Watch a New Film Celebrating Ten Years of MAYK
This year marks MAYK’s tenth anniversary.
To celebrate, we worked with our long-term collaborator and friend Dan Canham to create this film looking back on ten fantastic years and ahead to the next chapter.
With huge thanks to all of the artists, teams, supporters, and funders with whom we've collaborated over the past decade. Here's to the future.
Directors: Kate Yedigaroff and Matthew Austin
MAYK is supported using public funding by Arts Council England and is a Bristol City Council Cultural Investment Partner.
