At the heart of
Open To Change is a special initiative led by Samuel Ross, the visionary founder of A-Cold-Wall*. Ross has curated a programme of roundtable sessions to run over the next year, which will tackle the urgent question of how to push for change in the creative industries.
This launches with
Manifesto For Change, a film starring Ross and shot by the emerging film-maker, photographer, and artist Gabriel Moses. It opens with a clear statement of intent from Ross: “Life is about precision. You have to be sharp, you have to be precise. It’s about focus.”
“What do I see today?” he continues. “I see the need for critical thinking, for continuity, access and entrepreneurship. I see new pathways for creativity, new archetypes, and new frontiers. I see barriers ready to be broken by young people who want to make a difference. So if you’re asking me what change looks like, open your eyes.”
