  • Summary

  • Since the pandemic the act of coming together, to connect - with family, in making change happen or simply to experience a live event – has never felt more important.


    My name is Sarah Wishart and I’m a film maker and writer, and have worked for many years in the charity and education sectors in the UK. Its got me talking to some amazingly interesting people.


    Most recently I’ve been working on coproduction film projects where affected communities are the people to talk about the issues that impact them. I’ve talked a lot to people over the last few years about ideas around connection, coproduction and change and wanted to start capturing some of these conversations in a podcast. This is that podcast.

     

    I’ll be talking to a range of people about their thoughts and experiences of change-making, of communities, temporary or otherwise, of the importance of connection…. basically about the moments of coming together around events like friendship, protest, activism or even death.

    Since the pandemic, the act of coming together; to connect, with family, in making change happen, or to simply experience a live event has never felt more important. My name is Sarah Wishart, and I'm a filmmaker, and writer. I’ve also worked for a very long time in the education and charity sector in the UK. Most recently, I've been working on co-production film projects, where affected communities are the people to talk about the issues that impact them. I've talked to a lot of people over the last few years about ideas around connection, co-production and change. And I wanted to start capturing some of those conversations in this podcast. This is that podcast and it’s called The Assembling. I'll be talking to a range of people around their thoughts and experience of change making, community (temporary or otherwise), of the importance of connection, basically, about the moments of coming together around events like friendship, protest, activism, or even death. For a pilot episode, I talked to the incredible Martha Awojobi. Martha is CEO of JMB Consultancy, and curator of #BAMEOnline, they dream of a world free of oppression, and are working towards that true alongside the incredible collaborators from all over the world. We started off talking about Martha’s anti-racism work in the charity sector in UK but ended up bouncing off a lot of ideas including thinking about activism as radical love, romance and friendship and issues of consent in the idea of community.
