AHEAD’s news story about Evelyn’s experience on the Bunker Talks

The PRG Intern Evelyn Pratt has been assisting with Bunker Talks for over a year now. After helping with over 10 talks, she feels that this internship opportunity has allowed her to develop essential skills in digital promotion and event organising. AHEAD, Arts and Humanities Engagement and Dialogue, who support PRG’s Bunker Talks, wrote a news story about Evelyn’s experience working on the talks.

‘The first time I did this was with writer and performer Rachel Smith. I met up with her at Manchester Art Gallery, and we had a little chat in the café before making the video that would feature on the Bunker Talks Instagram page. I was very nervous before meeting up with her as I’d never really made a promotional video like this before, but she was very open and enthusiastic and helped me feel comfortable! I’ve found it quite easy to learn as I go when working on these talks, after capturing the video I edited it using the Instagram edits feature, I found this is a helpful tool which I have used for every reel on the PRG and Bunker Talks pages since. I am now confident in video editing and marketing on social media.

Another aspect of working on the Bunker Talks is attending and assisting at the talks themselves. Mostly I am there to capture content for social media, but I also act as an event assistant who is ready to help if any problems occur. I am there before the talk starts to help set up the room, meet the artist, and ensure the filming team have everything they need before the audience arrive.’
