FOR MEDIA & ARTS PROFESSIONALS

Underpinning MAP's work is a robust network of established media and arts professionals who are from or work in places where freedoms of expression are limited, creativity is under threat, and hate speech pervades. We serve as a talent agency to get you in front of audiences, viewers, and listeners, and support your professional advancement.
