Welcome to the Materially Speaking newsletter
Hello
Thank you for joining our mailing list for the podcast Materially Speaking.
We start with stories from the community of artists working in stone, near a town called Pietrasanta in northern Italy. Generations of artists have been coming here to source the marble available nearby and work with the highly skilled artisans.

When I saw how fast the lives of the artists and artisans in this area were changing, I wanted to capture their stories. They have shared incredible tales of migration, identity and the strange effects of random acts of kindness. Additionally, they’ve revealed stories of how one community dominated by a single natural resource adapts to constant change.
We’ll email you when each episode goes live. In the first wave that should be weekly.
Enjoy listening!
