🫂 The last day of IETM Focus Bradford was filled with personal experiences and local knowledge that allowed participants to imagine hopeful ways forward 🔹 We started the day with a panel discussion facilitated by Tundé Adeshola Adefioye and Ben Evans in discussion with Selina Thompson, Silvia Sopale and Paulina Uryszek, where we delved into the complexities that come with balancing accessibility and equity with local cultural contexts, and navigating the realities of working internationally for disabled and racialised artists 🤸♀️ In the afternoon, participants were guided by Joris Janssens and Eglė Valintėlytė in an interactive workshop focussing on the working models of Perform Europe, and how we can learn from them to design our own inclusive and green touring projects 🥂 The Focus ended in classic IETM style with drinks and continued conversations at the late night working point 🎉 What a week! We’d like to thank our partners Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture and caravan, Farnham Maltings for a brilliant few days full of invigorating discussions, inspiring learnings and treasured connections © 📷 Nida Mozuraite
