Iona Gaskell

About

I’m a creative director, communications strategist, community builder and facilitator working at the intersection of culture, research and social impact. Based between London and Edinburgh, my practice spans philanthropy, academia, arts organisations and mission-led businesses. My interests are wide-ranging and my commitment to them runs deep.

I’m particularly interested in: community-based models of mental health care; ensuring artists are paid fairly for their work; redistributing narrative authority to marginalised communities; equitable and decolonial funding practices; using art, music, storytelling and community activation to amplify the real-world impact of research; work that holds rigour, ambition, creativity and compassion in equal measure.

My email is always open, especially to curious souls, open minds and difficult-to-categorise folk. Say hi: hello [at] ionagaskell [dot] com
