Another Bonus Mini Episode today from Spoken Label features the wonderful Liz Gibson talking about work she will be showing shortly on 10th August 2022 at Islington Mill, Salford, UK on the theme of Worker's rights with assistance of several actors. A bio about Liz is (in her own words): “Hello! I'm Liz. I am a writer, performer and tutor based in Manchester. I write poetry and fiction, reviews, essays, and opinion pieces. I am inspired by themes of community, city life, queerness, body image, and mental health, as well as by travel, the natural world, and folklore. I was awarded a DYCP grant by Arts Council England in Spring 2021, to develop my poetry and performance. In early 2021, I was chosen by Dibby Theatre for the competitive First Dibs programme for LGBTQ+ theatre-makers, and am working on my spoken-word show about walking in an empty city, and finding comfort in the places, nature, and animals around me. In 2020, my poem "Arrival" was selected by Manchester City of Literature to be part of the Tartu Bus Poetry Project in Estonia, and it currently appears on bus windows in Tartu, representing Manchester. I am a graduate of The Writing Squad and Young Identity (who I represented at One Mic Stand in 2019), and a member of Out on the Page.

Alison Ward is a multimedia artist based in Kingsbury, Texas. Her work spans the gamut from vaudeville to multimedia installation sculptures, but in everything she does she creates pieces that involve a larger audience, getting them directly involved and participating in the work. She is currently working on a collective project called Habitable Spaces. Habitable Spaces is part ecovillage, part living sculpture. It is a continually evolving project that invites a community of artists and farmers in to help visualize utopia. Before arriving in Kingsbury, Alison lived and worked in New York city showing and performing at the Queens Museum, The Dumbo Arts Center, the Bronx Museum, the CCCB Museum in Spain, RAW Space Gallery in Australia, Castlefield Gallery in England, and the Ponce Museum in Puerto Rico.
