21 August 2024
Artists and creative organisations to deliver three days of vital policy discussion and inspiring performances in Liverpool
Create Central is delighted to be part of Creativity Unleashed. From Sunday 22 to Tuesday 24 September 2024, representatives from across the Cultural and Creative Industries will come together at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool to showcase – and advocate for – the huge value and impact of the creative sector in the United Kingdom, and beyond.
In an extraordinary moment of collaboration, 40 creative organisations have come together with Creative UK and a range of celebrated talent to ensure that politicians, policymakers and party members hear firsthand the solutions the cultural and creative industries have for the socio-economic challenges we face.
Located inside the Conference secure zone, the Cultural and Creative Industries Pavilion will be home to three days of policy-led discussions and debates, alongside performances and presentations.
Steve McQueen, Cynthia Erivo, Vicky McClure, Andy Serkis, Adrian Lester, David Harewood, Andy Serkis, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, David Morrisey, Brad Kella, Les Dennis, Michael Aldag and Ni Maxine set to appear, with mixture of fireside chats and performances.
Topics to be discussed include, why who makes culture matters, rethinking funding models, our collective approach to creative skills development, navigating the age of AI, and Britain’s position on the world stage – both as a global exporter of goods and services as well as wielding soft power.
The programme’s content will explore why the Cultural and Creative Industries should be central to Labour’s policymaking, and how the sector can tangibly drive inclusive growth across the UK.
