SEASON 5: Collective Imaginings

Collective Imaginings is a Light+ podcast where Jamila Prowse speaks to cultural workers about their experiences of navigating the sector, and their imaginings for the future of the arts. The series will consider how these cultural contributors work to break down barriers to the arts through their own work, as well as the strategies and support systems they have personally developed for surviving in the arts.

Following on from the work of Eva Rowson, the series will act as a resource tool for independent artists and curators, as well as people considering a career in the arts, around how to make things work, challenges one might face, and how to maintain a practice in the face of adversity.

Featuring: Jamila Prowse, Lucy Lopez, Rachel Noel, Jemma Desai, Deborah Joyce Holman, and Rabz Lansiquot.

In this Light + podcast series, we talk to the creators about their work, themes of empathy and intimate encounters with people and places.
