The Art of Bridging is a podcast from the Distant Voices project. Over the last four years, we‘ve been bringing people together to write songs in and around the Scottish criminal justice system. We set out to learn more about what it‘s like to come home after prison, and to try to build bridges through songwriting and creative practice. In the Art of Bridging, the community of people around Distant Voices - all of whom are connected to the criminal justice system in different ways - share some of what we‘ve made and learned along the way. Whether you‘re a music-lover, a community organiser or a system changer, we hope you‘ll enjoy this mix of thought-provoking conversations and compelling, challenging and beautiful tunes. Distant Voices is a collaboration between arts organisation Vox Liminis, the University of Glasgow, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of the West of Scotland, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (Award No: ES/P002536/1)

In Episode 5, Jo and Gordon take us on a behind-the-scenes journey into the making of A Giant on the Bridge, a unique narrative gig from the Distant Voices project. We'll find out about TREEs (Tiny Research Explorations and Enquiries) and how they helped generate dialogue between people and perspectives. We'll hear what happens when restorative justice meets songwriting, and how this kind of encounter can shed new light on professional practice in criminal justice. Along the way we'll hear songs co-created by Rachel Sermanni, Frank, Jo Mango, Louis Abbott, Gordon, and others, as we try to understand how making things together can help us reach out across uncertain, conflicted, in-between spaces, like the beams of a bridge.
