In June 2020 we were joined by chair Tanya J Scott and a panel of professional animation and VFX creatives Bimpe Alliu, Mel Garber, Rita Sampaio and Rizwan Rafiq for an online panel, as they discussed their experiences of inclusion in animation both on- and off-screen, current diversity initiatives, and how we work towards a fairer and more inclusive workplace. The event was supported by the ScreenSkills Animation Skills Fund with contributions from UK animation productions, and University of the the West of England.

 

The event was full of helpful takeaways and advice for studios and those working in the animation industry. You can read more below, and follow Visible Visuals to continue the conversation.
