Fenner Paper is pleased to again be one of the sponsors of the annual St Bride conference which is being held this year on Saturday 18th October.
“Doing the work” is more than a phrase – it’s a call to action. In recent years, it has come to embody the responsibility we all share to educate ourselves, to challenge inequality, and to act with intention in building a more just society. For marginalised creatives, however, “doing the work” has always meant something more. It is the ongoing labour of breaking barriers, of creating work that is both excellent and deeply authentic, of carving out space in an industry that too often resists change.
Doing the Work at St Bride Foundation is a participatory conference dedicated to recognising and amplifying those voices. Through talks, discussions, and a collaborative workshop, we will:
• Celebrate the creative brilliance of marginalised designers.
• Confront the realities of racism and exclusion in the design industry.
• Explore pathways to build an inclusive, equitable future for all.
The day will culminate in a collective act of creation: together with our facilitators and speakers, participants will workshop ideas into a shared manifesto. Printed at St Bride Foundation’s letterpress workshop at a later date, this manifesto will stand as a permanent record of our conversations and commitments – a tool for creatives and organisations to adopt, promote, and live by.
This is an invitation to listen, to reflect, to act – and to do the work, together.
Speakers:
Carolyne Hill, Harkiran Kalsi, Kingsley Nebechi, Ricardo Eversely, Jodi Hunt.
Panel discussion facilitated by The Unimistakables
Event curated by Greg Bunbury
Conference illustrator: Lana Lê
