The ANC will remain in government after the elections, said the party's secretary-general Fikile Mbalula just before another mic-snatching drama transpired after the singing of Wenzeni uZuma. “The ANC governs and I can tell you when we wake up on May 30 the ANC will still be government” he said in KwaZulu-Natal. He was delivering a keynote address at the party's arts and culture sub-committee engagement with the creative industry which promised to deal with the exploitation of artists. After Mbalula delivered his address it was time for a song, but the one sang was not the kind members liked.  “Wenzeni uZuma?” (what has Zuma done?) sang an ANC supporter on stage, but his singing barely lasted 10 seconds before Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa president Joy Mbewana seized the microphone and sang another song.  Wenzeni uZuma, is often sang by former president Jacob Zuma's loyalists to annoy his political enemies. ANC MP and programme director at the event Thandi Moraka said disruptions would not be tolerated.  The first microphone-grabbing drama happened this weekend in KwaZulu-Natal in the presence of Zulu King Misuzulu KaZwelithini and President Cyril Ramaphosa. ANC provincial chair Siboniso Duma snatched the microphone from Zulu traditional prime minister Thulasizwe Buthelezi, who was about to introduce the king. He had criticised the provincial government's treatment of King Misuzulu. Support for the ANC has been declining since the 2009 elections. A further decline is expected in this year's elections.

From fellow Kamogelo Tinyiko Theledi comes this episode on arts funding and corruption in South Africa. Kamo speaks with multiple guests about South Africa's Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture, a group that announced a relief fund of 150 million rand ($8.3 million) for artists, athletes, and others in these industries. Most of the money, however, was never shared with these workers. In September 2022, the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa (CCIFSA) opened a case against the National Arts Council, alleging corruption, money laundering, and mismanagement of funds. Kamo speaks to Bongani Mahlangu, a journalist and socio-political commentator, and Jack Devnarain, an award winning South African actor and chairman of the South African Guild of Actors (SAGA). They provide important context around the plight of artists and performers after the pandemic and the effects of corruption on their livelihoods. Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, ufahamuafrica.com.

As regular listeners will know, every once in a while I break free of Material Matters’ self-imposed format and meet someone with an overview of the design world. And in this episode, I’m delighted to chat with Sir John Sorrell CBE. It’s a question really of where to start with John’s career (but here goes). He was chair of the Design Council from 1994-2000; chair of CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment) from 2004-2009; vice-president of the Chartered Society of Designers from 1989-1992; and chairman of the Design Business Association from 1990-1992. In 2014, he founded the Creative Industries Federation, stepping down as chair in 2017. Not content with any of that, he co-founded the London Design Festival in 2003, as well as the London Design Biennale in 2016 – both with Ben Evans. Perhaps most importantly, in 1999 he co-founded The Sorrell Foundation with his wife Frances, which has the aim of inspiring creativity in young people and improving lives with good design. Subsequently, they co-founded The Saturday Club Trust, which offers young people the opportunity to study subjects such as art and design at a university for free on a Saturday. And I haven’t even mentioned Newell & Sorrell, the pioneering design business he set up with Frances in 1976. This, I guess, is a long way of saying that he has been one of the most influential figures in British design for well over four decades. In this episode we talk about: adapting to the pandemic; bringing 400 trees to Somerset House for this year's London Design Biennale; creating the London Design Festival and why it took a while to find its feet; being born during an air raid in 1945 and growing up on a north London council estate; how going to a Saturday art club changed his life; starting his career in the sixties; his extraordinary marriage to Frances; Margaret Thatcher’s handkerchief and a wildly controversial project for British Airways; the importance of the Sorrell Foundation; and creating a new generation of leaders for the design world. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/materialmatters?fan_landing=true)

