Teesside Rising is an interview project funded by the The Arts Council England comprising a team of 8 interviewers and 230 interviewees involved in the creative arts in Teesside and the Tees area. The interviews narrate a personal and collective journey through the creative arts, and form an important historical record of the negative and positive effects of lockdown, individually and as an arts community. Together we reflect personally, locally, globally, and from standpoints spanning the contemporary to the dawn of human consciousness. Interviews were conducted between 23 July 2020 and 23 January 2021.
