Shaping Tomorrow Live: Featuring Troi Lee & Chloe Straw
Hear Art brought Shaping Tomorrow to the London Podcast Festival, featuring Troi Lee MBE and Chloe Straw. The live show inspired audiences with Troi’s journey as a deaf DJ and his advocacy for the deaf community, while exploring accessibility and inclusion in podcasting. The engaging conversation highlighted the power of video podcasts to amplify unheard voices. We’re thrilled to be invited back next year, with hopes to run workshops and continue pushing for representation.

The weekend celebrated the brilliance of young Black filmmakers, whose bold, powerful stories lit up the screen. More than a festival, ITAV honours underrepresented creatives and the ‘villages’ who support them, building a vibrant, diverse community for the future of film.
