Why we do what we do 🤝

Last week, professionals from leading brands and companies across the creative industry joined us for What Now?, our annual careers fair providing a dedicated day for practical advice, honest feedback and opening doors.

The feedback in this carousel comes directly from attendees and reflects exactly why this event exists: to make the creative industries feel a little less daunting, a little more accessible, and a lot more connected.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, shared their work, asked questions and made the most of the opportunity. And thank you to all of the industry professionals who generously gave their time, expertise and encouragement ❤️

Olubiyi Thomas () presents ‘Post - Nigredo’ at Sarbanade foundation

In Search of a Dark Star is an immersive exhibition that celebrates 10 years Olubiyi’s brand. ‘Like dark stars, believed to have existed long before conventional stars and although made up of dark matter would have been dazzlingly luminous, Olubiyi’s work has been consistently inspired by the concepts of transition, contradiction and reinvention.’

19th - 21st June
11am - 6pm

Exhibition NOW OPEN! Book Now via sarabandefoundation.org

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Anne Imhof () for an INSPIRED discussion with Acting Director of the Tate, Catherine Wood () ❤️

Anne Imhof is one of the most influential visual artists, choreographers and performance artists of her generation, known for works that bring together performance, image-making, music, and architecture into intensely choreographed environments. Across live works, exhibitions, and paintings, her practice explores presence, tension, intimacy, and collective experience.

➡️ Swipe through for a few highlights from the evening.

Thank you Anne & Catherine 💫
