![]() ![]() ![]() When you think about WePresent in 10 years’ time, what comes to mind? In 10 years’ time we will have featured artists from every single country in the world and will still be pushing the boundaries of creative storytelling. Our head of music, Tiff Yu, is based in Los Angeles, so we also try to do one team trip a year, where Tiff comes to Europe or the rest of the team heads Stateside. That can involve going to exhibitions, screenings or talks, and always dinner and a few drinks afterwards. When the team is in need of a bit of fun or inspiration, what do you do? It has obviously been harder during the pandemic, but whenever possible we get together as a team to celebrate successful project launches. This can include freelance help, from production to event coordination. Beyond features, we tend to work with freelancers on specific projects and big commissions. What kinds of projects do you work with freelancers for? We work with freelancers constantly – writers, photographers, illustrators and artists are integral to the stories we publish. I f we’re on the WePresent Instagram, what’s one thing we shouldn’t miss? Every Friday we commission an illustrator to create an original work just for Instagram: Have a look here.

It was launched with an original story by Bernardine Evaristo and since then we’ve worked with Raven Smith, Jarvis Cocker and Oyinkan Braithwaite among others.įinally, the last year has seen us work with a number of hugely inspiring art institutions too. It’s a beautifully designed series of short stories that is slowly turning into our own WePresent library. In 2020 we also launched our literature series called Literally, led by our story editor Liv Siddall. ![]()
