In late 2022, Leyla Josephine鈥檚 debut poetry book, In Public/In Private, was published, with a whirlwind tour around England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to support it. We meet the performance poet at the top of her game as she pauses for breath in her adopted hometown of Prestwick. In an exclusive recording from the beach, Leyla reads Questions I Have for Birds and gets ready for her much-anticipated homecoming gig at Glasgow鈥檚 iconic King Tut鈥檚 Wah Wah Hut.

Mousa Alnana is a Syrian artist working in painting, print and graphic design, who now calls Glasgow home. A master鈥檚 graduate from the Glasgow School of Art, Mousa鈥檚 work draws from his own experiences, showing humanity in its different colours and vulnerable stages. As well as showing us his own highly personal work, Mousa lets us in to one of his creative workshops at Glasgow鈥檚 Centre for Contemporary Arts.

When they started No Comply, romantic and professional partners Cat and Andy turned their love for skateboarding into an eco-friendly business, as well as an art form. The pair collect used and discarded skateboards from across the UK and give them a new lease of life as a piece of beautiful handmade homeware. From the barn in rural Perthshire that they use as a workshop, the couple reveal their multi-layered process, which involves stripping the boards, gluing them together and lathing them down into the final products.

There is also an exclusive performance from poet Harry Josephine Giles, who performs her poem No Such Thing as Belonging.
