Unathi writes about the cultural and creative industries from the perspective of someone who has worked across law, rights, policy, advocacy, institutional leadership, broadcasting, production, public bodies, professional organisations and artistic practice.

The writing ranges across the questions that shape how creative work is made, protected, financed, governed, supported and sustained: copyright and performers’ rights; contracts and ownership; public policy and regulation; funding and incentives; institutional accountability; sector organisation; leadership; professional practice; access and participation; and the relationship between creative work, society and public life.

Some pieces respond to immediate developments. Others examine structural questions that remain relevant long after a particular controversy, policy process or public debate has passed.

Ideas need a home that is more durable than a social-media timeline. The website serves as a curated index to that body of work. Full articles are published on Substack, where readers can follow new writing and subscribe directly.
