Every now and then, there comes a song that has space for everything - all of it. Good, bad and ugly; brave, wild and hilarious. This is one such song (and we know the perfect person to introduce you to it). Meet Ruth Charnock.
Ruth is a queer writer, tarot reader, artist, creative mentor, facilitator and lapsed academic. She makes work about feelings, music, sex, knots and words. She is the author and editor of Joni Mitchell: New Critical Readings and is working on a book about tarot and queer motherhood. She is one half of the collaboration ‘Witching the Institution’ with Karen Schaller and newly the co-steward of the Beyond Form creative platform alongside Sarah Amsler.
