13/10 1pm-2pm: Acting up for creative change

webadmin Resource — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:56:53 GMT

When: 13:00 - 14:00, Tue, 13 Oct '26

Join actor, writer, activist, and UN advisor Catherine Joy White in conversation with ��ý Director of Communications and respected broadcaster, Satnam Rana-Grindley.

With a career that’s already included recognition at Cannes, an appearance in TV titan Bridgerton, founding her own production company, and an award-winning first book, Cat is a creative powerhouse who’s found a way to splice art with agenda-setting activism.

As well as honest reflections on some of the most pressing issues facing arts and artists today, Cat will share her most special ��ý memories, how (and why) she’s learned to say no, and why the ways we all support and engage with culture matter now more than ever.

Don’t miss out – book your place today.

In 1950s West Germany, the embrace of modernist design was seen as a turn away from National Socialism.

This talk examines the contributions of German-Jewish forced laborers to West German design innovations that continue to influence contemporary consumer culture and in particular Apple’s trademark aesthetic.
