Episode 1
Loop meets Libertines frontman Peter Doherty, who shares his thoughts on art as a form of rehabilitation after taking part in a life drawing session with prisoners at HMP Barlinnie, as well as opening up about his own recovery.
From a blank page to a leather-bound treasure, bookbinder Gillian Stewart takes us through the satisfying process of creating a handmade book.
In Edinburgh, Dawn Irvine is at Capital Theatres to chat accessible art and how to tailor it to those living with dementia. We also hear from Willy Gilder, who after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's in early 2021, recognises more than ever the importance of having access to arts and culture.
Stepping into the otherworldly creations of set designer Furmaan Ahmed, Loop goes behind the scenes on a shoot with Glasgow band Walt Disco, as Furmaan explains how their work serves as a form of escapism from the reality we live in.
Bright colours, abstract shapes and large-scale rug tufting is how Molly Kent deals with her diagnosis of complex PTSD, and through her practice she hopes to open up the conversation around art and mental health.
