After the huge success of our last big event, ‘Building Creative Resilience’ we’re ready to take the stage for part three of ‘Gather Round Presents’, a series of free events designed to bring the local creative community together.
On Thursday 26th September, we’ll show a warm welcome to our four inspirational speakers as they delve into their stories of how they overcame societal barriers and smashed through glass ceilings to come out on top!
We’re honoured to be joined by…
Rema is a woman of many talents, and awards. At just 24 years old she was named one of the most influential people in Bristol by Rife Magazine and one of the most inspiring Black journalists in the UK by Behind Local News in 2020. Pressing on from her previous accolades though, Rema has carved herself an even more prominent seat in the Bristol creative landscape as she expands her DJing career across multiple iconic music venues such as The Love Inn, Lakota and Lost Horizon. Alongside getting people dancing, she gets people listening, as Rema currently works as an Audio Producer with the team at 18Sixty, working out of our Brunswick Sq location as a Flexi member. We love you Rema!
With a career spanning 10 years in the marketing industry, working with some incredible brands such as Pukka Herbs and Greenhouse Communications, Miranda is at the top of her game. Now advocating for education around menstrual health as Grace & Green’s Head of Marketing, Miranda recently spearheaded the overhaul of their visual identity, breaking the taboo around periods. Go Miranda!
As Founder and Creative Director of music-initiative, Saffron Records, Laura knows a thing or two about breaking through glass ceilings. Laura’s mission to balance the scales in the music industry is one of personal passion and has since honed her commitment to creating a more equitable space for womxn in the industry. Working alongside global music tech companies, such as Spitfire Audio, Pioneer DJ and Abbey Road Studios, Laura is constantly searching for ways to increase the incredibly low percentage of womxn (5%), with only 2.6% back womxn, working in the industry today. We can’t wait to hear about her journey in detail.
If you’re a Bristol native, you can’t go far without bumping into someone who knows Emmanuella, a creative powerhouse and award-winning artist, excelling in her field. Emmanuella recently left a 4-year long role as Production & Partnerships Manager at Bristol-based environmental communications agency Enviral to engage in personal projects full-time. Specialising in purpose-driven creative across film, photography, writing, graphics, sound and immersive events, her most recent project ‘Where Do We Go When We____?’ is a collaborative project aimed to normalise climate engagement for marginalised groups by exploring creative tech prototypes that create neurodiverse-friendly, multi-sensory experiences, using access as a creative tool to connect people to nature. Emmanuella’s wealth of experience is sure to prove great listening.
If that hasn’t given you enough reason to join us, we’ll also be providing free pizza from local legends Pizzarova, delivered by sustainable delivery company Foodstuff, as well as free drinks from our sponsor Positive Drinks Co – the only place to get the best non-alcoholic drinks! Alongside this we’ll have an open bar and plenty of time for a chat in our gorgeous ground-floor event space.
It goes without saying that you won’t want to miss this one and we’re sure it’s going to be another sell out, so get your name on the list quickly (we expect the spaces to book up quickly!) and we’ll see you soon!
