Tell Me Something I Don't know
An ongoing talk series led for Primary. Six speakers talk about anything for 15 minutes.
Talks to date include: My life and the river Leen; A one way trip to Mars; What on earth is permaculture?; My wonderful world with pigeons; Let’s watch… playback theatre.
Speakers are residents at Primary, visiting makers/artists, local people, audience members, former project participants. We eat together and involve local food producers. The project continues as part of Making Place, a new long-term project at Primary which focuses on place-making and people around Primary in Radford and Lenton.
Tell Me Something I Don't Know was developed with artist Ian Nesbit as part of his Ek-Uh-Nom-Iks project at Primary in 2016. The first Tell Me Something I Don't Know talks took place at the culmination of this project, The Commoners' Fair, on 6th November, 2016.
