Thought Leadership

Because we know that building a more sustainable and inclusive cultural sector requires new ways of thinking, we’re creating a platform for eminent thought leaders to provoke debate and challenge the status quo.

Another World is Possible

In November 2024, we hosted our second inaugural Thought Leadership Lecture, given by Former Green Party Leader, Caroline Lucas at the Southbank Centre. ‘Another World is Possible’ launched our programme on environmental impact, encouraging the cultural sector to become leaders in response to the climate emergency.
