On 1 September, our team came together with 12 creative associations to share research findings, but what unfolded was more than a presentation. It was a moment of connection: honest conversations, diverse perspectives, and a shared vision for a creative sector where everyone has an equal chance to lead and thrive.
This project, carried out in partnership with the Department of Arts and UNESCO, is about more than data. It’s about people especially women whose voices and leadership are essential to the future of the arts in Malawi. Each story shared, each question raised, reminded us why this work matters.
We’re deeply grateful to the associations who showed up with openness and commitment. Their passion for equity and inclusion continues to inspire us and fuel this journey.
And this is only the beginning. Together, we are building pathways toward a more inclusive, equitable, and empowering creative industry. Stay with us as the journey unfolds.
