People Versus TV (PVTV) host monthly Creative Meet-Ups at DoES Liverpool, bringing together local artists, filmmakers and creatively curious people to experiment, collaborate and develop ideas in an informal setting.
Sessions vary month to month, but can include working together on ideas, trying out creative exercises, developing concepts for short films, building miniature sets, experimenting with green screen, puppetry, or testing simple practical effects.
The meet-ups are open to anyone, whether you’re experienced or just starting out. The focus is on shared experimentation, and ideas are developed collectively in the room.
These sessions are part of PVTV’s ongoing grassroots programme, creating space for collaboration, experimentation and creative community-building in Liverpool .
These are relaxed, low-pressure sessions designed to help people connect, try things out and get involved in future projects.
The Creative Meet Ups are free, with no booking required.

Subterranean Elevator has been conceived by artist Di Mainstone, and developed with a team of inter-disciplinary specialists. The installation invites intrepid visitors to explore the inner worlds of soil and the subconscious mind. On entering a dark, elevator-shaped environment, they will feel a soft earth-like substance beneath their feet, where they can stand, sit, or nestle. As the elevator commences its ‘descent’, subterranean tourists will experience mesmerising sounds and projected visuals, creating the sensation of sinking deep into the earth.
Mainstone has coined the term “Subnosis” to describe this hypnotic journey, in which surreal subterranean creatures flourish amongst fleeting thoughts, tickled by roots and intersected by neural pathways that lead us into an interior universe. In this place of collective contemplation, we are invited to remember our connection to all living and nonliving things here on our precious planet.
The artwork aims to deepen our understanding of biodiversity loss and engage with the emotional landscape of the climate emergency.

Today, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. FOLKTALES tells the timely and emotional story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of Alaskan huskies, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals and humans around them.
For nearly two centuries, Scandinavian folk high schools – some of which are rooted in the lessons of Norse mythology – have emphasized the power of nature, simplicity, and community to transform young lives. “We hope we can wake up your Stone Age brain,” Pasvik instructor Iselin tells her students.
Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography, Academy Award®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood, finding themselves at the edge of the world.
