Manchester Animation Festival

WIA is a non-profit organisation that empowers and advocates for people in the art, technology, production, and business of animation, inspiring excellence and justice in all facets of the industry. WIA UK is a newly formed community of WIA Global, and as a UK-based community, we are focused on supporting and uplifting people of underrepresented gender identities within the UK animation industry.

Community is at the heart of WIA UK. We believe that lasting change comes from genuine connections and mutual support. We will work to understand the realities that women and people of marginalised genders are facing in the UK animation industry and find out how we can support them not only to survive but to thrive.

If you’re a woman or non-binary person in animation, join Hannah Lau Walker and Amy Ashton, some of the women behind WIA UK for a networking event where you can catch up with friends or meet new people, chat about what it’s like out there in the industry right now and find out how the UK chapter of WIA can help.

No tickets are required for this meet-up just head to the event space!
