How do identity and creativity intersect? Actor Zawe Ashton and broadcaster Gemma Cairney are two friends with celebrated careers in the arts, but how do their many selves coexist in their unique creative lives?

Join them for a frank and open discussion – touching on race, gender and new motherhood – about the impact this has on their work and artistic lives in an industry that often doesn’t feel built for the complex intersections of so many artists.
