About
A conversation about community, care, and what support really looks like.
What happens when the systems meant to support us fall short — and who steps in to fill the gap? What does it mean to actually feel held by a community?
Join us for an honest, open conversation exploring lived experience, local services, and the role of community in shaping who we become. Featuring artist, author and mental health advocate Jordan Stephens, alongside voices from Brighton's creative community — this isn't a panel you watch. It's one you're part of.
Jordan Stephens — artist, author, mental health advocate
Bobby Brown — Creative Communities Producer, Lighthouse
Kaia Allen-Bevan — FCL cohort & founder, Youth The Gap
After the panel, the room breaks into smaller conversations — facilitated by young people from the Future Creative Leaders programme. Bring your questions, your stories, and your truth.
Part of Lighthouse Future Creative Leaders (FCL), We, Generate programme for Brighton Festival 2026. Featuring live events, conversations, and a youth takeover, it’s a space for experimentation and community.
