Super Culture: Art with Guts

This episode contains some strong language
It might be hard to admit, but there are still parts of the art world that are not accessible to everybody. So, what does it take to be a disruptor? To acknowledge you have privilege, and use it to create opportunities for those who don’t? It takes guts. 
  
In this final episode of our Super Culture series, we speak to Ellie Pennick, Director of Guts Gallery, a community empowering underrepresented voices in the arts. Ellie talks about her early experiences of culture, what it takes to create a level playing field and the sculpture that changed everything

If you want to feel hopeful about the future, just ask children what kind of world they would like to see. Their imagination knows no bounds, and their playful curiosity can be a refreshing change from the doom and gloom often foreseen by adults.  

For our SUPERFUTURES: What if…? podcast we will be tapping into that sense of wonder, exploring what it’s like to dream bigger and bolder for what lies ahead. Hosted by Natty Kasambala, we’ll be speaking with people who are tackling some of our greatest challenges in ways only children could have imagined, to make the world a better place for everyone.
