Well, this is a first for Red Lines.

It's half past two on Wednesday afternoon,

and we're in the pub.

And this week we're talking about politics and the arts,

that interesting place on the Venn diagram,

where they overlap.

My guests are two members of Array Collective,

the group of artists who's won the Turner Prize

back at the start of December last year, Emma Campbell and Stephen

Miller. Welcome to both of you. We're talking here, Emma in the Sunflower Bar, which is right in

the centre of Belfast, not too far away from your studio space. And congratulations, first of all, on

winning the Turner two months ago. Have you come back down to Earth? Not really, no. We're

still on a bit of a high from all that. The work isn't even back in Belfast just yet. Well, some

people might think that that's a completely life-changing event. You lift a prestigious international

art prize and you never again have to worry about anything. Is the reality very different?

Yeah, it's quite different.

I mean, we all had to go back to our jobs the day after we went home from the ceremony.

So, yeah, we do have a healthy dose of reality in the collective, yeah.

Yeah, there was children to look after and jobs to get

back to, like, and life just went on immediately.

Yeah.

But it was quite something.
