This week we shared “Future of Arts and Culture: trajectories for the next decade”
The report is based on contributions of an amazing 204 leaders, artists & creatives working in arts and culture from across the world.
Here is the direct link to the report: futureofartsandculture.org/f…
Can’t 🧡 this enough!

I’m joining #NewFrontiers online this afternoon (work is preventing being there the whole day)
Meanwhile I’m looking at tweets by @clarered - who is capturing so much inspiring quotes already
Thank you!
“I no longer want to focus on dismantling the masters house, because doing so gives life and relevancy to something that is on its way out. I want to build a new house that centres abundance and well-being.” Starting the day with Nwamako Agbo’s Restorative Economics #NewFrontiers
Me too @Jaz_KidSis 🙌
And I'm totally into #CitizenCommisioning as some radical cooperative art funding which is super exciting to me.
Sounds simple: 2 people build an Arch out of ice, a chorus sings...
but Arch by @kaleider was one of the most magic & moving R&Ds I've seen recently
They're looking for 2000 Citizen Commissioners to donate £10 & help get it realised

Please do, if you can
This is beyond heartbreaking
And deeply irresponsible.
It will put so many kids at risk and embed exclusion and transphobia into the curriculum
One of my references in a current project is Italio Calvino's Invisible cities and I absolutely adore it
The upcoming session is full but we’ll do one again next month.

"You can't delegate something that does not yet have a precedence' - @ImmyKaur.
Love us be honest on this. Growing capacity takes so much time AND you need the opportunity to emerge the practice first esp for ppls who aren't allow to. Naive 'egalitarian' takes hurts liberation
Beautiful two days in the motherland with my partners-in-imagination @ClubGuyandRoni @NITE_ensemble & @substrakt
Dreaming up the start of our #innovatielab2 project
Now on my way to Tilburg - my home town - for an evening of ‘borrelen’ with my parents
“If there was ever a time when we needed new intellectual maps and new cultural thinking, it is now, if ever there was a time for inspiration, imagination and beauty, it is now”
Please join @CassieRobinson

As a kid, Oprah Winfrey was my biggest star in the world.
Then Oprah lost her mind when Tina Turner surprised her for her 50th Birthday Show — that's when I learned who the biggest star in the world was to the biggest star in my world.
RIP to the World's Biggest Star
Incredibly sad news…
Absolute queen - love her
“Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht,” her family said in a statement.
“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

The amazing team of Tambo & Bones have been targeted by a bunch of racists in a manufactured outrage…
Solidarity to @stratfordeast @Excalibah
The show looks amazing. Go see & support it!
I’ll go one of the TWENTY EIGHT other evenings it is on.
Find out more about the BLACK OUT performance of TAMBO & BONES here: bit.ly/3OHnV7B
ALT Text reads "BLACK OUT night is an initiative which started on Broadway and has been taken up by several London theatres, the spirit of which is congregation, celebration and healing. TAMBO & BONES, staged at Stratford East, is a bold new play, a satire which actively explores race and what it is to be Black. We have chosen to embrace this initiative for one performance, during the play’s month-long run, as a space for Black audiences to experience the play as a community."
