Nic Treadwells Storyville

In the context of the events of the last few years, which has seen a worrying move towards a more authoritarian society, I look back at the relationship between art and protest thoughout history. Written by Nic Treadwell

In this revised piece of writing from 2013 I explore the effect of one particular episode of Deep Space Nine called The Visitor, which had a profound effect on me at around the same time as my mother passed away.

Written in 2010 and expanded and revisted in 2023 this is a reflection on my own experience with TV and how I remember those days back in the 70s and 80s.
