We have a special episode of The Pieces this week as Bimini takes us behind the scenes of the MullenLowe NOVA Awards, which they were one of the judges on. Bimini is joined by advertising creative and MullenLowe Global Creative Council Jose Miguel Sokolof, along with Queer Britain trustee and photographer Robert Taylor.

The MullenLowe NOVA Awards, held in collaboration with Central Saint Martins, celebrate the most groundbreaking student work across art, design, science and storytelling. Over two days of judging, the panel experienced 50 presentations that explored everything from climate change and AI to gender identity, social care and the future of creativity.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini, Robert and José reflect on the power of raw, unfiltered ideas and the hope they found in the next generation of artists. They discuss standout projects — from AI powered by human energy, to fungi that eats plastic, to deeply personal explorations of identity — and why student creativity continues to push boundaries and inspire change.
