Designing Community Spaces ft Charlotte Dryden, Tenma & Ratheesh Krishnan | Madras Medai Podcast Ep 03 Madras Medai Podcast

    • Muziek

Imagining and creating spaces that present a future that is inclusive and diverse. A major challenge we face in the spaces that currently host artists is the lack of diversity in their programming. We must build future spaces for the arts, designed with the community in mind and help navigate the challenges of discrimination and address the lack of opportunities for marginalized communities.

Supported by The British Council, this series aims to act as a gateway to empower emerging artists within the music ecosystem and to explore new opportunities.
