What Happens When The Degree Show’s Over? Ellen Wilkinson speaks to emerging artists who have benefited from schemes in Bristol, Wakefield and London that, by subsidising studio space and providing bursaries and professional development opportunities, support early-career artists to take their next steps.

London-based artist Larry Achiampong uses film, sculpture and performance to create work that draws on his own Ghanaian heritage, colonial history, and his experience of growing up in Britain. Here Achiampong discusses the cultural and class-based issues he experienced in education, the impact of his degree on his current practice, and how his education has also influenced how he approaches teaching.
