Dean Atta (UK) and Ziggy Zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie (Indonesia) are both writers who spent a month in residence with Metal in Southend as part of our Essex Writers House in March 2019 – a partnership with Essex Book Festival. This film captures them in conversation, talking about what they have been working on while in residence and the benefits of having time and space to explore new ideas and work.
Ziggy was supported to come into residence from Indonesia by the British Council. Dean’s residency was supported by Arts Council England.
