Daisy Hildyard, author of Hunters in the Snow, The Second Body and Emergency, which was awarded the 2023 RSL Encore Award, speaks to writer and curator Filipa Ramos about her work to date. The conversation touches on accommodating different forms of life – human, animal, plant – in writing, the ways in which stories come to live independently of their teller, relating experiences that happen outside of language, and humility in the face of our limited knowledge. Recorded at Young Space in July 2024. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music composed by Kwes Darko.
