David Shenton’s life in cartoons - 018

Adam got to meet the artist David Shenton and get a sneak peek of his retrospective exhibition at Norwich Castle and Museum. David’s 50+ year career is filled with wit, humour, LGBTQ+ politics, and wry observations — we loved to hear it all.

Thanks to the co-curators Ruth Battersby and Ian Giles, and Adam Baker of Queer Norfolk for help with this episode.
