Voicebox: Identity and Equality

Identity and Equality

We believe that the arts, and society as a whole, is better when it is diverse. Better representation, equal opportunities, and a voice for everyone should be an expectation, not a pipe dream. There should be more accurate depictions of LGBTQ+ relationships on screen, more BAME talent celebrated in award ceremonies, and more access for disabled people in theatre. People should be able to see themselves represented and acknowledged in society. Our differences are what make us the same, and we should cherish that, and build upon it to make a better world for all.

    The Joy of Being an Inconvenience

    by Lucy Evans Kickstart

    Any woman trying to break into her industry will have more than a handful of stories of being met with underestimation, harsh judgements, and a barrage of simply absurd assumptions. For me, trying to crack the art industry was no different.
