About the brands:
A collective: SOUL is an events platform and gallery for creatives to showcase their work, network and enjoy as we’re easing back into live events. Having been around since 2018, A collective: SOUL continues to create spaces in which underrepresented voices are heard and appreciated. As a young woman of colour, founder and artist Pritt knows that the music industry can feel both hostile and isolating, with a lack of spaces like those created in line with the values of A collective: SOUL.
ATA RODO showcases the creative talents of black and brown female artists through exhibitions and events. Fuelled by ridiculously low statistics of representation in commercial galleries, founder Funso has created a platform exclusively focused on ensuring the work of these women is given the attention it deserves. ATA RODO’s work has the power to cultivate discussion, challenge stigmas and shape new ways of thinking- but the first step is getting that work out there.
Lastly, Friends In My Ends is a platform dedicated to challenging the norm of who belongs at the forefront of creative culture. The first initiative being a series of short documentaries, Friends In My Ends are setting the bar as for how they intend to serve as a platform empowering young, London-based creatives whose voices are, for whatever reason, not being heard the way they should be.
Presented by A collective: SOUL, ATA RODO and Friends In My Ends.
