This is the first in my new Meet a Creator series, published especially for Stored Honey’s paid subscribers, which delves deeply into the work and values of individual artists, actors, musicians, curators, producers, writers and other creatives. This time, we’re meeting Alok Nayak, CEO and artistic director of Liverpool-based Indian arts and culture organisation Milap, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

I was particularly inspired by what he has to say about honouring tradition while inventing the future, and about Liverpool’s openness and creative energy.
