Anisa Topan x Project Pamper x Sophie Cochevelou

On this week’s Midweek Reset, Anisa Topan explores the stories carried by clothes, objects and communities—and the creativity that gives them new life.

Vani and nail technician Shakira from Project Pamper join the show to discuss affordable treatments, training young people and building confidence at their Hackney Road studio.

Artist Sophie Cochevelou brings her colourful world of wearable art into the studio, sharing how reclaimed objects become costume, jewellery and performance. In a recorded conversation, Miriam Quick, co-founder of Loud Numbers, explains how eleven years of anonymised business data became The Financial Symphony, created with Sage.

Elsewhere, Anisa previews John Lewis × RIXO, Tate Britain’s The 90s: Art and Fashion and Mei-Hui Liu’s Memory Land: Spitalfields. She also shares her experience of undergoing three breast biopsies and awaiting results during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and highlights St Joseph’s Hospice’s Great East End Walk.

A Cosmic Moment inspired by Victoria Greer Hathaway considers Venus retrograde, authenticity and the identities we wear. Music spans TLC, Orbital, Daniel Avery, Shakespears Sister, HXXA, Eve, Kreayshawn, Terence Trent D’Arby and Whitehead Bros.