I’m delighted to welcome you to our the first of our two special podcast episodes which accompanies our Defining Success report. For this first podcast we tackle a tricky subject for creatives: money. In search of expert guidance around what makes a creative venture attractive to financial investors and how we should plan for our personal financial future, Jodi Muter-Hamilton speaks to three incredible women for this podcast: Mehjabeen Patrick, chief financial and investment officer at Creative England and Creative Industries Federation Anna Sofat, associate director of wealth at Progeny Lottie Leefe, founder and director of DURA Private and The Dura Society Mehjabeen Patrick is responsible for the implementation and running of all operating functions across Creative England and Creative Industries Federation. With extensive experience as a finance director, Mehjabeen oversees all investment activity for the company and has a keen interest in growing its commercial activities and diversifying its income stream. Previously Mehjabeen worked as Director of Finance for the United Nations Association and Stakeholder Forum. Often referred to as “the voice of women’s wealth”, Anna Sofat, has been helping women invest their money for decades. Anna has changed the culture of wealth; by empowering women through advice & investment. As the pioneering founder of Addidi and now associate director of wealth at Progeny, we learn from Anna how to find your financial number. A number which creates a comfort point, been where what you need and want is sufficient. Lottie Leefe is a qualified wealth planner that advises UHNW/HNW individuals, as well as Next-Gen wealth, on their global assets and investments including art, real estate, wine, luxury goods and philanthropy. Lottie Leefe, who is the founder of DURA Private, a private client wealth consultancy, and founder of financial wellbeing platform The Dura Society. Both of which champion another kind of wealth. Each of these women has caved a path that is individual to them, but also one that supports others to gain an understanding of the many different ways in which we can create a more financially secure future for ourselves, our businesses and future generations. As creatives, we tend to leave money matters at the bottom of the to-do list. Maybe that’s because to us creativity comes first and financial reward second. Or perhaps it’s because throughout our lives we have not been taught how to manage our personal and business finances. However, we have the ability to gain knowledge and meet money matters head-on. “After all, as the saying goes, if you fail to plan, plan to fail.” Benjamin Franklin. This podcast is part of our Defining Success report and two accompanying podcasts. In our second Defining Success podcast we explore the less tangible subject of how to recognise and nurture creative potential with Sara Maino, head of Vogue Talents, deputy director of Vogue Italia and international brand ambassador at Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by John Kampfner, the author of "Why the Germans Do It Better", to discuss how Germany and the EU have botched their respective rollouts of the coronavirus vaccine compared to the UK which has dramatically turned the tables on their bitter struggle against the novel virus. As a rule however, John is convinced that Germany has a more grown up political culture than the UK and that over the last 75 years has been able to progress as a nation from it's low point in the immediate aftermath of World War II to a position today where Germany stands out as a world-leading economy. John has had a 25-year career in international public life – spanning media, global affairs, UK politics, education, business, arts and the third sector. He began his journalistic career as a foreign correspondent with the Daily Telegraph, first in East Berlin where he reported on the fall of the Wall and unification of Germany, and then in Moscow at the time of the collapse of Soviet Communism.

He has made a number of programmes for BBC Radio 4 and World Service. He frequently appears on the BBC and Sky and has a weekly slot on Times Radio. His new book, Why the Germans Do It Better, published by Atlantic, is his sixth.

He is a Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute. John established the Creative Industries Federation to much acclaim in 2014, providing a single voice for the UK's creative sector. For eight years he was founder Chair of Turner Contemporary, one of the country’s most successful art galleries. He is now Chair of the House of Illustration.

Marine Tanguy got one of her first tastes of art gallery management when she was just 21 years old, but she didn't like what she saw. She felt the traditional gallery model was "elitist" and didn't allow for works from all demographics. And so, she decided to change this by opening MTArt in 2015. It's an agency for up-and-coming artists, helping them pay for studios, showcase their work through public art installations, virtual galleries and commercial partnerships and find buyers. Young artists appear to like the idea: MTArt says that it reviews 200 portfolios every month in order to find the most innovative young talent. In June 2015, Tanguy founded MTArt Agency. Tanguy has stated she founded the company to provide a better supporting structure for artists outside the traditional gallery model. MTArt covers their artists’ studio costs, sells their works, implement cultural & commercial partnerships and offers their artists press exposure. In return, MTArt Agency gains commission on each piece the artist sells, and artists give one piece of art to the agency’s private collection each year. The agency reviews 200 portfolios of up-and-coming artists every month, with the value of the selected artists’ works growing on average 150% in value year-on-year. MTArt Agency currently has offices in London and Paris. Artists that are currently managed by MTArt Agency include French biodegradable mural artist Saype, French AI collective Obvious, David Aiu Servan Schreiber, Delphine Diallo, Amber Vittoria, Claire Luxton, Dejha Ti & Ania Catherine, Elisa Insua, Lauren Baker, Léo Caillard, Tiffany Bouelle, Leno Dothan, Jennifer Abessira, Ben Cullen Williams, Jesu Moratiel, Ugur Gallenkus, Andreas Tyrimos and Asiko. As well as their investment in artists, MTArt Agency has also partnered with household brands including Aston Martin, Christie's, Chloé, the Mayor of London, Network Rail, the Louvre and the City of Paris on special projects. Tanguy is a member of the Thousand Network, the Creative Industries Federation, The Association of Women Art Dealers and The Association of Women in the Arts. Tanguy also serves as a young patron of the V&A Museum and has been appointed Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Tanguy has delivered two TedX talks; on how to transform cities with art (2017), and on how social media visuals affects our minds (2018). In 2018 Tanguy was a recipient of Forbes 30 under 30 Europe: Art and Culture. In 2019 Tanguy was announced as the face of a new campaign for French luxury fashion house Chloe Tanguy has been commissioned to write a book on The Visual Diet, due for publication in 2020. The Visual Diet campaign explores the themes of replacing typical social media visual consumption with enriched visual art content.

