Listen "Claire Wellesley-Smith and Amber Butchart"
Episode Synopsis
Amber Butchart is in conversation with artist and academic Claire Wellesley-Smith, about their co-curated exhibition The Synthetic Revolution. The show looks at the development of the first polyester fibre made from crude oil by-products in Accrington, which was later branded with the name Terylene. They discuss how this local story became not only global but intergalactic in the post-war decades of the 1950s and 60s. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
