The Southbank Centre and Counterpoints Arts invite you to submit your work to be screened or performed during a supportive artistic group session at 7pm – 10pm on Sunday 22 March 2026. Sign up to present your work (or work in progress) and engage in discussions with a room full of like-minded artistic experimenters. All artists selected to present will receive £150 to cover their time and expenses..

As part of the session, after the performances the artists and audience will discuss any shared or contrasting themes and talk about craft. There are also opportunities for networking and gaining industry advice.

Counterpoints Arts also have a capacity to support artists from the global majority with advice on project development, fundraising, and networking. Contact at Counterpoints is Dijana Rakovic, Senior Producer dijana@counterpoints.org.uk

Applications to present work are open to artists aged over 18 from a global majority background (or tackling the subjects of diaspora and migration), whether you’re a writer, musician, dancer, filmmaker, designer or anything in between.

Please submit your application by 11.59pm on Wednesday 25 February. Six artists will be selected to share their work. This selection will be curated by Awate. If your work is not selected we’d still love you to come as an audience member to give feedback and share ideas.
