Our collective isolation highlights that all forms of community are now more important than ever. Established by Anne Duffau, Hana Noorali and Tai Shani, this new online platform will commission artists, writers and thinkers to share their work online.

TRANSMISSIONS has been set up to provide a platform to pay artists at a time when many have had exhibitions, opportunities and subsequent fees cancelled.

The first episode will be curated by Anne Duffau, Tai Shani and Hana Noorali. The subsequent five episodes will be hosted by invited artists. Each artist included in TRANSMISSIONS will be paid a fee in return for their contribution. With a sense of community, all the money used to pay artists in season 1 has been kindly donated by established UK art institutions and commercially stable artists. 

Season 1 of TRANSMISSIONS will run as six weekly episodes screening every Thursday at 21.00 and repeated on Fridays at 09.00 on Twitch.

Season 1 is funded and supported by, ArtQuest+DACS, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Oscar Murillo Studio Somerset House Studios and Wysing Arts Centre.

Programmers and founders: Hana Noorali, Anne Duffau and Tai Shani
Producer: Lori E. Allen
