Four Thought - Anna Woodhouse: Windows to the Soul
Download Anna Woodhouse: Windows to the Soul
Anna Woodhouse explores what looking through glass and glasses means for us.
When she was a call centre worker Anna could see the towers of Leeds University through the window of her high rise block on a Leeds council estate. For her, this symbolised both possibility and disconnection from the object of her desire. When she eventually left the estate, she completed a study on the place of glass in our culture.
Four Thought is a series of talks which combine new ideas and personal stories. Speakers explain their latest thinking on the trends and ideas in culture and society in front of a live audience at Somerset House.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
