Beyond Face CIC is a company based in Devon whose mission is to raise the profile and visibility of artists who are: African Diaspora people, South, East, and South East Asian diaspora people.* The Company engages with professionals, early career artists and young people, who through this work will engage with the wider community. We create high quality professional performances, as well as delivering projects bespoke to the South West. The company was founded in 2015 by Artistic Director Alix Harris who, after working in Plymouth and running a series of consultation workshops with young people, recognised the need for a company such as Beyond Face to exist in Devon & the South West. Over the past 4 years the Company’s reputation has grown and with this there has been an increase in demand for collaboration across partnership working, project delivery and commissioning of artistic activity. The Company is now at a stage of growth, looking to expand the team to sustain activity and increase impact. *We recognise that language is always evolving and as a Company we will evolve with the conversation.
