We’ve collated all of the 20x20 Dudley videos of our 6 speakers who joined us during August. Take a look below and get inspired by their very different stories, practices and creative knowledge.
Lorna Prescott joined us on the 3rd of August and was our first 20x20 presenter. She took us through a selection of books and themes that have inspired her work, challenged ideas and have helped guide her through her career and personal life to look at everything from design thinking and economics to slow living.
