GBA 263 Neil From Arts Emergency

In GBA 263 we get better acquainted with Neil. We talk about the personal and political factors and influences that motivated him to co-created Arts Emergency, how Arts Emergency has impacted his life and the vital and important work the organisation does supporting and mentoring young people from less advantaged backgrounds to find their way into to arts and humanities. Arts Emergency is the grassroots ALTERNATIVE to old boy networks in arts, culture and higher education.
