- We create community within and across borders
- We think big, unafraid of new ideas.
What we do
Oxygen Arts: The creative production agency
We are a creative agency that works with charities and public sector organisations in the UK and Europe and specialises in targeting and working with diverse communities. We are a multi discipline cultural producer that curates compelling film, photography and live performance events and publications. Current projects include Black British Ballet, Liberation Day, a short film about an imagined post Covid society and Two and a Half Questions, our Windrush themed film created with young people.
What we also do
Oxygen Arts: Our work with young people
We deliver a comprehensive programme of arts training to young people of the global majority in the UK and abroad. This includes training in digital media, creative writing, cultural theory and visual arts programmes to young people aged 13 and over. We work across London and we’re also supporting charity partners in Grenada with looked after children and young people.
Film production
We create essential, relevant documentary and narrative films that represent a range of stories and histories from people of the global majority, in partnership with the young people that we train.
Meet the team
We are a diverse team with a wealth of experience in the creative arts, supporting young people's creativity and wellbeing, and producing art that reflects the experiences of people across the Black Atlantic.
Partners
Partnership working is at the heart of our approach to creating art that matters. We work with traditionally excluded young people and a range of partners to response creatively to the challenges they face.
