Giles Agis, executive director, Brouhaha International
Tell us a bit about your job? A lot of my time is spent meeting with people locally, across the UK and abroad, developing great new art projects that bring young people, communities and artists together. Then I have to go about finding all the funding.
What inspires you? The determination of artists, performers and those people in the community who make things happen. Secondly, my two sons who are growing up knowing and meeting so many inspirational people from around the world.
When were you last moved by culture? I was walking down Bold Street and came across a busker, a young women called Chi. I was with my 5-year-old son who said “she sings nice”. Chi will now be appearing on the acoustic stage on the July14 World in Princes Park Festival.
What show/event/exhibition are you most looking forward to in the next 12 months? Liverpool International carnival and World in Princes Park Festival of course.
Where do you see yourself in five years’ time? I must go and get a lottery ticket.
What makes you laugh? My children’s observations. Recently I overhead my two sons talking about a work colleague of my wife who had tragically and suddenly passed away. “Today was sad wasn’t it? Did you cry? A little bit but he is an angel now, you know, we just need to move on”.
What gets you angry? Ignorance.
