“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”

― Toni Cade Bambara.

Hello, hi, yo, what you sayin',

My name is Tobi Kyeremateng, or Tobes if we're mates. I am a freelance award-winning cultural producer and social entrepreneur with a focus on creating rich cultural experiences and sustainable social change through film, live public events and community-led programmes.

Recent credits include: My White Best Friend (and Other Letters Left Unsaid) by Rachel De-Lahay and Milli Bhatia (Royal Court Theatre), The Future Is Near (Tate Modern), Sonic Transmissions Series (Roundhouse & The Institute of Contemporary Art), J'Ouvert by Yasmin Joseph (Theatre503), International Women's Weekender (gal-dem), BABYLON Festival (Bush Theatre), AFRO-CITY Festival (Roundhouse), Pagans (Old Vic Theatre). Film credits include: Wishbone (NOWNESS, 2020 International Shorts at Screen Dance International Festival) and Secret Life of Gs by Caleb Femi, and Roots For A Crown (NOWNESS, 180 The Strand: Prada Mode) and In Praise Of Still Boys (FACT Magazine, The Vinyl Factory, 180 The Strand) by Julianknxx.

With 9 years’ experience in cultural production, strategy, consultancy and project management, I have worked with organisations such as AFROPUNK, Goldsmiths University, Nike, Oxford University and Samsung, and have won several awards including: ‘Inspiration of the Year’ (Stylist Magazine’s inaugural Remarkable Women Awards 2019), ‘Best Producer’ (inaugural Black British Theatre Awards 2019), the ‘Arts & Culture’ Award (Women Of The Future Awards 2019) and 'Special Award: Producer' (Off West-End Theatre Awards 2020).

I am currently the Creative Civic Producer at Brixton House (formerly known as Ovalhouse) project managing Let’s Build - an offsite community project working with twenty Brixton-based primary school children and architects MATT+FIONA to co-design and self-build a temporary community space in Brixton.

I am one of 25 civic leaders selected as part of the first Civic Futures Programme in partnership with the Greater London Authority. I am the founder of award-winning initiative Black Ticket Project, a company creating cultural access points for Black young people, and am currently writing my debut non-fiction book, ‘THEATRE SH*T’, to be published by Jacaranda Books in 2021.

I am a Senior Artistic Associate at the Bush Theatre, Board Trustee for Peckham Platform and the Diversity School Initiative and mentor for Sour Lemons.
