South Downs Voices: Anooshka Rawden, We Hear You Now

Anooshka Rawden is the Cultural Heritage Lead at the South Downs National Park Authority and oversees the Writer in Residence programme.
She reflects on the highlights and learnings from We Hear You Now.
----------------------------------
Between 2020 and 2023, over 35 award winning, established and emerging writers worked with Writer in Residence, Alinah Azadeh, to develop and produce new stories and poetry responding to Sussex’s sublime coastal landscape, through its history and topography, as part of We See You Now.
Eleven of these writers were commissioned to record their work for the We Hear You Now audio series.
The work they produced seeks to reframe the traditional pastoral image of the English coastal landscape through a global, poetic and quietly radical lens.
