“As a fully independent artist who also publishes all her own work, I have little by way of a support network. Oram Awards recognition provides a boost that is needed to help move my creative practice forward.” - سارة بدر, 2022 Oram Awards Winner

“The Oram Awards carved out a space for us, a home; I can’t wait to see what happens next as I sit alongside a cohort of women who colour outside the box undefined by convention.”
Lula Mebrahtu aka Lula.xyz, 2022 Oram Awards Winner

'The mentorship will help me to engage a larger community of composers, researchers, activists & artists with my most recent collaborative practice. Being part of the Oram Awardee community will help me formalise my experimental research.'
Lia Mazzari, 2022 Oram Awards Winner

“Winning The Oram Awards is something that I never imagined. I play music without planning to win anything except to find my freedom as a woman to learn, explore, and express through music that most people think it’s unnecessary.'
Rani Fitriana Jambak, 2022 Oram Awards Winner

'I take a social model approach, looking at process as much as the technology itself. I hope that this way of working enables artists and organisations to find new ways of working inclusively with disabled artists.'
