As April tips into May, we are delighted to be joined by Co-Director of Mayfest, Matthew Austin from MAYK, who will be joining us to talk to us about the upcoming festival, one of the highlights of Bristol's cultural calendar.

In conversation with Studio Producer, Verity McIntosh he will introduce us to some of the thinking behind curating “A pulse-racing programme of work ranging that offers fledgling local companies cheek by jowl with artists of international reputation" The Guardian 

Offering everything from a relaxed, safe, social cafe in which to talk about death; to a pedestrian speaker symphony that enables you to travel the city as a walking orchestra; to an intimate storytelling performance about food, memory and grief. We are particularly fascinated by the enhanced Mayfest Radio programme this year, promising "noise, voices, music and a touch of chaos" over the airwaves. 

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
