Diversity Arts Australia and British Council joined forces to run INTERSECT, a knowledge-exchange program between Australia and the UK which connected culturally diverse and First Nations arts and screen leaders from both countries. This episode we talk to INTERSECT participants about how they "put down cultural markers" in their respective sectors to affect long-term change, making diversity a vital part of core business rather than just a "side dish."

Featuring: INTERSECT participants Abdul Shayek (Theatre Director and Artistic Director of FIO), Nike Jonah (Executive Director of the Pan-African Creative Exchange) and Mikala Tai (former Director of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art). Alison Tanudisastro also speaks to Sydney-based artist Ayebatonye about how they've been adapting in Covid times at a we are the mainstream event.
