New Beginnings

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion I am joined by the photographers and curators behind the collaboration, New Beginnings.

 
 
 
 

The theme of “New Beginnings” and the real prospect of the COVID-19 pandemic being on the decline.
Specifically the lyrics of “Brave New World” seemed so appropriate in this regard;-

“New beginnings, new surroundings, new love

It’s a brave new world.”

Joel Harold Bogen / Toyah Wilcox @ 1982
