Studio Richter Mahr is a multi-arts space recently opened by world-renowned composer Max Richter and award-winning visual artist Yulia Mahr. What they call their "art factory in the wood".
20 years in the planning, the space is carbon negative and created with sustainability at its heart – initiatives include generating their own clean solar energy to a kitchen garden serving food in the on-site cafe.
Max and Yulia speak to hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane about the design of the Oxfordshire studio, how they're opening it to emerging artists and the challenge of creating art that's themed around the climate emergency.
As always, we'll also leave you with some recommendations.
