Great reflections from @ruthsinger on the value - and skills - of public engagement (from an arts / creative practice perspective, applies to other areas too) - ruthsinger.com/2024/06/18/wh…

When public engagement is not very engaging

Come on folks, this needs doing. Yes expensive but the cost might focus some minds on not letting things get so bad another time, another place… maybe somewhere you love. Please sign and share.

Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror. That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.

This is grim beyond belief, but also makes abundantly clear where the crisis facing England’s precious natural places really sits - with a system that is unfit, broken, corrupt, criminal. The land needs the care, vigilance and action of ordinary people. #WildService #HoadsWood

Destruction of a precious ancient bluebell woodland in the Kent countryside under a deluge of illegal landfill waste shows the utter failure of environmental law, complete inaction by the authorities & increasing lawlessness in the UK. Let me tell you the story of Hoads Wood 🧵

When funding artists to work in socially engaged ways with disadvantaged communities, funders and policymakers need to give more support and care to both the artists and the people they are working with.

Socially engaged artists take issues and problems facing humanity into their artmaking practices. In doing so, artists are in a rare position to highlight and reframe these problems for other disciplines, industries, policymakers and the wider public.
