Present Tense
Josie Long presents short documentaries grounded in the present - from a look at the perception of time to a shared experience of sonic joy across the walls of a prison.
A shared experience of sonic joy crosses over the boundary of a prison wall, a conversation across generations explores being alive to the present moment, and an audio artwork from the archives plunges a listener into the sensation of time speeding up.
Josie Long presents short documentaries and audio adventures that hold you in the present tense.
