Gallery 17, Episode 6 - Meeting One Hundred And Six

John Lloyd and Anna Ptaszynski are joined by comedian, cabaret performer and (by day) immigration lawyer Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes, cultural entomologist and entertainer Bridget Nicholls and explorer, writer, & photographer Levison Wood.

Further details

Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes, a comedian known normally by her first name alone, who also works as an immigration lawyer and cabaret dancer, who spent much of her life in Barbados, offers up a Game Boy Colour. She argues it is the most beloved games console in the country, to the point that she got her best friend to get Sikisa one for a recent Christmas.

Bridget Nicholls, a former comedy performer who became a cultural entomologist and the creator of Pestival, a festival devoted to insects, donates a termite mound. The mound works as a form of chimney, and we could use this to help develop ideas for air conditioning.

Levison Wood, a writer and photographer, army officer who served in Afghanistan, author of ten books, and documentary maker covering his exploration, provides a megalodon tooth. Megalodon sharks were the size of double-deck buses, and one of their teetn is 17cm long.
