I approached Volcano specifically because I want to get a more diverse group of people, especially artists, involved. Volcano is part of the Swansea Creative Hub, and there are a number of art collectives/studios nearby. I also want to avoid the perception that we're part of the university, in order to make those not affiliated with Swansea University feel more welcome.</div>
