International Women’s Day 2022

Basement Animation Studio celebrated International Women’s Day 2022 by hosting its annual panel discussion, focusing on ‘Advancing Women Creatives in Animation.’ Esteemed panellists included Esther Kemi Gbadamosi, Founder/Media Consultant at Radioxity Media; Omoyefe Majoroh, 3D Generalist/Filmmaker; and Ukpeme Uwakwe, Partner/Head of Development at Basement Animation.

The discussions were deeply engaging, centering on uplifting and inspiring women to pursue their ambitions unhindered by bias or barriers.
