2024 / 2025 YOUNG PRODUCERS
Abi
“ I've always used art as a way to express myself, as I struggle to do so in other ways. It's how I communicate with, and perceive, the world. I aim to connect with people through art, and help others connect with each other, and find their voices, so that we can all have a better tomorrow. It's the humans duty to create in this world, as the future is in our expression, so express as much, and unapologetically, as you can! ”
RYO
“ To me, gender equality is about creating an inclusive environment where people of all identities have the same rights, chances, and access to resources. It means getting rid of discrimination and unfair treatment based on gender, making sure everyone is treated fairly in all aspects of life like education, work, health care etc. I also feel it highlights the value of different experiences / viewpoints and involves breaking down unfair systems and questioning cultural norms that keep gender gaps alive. ”
LIA
“ Hi, I’m Lia, and I am working with POW this year as part of their mentee program. I am currently studying Art & Design LVL 3 year 2, with the intention to go to uni to study Fashion Atelier and Tailoring. I love photography because I get to show people how I see things. I also really love to read and enjoy reading when it is rainy outside. Outside of my creative interests I play rugby and workout as way to relax. ”
