Venu brings a wealth of experience to the Commonwealth Day Observance. She has worked with a number of high profile organisations in the field of arts and culture (the British Council, South Bank and Nesta to name a few). She is an activist and says she works "with organisations that aspire to be vision-led and have an ambition to achieve or accelerate change and renewal". Venu also works as a consultant where the arts meet politics and social change.
