André Anderson is the Headmaster of Freedom & Balance: the art college for the artist in everyone. Freedom & Balance helps communities create new knowledge about themselves and their world through art and storytelling.

André mainly focuses on democratising creative thinking in order to fully realise its potential in society, building educational frameworks that help exercise the creativity, leadership and self-awareness in those who would never call themselves artists, but innately are. One of his recent examples, ‘Authors of the Estate’ is a curriculum that explores the question “how do you turn council houses into publishing houses?” The end result was a 200-page book, written, published and distributed by Chalkhill Estate, in North West London.

Anu Henriques is the founder and co-director of Skin Deep, a femme-led arts collective that makes space for Black creatives and creatives of colour to work towards justice through cultural production.

Anu works across all areas of the organisation: print magazines, online storytelling and live events. She is currently developing Skin Deep’s upcoming collaborative documentary on environmental justice in the UK. Alongside her work at Skin Deep, she works in development and production at Fable Pictures (Wild Rose, Stan & Ollie, Rocks). As Associate Director of Rocks (2020), a collaborative film about the joy of sisterhood, Anu worked alongside director Sarah Gavron, co-writers Theresa Ikoko and Claire Wilson, the cast and creative team.
