In 2021, the creative industries face a series of urgent challenges. How can cultural activity recover from the long period of dormancy enforced by lockdown? What kinds of relationships will audiences build with producers as culture shifts radically online? And how can creative institutions respond to calls for greater diversity both in terms of their output and their workforce?
Oxford Brookes Creative Industries Research and Innovation Network is proud to present a month of virtual seminars, workshops and discussions which engage with these and many other vital issues facing today’s cultural creators. The Creative Industries Festival 2021 brings together practitioners, policy-makers and researchers from a range of sectors including music, film, the visual arts, and high-tech artificial intelligence. Brookes researchers and students will have opportunities to bring their work to a wider audience, to build new relationships between the University and its external partners, and to help shape the future of creativity in the UK and beyond.
OxLEP present a panel discussion on how we can strengthen and ensure a diverse and economically-stable creative industries sector in the county, recognising what is needed to support current and future aspirations of working within the creative economy and supporting those with the best ideas to realise their potential.
Presenters:
Lucinda Whiteley: Co-founder and Creative Director Novel Entertainment
Lucy Shaw: Head of Partnerships and Programmes, and Programme Director for Oxford Cultural Leaders, Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM), The University of Oxford