How serious is coronavirus for the survival for the performing arts long term? As a government inquiry begins this week, it’s expected that the performing arts that serve an audience in a confined space, such as theatre, music and dance, will take the longest to return to normal, and even then some of the damage may be irreversible. Caroline Norbury, chief executive of the Creative Industries Federation, Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Incorporated Society of Musicians and Julian Bird, chief executive of UK Theatre and the Society of London Theatre, discuss the ramifications of the current crisis on the performing arts. The Night Watch is arguably Rembrandt’s most famous painting. The imposing canvas from 1642, is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and has been undergoing a major restoration since July last year, but work is currently on hold because of the lockdown. The museum recently posted online a ‘hyper-resolution’ photograph of the masterpiece, allowing the viewer unprecedented access to the painting’s finest details. Historian Simon Schama discusses what the image reveals about the painting and the artist. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Hannah Robins

It was a call from Dame Esther Rantzen for choirmaster Gareth Malone to bring the nation together under his metaphorical baton that has inspired Gareth’s latest choral idea – The Great British Home Chorus. He talks to Katie about the challenge of creating a virtual choir from amateurs and professionals at a time when we are all being told to keep our distance from each other. The contralto voice used to have a regular presence on opera, recital, and choral stages across this country but in recent decades there seems to be have been a concerted effort to excise this particular voice category with singers, directors, agents, and teachers all turning away from the deep tones this voice can provide in favour of higher and brighter voices. Music critic and writer Jessica Duchen, and founder-director of the Kinder Choirs of the High Peak and a former professional contralto Joyce Ellis, discuss why contraltos have been frozen out and whether it’s time they came in from the cold. The Creative Industries Federation are calling for a Temporary Income Protection Fund for the many hundreds of thousands of freelancers in the creative sector who have seen their contracted work vanish overnight in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis. CEO Caroline Norbury discusses why her organisation wants the government to act now.

Music education in the United Kingdom is facing budget cuts. The British music industry has raised concerns about how reduced funding for music education in UK state schools hinders aspiring musicians from pursuing their talents. This hindrance poses a threat to the growth of potential artists. The issue has become alarming that it triggered a reaction from renowned singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. The artist voiced his thoughts about the issue on social media. He mentioned that he, along with other artists, gained a lot from state school music education. Sheeran also pointed out that continuous budget cuts would harm one of Britain's major exports—music. One of the factors that contributed to the budget cuts on music education was the implementation of the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) in the United Kingdom. Introduced in 2010, EBacc is a compilation of subjects that the government perceives to be relevant to young students. This list of courses includes core subjects like math and science and excludes creative subjects like music. According to the University of Sussex [SUHS-iks], the introduction of EBacc negatively affected music education in 59.7% of state schools in terms of provision of music and number of registrations. Apart from music, other creative subjects like art, drama, and design are also subject to budget cuts. John Kampfner, the former CEO of the Creative Industries Federation, shared that some schools reported that creative subjects are perceived as easier alternatives to core subjects. Despite this perception, Kampfner believes that these subjects should be prioritized because they produce artists who contribute to the development of the growing music industry.
