In this episode, BASA Awards Chairman Kojo Baffoe speaks to Samm Marshall about the unavoidable changes he and the rest of the Awards panel were compelled to carry through, in spite of this ‘Black Swan’ moment, and often because of it.

Kojo and Samm unpack the adaptations assimilated into this new BASA Awards model – both the adaptations effected through our organisation’s own strategic efforts to improve, as well as those imposed through the current societal status quo.

Ultimately, the conversation examines the necessity of these events, in sustaining the arts as the heart and soul of society. As Kojo so eloquently states, “We need to keep doing things today to guarantee we have arts projects tomorrow.”
