Our Vision, Mission & Values
Vision
the change we want to see within society and this world, what we aspire to be/achieve
Inspirate exists to ensure that inclusion, diversity and equity is authentically happening within the world we live in.
We actively work towards a society where care, freedom of expression, realisation of ambition and opportunity is available to all.
Mission
what are we doing now to achieve our vision
We do this vital work through nurturing and platforming the evolution of contemporary South Asian arts, ensuring that South Asian artistry and talent is an integral and valued part of the arts and heritage sector, woven into the fabric of UK culture and the creative economy.
​
Through exploring the intertwined culture of South Asia and the UK, we examine the ever shifting dialogue between heritage, roots, migration and intersecting identities.
​
At the heart of our work is the creative alchemy, artistic richness and critical thinking that the diasporic experience inspires within artists and communities.
Our work is both a celebration of diverse arts and culture, and a provocation for reflective thinking, open conversation and action.
​
Through sharing and developing our work locally, nationally and internationally, we create spaces for people across different communities to come together for collective cultural experiences.
Our Values
Authenticity
We deeply respect people’s identity and lived experiences, ensuring that everyone we work with feels valued, safe and listened to.
Innovation
We work with a sense of possibility, fluidity and curiosity, developing creative spaces within which we can push boundaries, challenge thinking, take risks, question and experiment.
Collaboration
We profoundly believe in the power of community, teamwork and collective action. We develop genuine partnerships which thrive on trust, honesty and shared exploration.
Ambition
We continually aspire to create high quality and meaningful cultural experiences that contribute towards positive social change within our local, national and global communities.
