Anupa Mistry

I talk on TV and Radio (Much Music, MTV, CBC’s The Current, Q and Radio 1 news service) and host a monthly radio show on the Toronto Radio Project. Last summer I curated a three-part networking series for young creatives in Toronto called #HustleHard, to facilitate collaboration across scenes and allow people to share their ideas about the cultural economy in Toronto. I am also a juror for the Polaris Music Prize and participate in tons of other readings, panels and talks, when asked. Also, I do all of this and hold down an unrelated day job because I am a boss.

Sarinah Masukor

I’m an Australian woman of colour working in arts journalism – a space that’s extremely white in this country. I haven’t traditionally written about race because the pigeonholing of writers of colour into only covering obviously racial issues pisses me off but the desire for a more diverse media influences the way I approach my work. And my own experiences as a brown (and mixed race) woman in a white society colours (haha) the way I watch films and respond to exhibitions. I hold a PhD in Film and Television from Monash University and have written for some stellar publications and outlets including the ABC, SBS and Metro Magazine.
