Serpentine Intimacies

This series of Serpentine Podcast explores the complexities of closeness and asks how we can expand and evolve our connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Serpentine Podcast: Intimacies considers many forms, ideas and understandings of intimacy. Last series reimagined the world, and it’s now time to look at ourselves and our relationships. Join our host, Gaylene Gould, as she gathers perspectives from artists, designers, writers, thinkers, and others on how we can rekindle trust, and open ourselves up to new possibilities for connection.

Delving into the feelings and experiences which we don’t always voice, this series interrogates intimacy in unexpected ways – from our relationships with family or strangers, to the things we fear most and our deepest desires, to our surroundings and our innermost selves. Each episode combines interviews, original audio works, conversations, pieces from the Serpentine archive, and tenderly crafted sound worlds to explore what is happening within and between us. This series itself is an exercise in intimacy: personal, emotional, reflective, and an exploration of vulnerability in many ways.
