Building Birmz
July 2017, Night Owl
|
On 25 July, we held the very first Bring Me In in Birmingham, following our success in London.
This Bring Me In focused on how we as artists of colour can build sustainable enterprises and organisations designed to serve BAME communities. We brought together Birmingham’s top POC creatives who shared their tips on how to best to develop artistic ecosystems in the UK's major cities, the best way to build networks in Birmingham as a hub for BAME talent, plus a chance to connect with like-minded individuals. Panelists include Amahra Spence, Ammo Talwar and Ian Sergeant, as well as performances from Birmingham's finest talents Affiejam and Elle Chante, plus north-west London's Zia Ahmed.

Funding Your Future
May 2017, Hackney Showroom
|
The second Bring Me In focused on the theme of Funding Your Future; how best can we of artists and innovators of colour navigate to ensure we access financial opportunities? What are the best steps to ensure we can reach these opportunities? How can we stand out from the crowd to achieve funding? Tackling the big questions was Clive Little, Chirag Patel, Nathalia Syam and Tobi Kyeremateng, and our good friend Russenï chaired the discussion.
Russeni also led our facilitated networking activities, encouraging our attendees to share their skills, stories and phone numbers... Concluding the evening we had incredible performances from Kareem Parkins-Brown, Mnelia, Raheela Suleman and Latir. Want to suggest your ideas for the theme of the next Bring Me In?

Being Your Own Brand
March 2017, Hackney Showroom
|
Our first #BringIns featured a panel of remarkably talented black creatives, including exhibition curators, poets, broadcasters, visual artists and journalists. Chaired by Rasheeda Page-Muir, CEO of Revolyoution, the panel provided insights on how best to establish yourself in the creative world, the best ways to market yourself and your work and how to overcome the hurdles placed in front of BAME creators looking to make a mark in the industry. Many thanks to Nicole Crentsil, Varaidzo, JJ Bola, Ubuntugraphy and Jumoke Fashola for being part of our panel.
We then followed the talk and Q+A with networking activities led by members of the S+K team, and rounded off the evening with performances by poets Amina Jama and Ruth Sutoyé, and singer Kemar Pennant. Take a look at the photos and video to see what you missed out on, and let us know what you would like to see or be discussed at the next Bring Me In by email or social media (@_SKProject).
