What the Hat?! Live podcast
Friday 13 November 2026
Join us for the next episode of What The Hat?!
Join the Young People’s Collective (YPC) for a live podcast exploring transformation and the role of inspiration in design. Hear from the designers commissioned by YPC to create the new billboard posters for Upstart 2026 as they discuss their creative process, values, perspectives and the inspirations behind their work.
In this series, invited guests share their tactics, strategies, hopes and dreams while reflecting on the many hats we choose to wear, and those we must, as creatives navigating overlapping political, social, economic and climate crises. Together, they explore how artistic and cultural practices can respond to the urgent challenges of our time.
Future episodes will continue to spotlight Dundee's emerging artists, designers, curators, activists and organisers who keep the city's grassroots creative scene alive.
This event will be recorded.
As part of our Upstart: Creative Careers Festival, take a look at the full programme here.
