Our 2022-23 Associates have been creating relevant, exciting new work for digital media. Ideas range from the story of a South Asian man who joins the EDL, to a piece that takes a fresh look at brown sisterhood.

Our 2022-23 Associates are Zishan Asfar, Gurjot Dhaliwal, Ben Grant, Kurban Kassam, Jaisal Marmion and Saher Shah. Hear more from them here:
