I hate this uber masculine X design for twitter, with its proto-fascist aesthetics, that I think in going to delete my account this week. You can still find me on Insta and FB.
Talking through the AREVA Report and how to manifest practical outcomes for a more equitable arts sector. In particular a Community Jury to restore trust and an inter-institutional writers' room to undo the harmful bureaucratic language. eventbrite.co.uk/e/better-to…
Researching TOMA (The Other MA) at Southend am learning more and more that the engine of social & (art) educational justice isn't solidarity (which is just an outcome) but friendship & love. And not squishy love but a love in the Bell Hooks sense of action rather than sentiment.

The AREVA report sets out a new approach to tackling racism and inequity in the visual arts sector, and makes recommendations for a long-term, anti-racist development scheme to be adopted by arts institutions.

Last month we gathered for the sharing of the report. Thank you to @jackkytan for performing parts of his creative response to the knowledge exchange sessions for us all and to all the panelists and participants for their time and effort in creating an anti-racist art ecology.
This is utterly gorgeous! Amahra and MAIA again trailblazing the way for a new future of governance and accounting/accountability.
Together, with 4 dope artists, we have been in residence to develop GRAFF; Creating a language that accounts for the tangible and intangible elements of our work.
On March 4th, we'll be exhibiting our prototypes & tools, inviting you to come GRAFF with us bit.ly/maiaevents

Whenever the capacity of art & culture in transformation & justice work gets reduced/erased, I remind myself that people like @CarmenAlpha @Gabriella_Lab @FREEDOM_BALANCE @jackkytan @daniadmiss & many others are rehearsing/iterating multi-systems change via cultural practice.

Dreaming of a different (queer) bureaucratic world where we make space in governance for the more-than-human. Particularly how animals, ecosystems, those passed and future generations can figure as present 'persons' in our organisations. 21 Jul, 10am, zoom, @MAIA_Group
