Transcript:"Why are all the arts leaders white?""Well…""Do I think that being a white man makes either getting my job, or some of the parts of my job, easier? Absolutely." (Lorne Campbell, National Theatre Wales)"I think it was simply a lack of awareness, "from my point of view, of the need to connect with those artists and the need to get those artists on to our stages." (Joe Murphy, Sherman Theatre)"I hope - I believe - that that’s not the way that I function; but I am in a moment, of course, where I’m challenging all of those things about myself." (Tamara Harvey, Theatr Clwyd)"Everyone was making the same sort of statement, and it was a conscious decision not to follow the path of everybody else." (Aidan Lang, Welsh National Opera)"Fi’n llawer iawn mwy ymwybodol o’r breintiau rheina sydd gandda i, er bod fi ddim yn falch - dw i ddim yn falch bo’ fi’n ddyn, dw i ddim yn falch bo’ fi’n wyn." (I’m a lot more more aware of the privileges that I have, even though I’m not proud - I’m not proud that I’m a man, I’m not proud that I’m white.)(Arwel Gruffydd, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru)"I don’t think we built enough trust historically anyway - I don’t think we lost it at any stage, I just think that we hadn’t built it enough." (Graeme Farrow, Wales Millennium Centre)Difficult conversations about white privilege and systemic racism in Wales. This is the Critically Speaking podcast, Season Two.
