“Studios should have a code of conduct” - @muthoniDQ

[July Agency @JulyAgency]

@muthoniDQ “I felt empowered to do that because I always paid for my sessions, so I always felt like ‘the client has the say for the environment””

@RosieOlang This Friday we're throwing it back to this interview our co-founder @RosieOlang did with @AbigailArunga talking about July Agency and what we hope to achieve. Read it here: https://t.co/YUE54O9WRZ

[July Agency @JulyAgency]

"I often think writers and artists are already doing the work, even under duress. The question then becomes one of creating access to these creative outputs in ways that uphold the integrity and fairly compensates the creators without a foreign gaze"
- @RosieOlang

[July Agency @JulyAgency]

@RosieOlang "in establishing local infrastructure that allow for careers in the arts to be viable ways of living, we hope to free artists to experiment, play, remix and create work that sings and pushes beyond our wildest imagination."
