The pictures shown above are from an installation by Sophie Cave at the Kelvingrove Art Galleries in Glasgow entitled ‘Expression’. They complement the Talking Heads Series by illustrating the wide and varied range of people and organisations that the Spoken Word project has worked with and also the way in which the project approaches such collaborations.

The following biographies all contain information about key collectors of Spoken Word Materials. Each biography is supplemented with a video podcast that includes a reflective interview with the collector about their experiences of working with Spoken Word services and the programmes that the Spoken Word has harvested for them.
