About

Join Threshold Studios through conversations with experts and innovators as we explore how we can move ‘diversity’ forward. Where is positive change happening, and how do we share these actions?

In the final Collider Conversation of the current series, the evening will discuss what happens when the arts and media lose working class voices.

How can we counter the increasing lack of higher education in arts and media in those with talent from working class and disadvantaged backgrounds? How can we encourage genuine creative collaborations without pandering to working class stereotypes, making assumptions, and create content audiences actually want and are interested in?

The evening will be chaired by Lisa Mckenzie, sociologist and research fellow at the London School of Economics with speakers Karla Marie Sweet from Arts Emergency, enabling artistic opportunities for current and future students who are least able to pay for education; artist educator Sian Watson Taylor and lens-based artist Ben Harriott.
