Conversations around creativity, identity, and disability
About
The Work Between is a podcast about the relationship between creative practice and identity. Host Nic Steenhout talks with disabled creators, artists, and makers. Guests include painters, quilters, musicians, sculptors, and photographers. Conversations explore how artistic work and disability shape each other. These aren't inspiration stories. They're conversations about the actual, sometimes complicated ways people make things.

Róisín Curé on comics and urban sketching
Guest: Róisín Curé
Róisín Curé talks about finally calling herself a comics creator after years of resisting labels, and about her new monthly comic Wild Atlantic Ink. The conversation moves through drawing from life versus photos, what years of sketching built in her hands, and the calm that sketching brings to a mind that has long carried melancholy. It ends up somewhere unexpected, with foraged food and homemade bread.

This show is about creative work: How it's made, sustained, and sometimes blocked. It centers disabled voices and treats disability as a lived experience shaped by the world around us, not a metaphor. I don't platform perspectives that deny disabled people's autonomy or dignity.
Come talk to me
- Are you an artist or a maker?
- Are you disabled?
When I ask if you are an artist or a maker, I'm thinking about people who make things. Painters, sculptors, musicians, photographers, chefs, fiber artists, and authors. If that sounds like you, I'd love to talk.
I would love to invite you as a guest on the show if you answered yes to both questions. Please contact me at info@nicolas-steenhout.com to discuss your participation on the podcast.
