In the first episode of season 2 of ‘You’re On Mute’, Lord Michael Hastings is joined by Gus Casely-Hayford OBE, British curator, cultural historian, broadcaster and Director of V&A East, where they discuss Gus’s passion and dedication to showcasing African history on the global stage through art, music and culture.

Gus gives us insights into his early life, from his family moving over to the UK from Sierra Leone and Nigeria in the 1960’s, to discovering his artistic interests at a young age through his brothers. All of which have contributed to a successful and outstanding career in the arts, and his commitment to changing the publics perception of art in Africa, leading up to his exciting plans for V&A East and the future.
