We’re immensely proud of one of our oldest and one our favourite members, Madiha Ansari, with the launch of her Culture 101 initiative, which just closed its first round of recruitment.

Culture 101 is a new development programme for ethnically diverse women in Bradford, developed in partnership with Bradford Producing Hub. Over the course of 6-months, a cohort of fifteen Bradford-based women from ethnically diverse backgrounds will experience a series of live, online masterclasses and mentoring for working in the creative industries. Everything from fundraising and dramaturgy, to arts administration, audience development and placemaking will be explored, along with several other topics.

We’ll be following Madiha and her inaugural cohort closely and wish her the best of luck with Culture 101 – you can find out more at… bdproducinghub.co.uk/culture-101.
