Create in Real Life

About Create in Real Life

Founded by Frances Kehinde, Create IRL is centred around curating intriguing experiences that reflect and empower black creatives in particular - for dreamers, shapers, makers, and thinkers – to collaborate together and create more in real life. Since 2021 we have launched 4 sold out events for 1200+ guests. Our archives include the Black Joy experience, the Black legacy experience (two part series) the Black Diaspora Experience and the Black Gaze experience in collaboration with mainstream institutions such as The National Gallery. Create IRL experiences are designed to inspire black people to see themselves as creative regardless of their background, to introduce them to new artists and art and to stimulate conversation and connection, and always providing an opportunity to learn something new. We have a proven track record of collaborating with up and coming as well as established black artists such as Cece Phillips, award winning designers such as Butler Archive, playwrights such as Inua Ellams, film directors such as Julian Knxx, and critically acclaimed poets such as Yomi Sode. and much more. Our goal is for Create IRL to be the cultural educational centre for all burgeoning creatives across the Arts, - art & design, literature, music, theatre and film. We see the need to nurture black talent within the creative industries not just at a grass root level but also on an institutional level.
