The Influencers 11 Add to collection AIVA managing director Eva McCloskey argues that honouring the industry’s best talent is a particular imperative after a year of Covid “Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. … Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. … Come on you raver, you seer of visions. Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine.” It was impossible to listen to recent SXSW sessions and not be inspired by the creativity unleashed during Covid and all that’s to come as we enter what is hopefully the last leg of this pandemic.
