Who decides when an artist is emerging or established? When does your development end? And should you even let people label you in the first place?

In this episode we're discussing all of this and more as we explore "How Do You Shake Off the Emerging Label?"; recorded LIVE, hosted by activist and artist, Bethany Slinn. We're joined by Sebbie Mudhai (founder of YAP Collective), Shirley May (founder of Young Identity), Chloe Deakin (filmmaker, founder of Herculean Visuals), Ben Norris (actor, poet) and Catherine Butler (creative producer, theatre maker).

We want to hear you join the conversation, please leave your thoughts, opinions and feedback in the comments, ratings and at https://www.beatfreeks.com/blabpodcast
