Was delighted to sit down with the inimitable writer, essayist and cultural commentator Ewan Morrison back in December for a good old chat. Speaking to Ewan reminded me why I got caught up in the arts scene in Glasgow back in the early 2000s. The depth and breadth of his knowledge and critical thought cannot be underestimated -in particular now. We spoke on everything from the rise of the managerial class, AI, the evolution of identity politics, ambient adolescent apocalypticism, the death of ‘the left’, the failings of ‘optimistic nihilism’, equity and the race to the bottom in Scotland and what artists can and should be doing….

It’s clear Ewan’s passion to understand life at the edges (which informs the characters and storylines in his books) is driven by a genuine curiosity to find answers and solutions to societal ills. Or at least ask the right questions. It’s thinkers like this we need to be hearing more from. The conversation certainly enthused me to thinking about my own lost arts practice. I hope you will find our conversation similarly inspiring.
