    Space for the Self-Made : podcast pilot with YaYa Bones, Daikon* zine and The Cocoa Butter Club

    Space for the Self-Made is a new podcast created by Issie Leigh and Jeng Au, members our youth-led innovation lab, Interchange. The podcast addresses adversities felt by people of colour in the arts and creative industries through reframing the narrative focus from the negative and instead explores the culture of resilience emerging among young London creatives. The pilot episode gives a solid springboard as it traverses three major points of contention for young PoC today; diversity and representation, the necessity of safe-spaces and economic uncertainty seen through the lens of young creatives who are “making their own creative space”. Interviews and guests include musician and artist YaYa Bones, print publication for East and South-east Asian women and non-binary voices Daikon* zine and audience members at The Cocoa Butter Club who showcase and celebrate performers of colour. This work was supported by AHRC grant AH/P013155/1, 'Who is missing from the picture? The problem of inequality in the creative economy and what we can do about it.', funded as part of Panic! 2018. Please note: contains some swearing.
