ARTISTS' MUTUAL AID UK

Artists' Mutual Aid was set up by @etiennelefleur in the hope of creating networks self-organising groups where artists & arts workers can support each other.

So far 60 people from across England have added their names to the callout for a Citizens' Assembly for Culture.

Please sign up and share with anyone else you think might be interested in democratically discussing & deciding how arts & culture is funded.

Almost third of government’s Cultural Recovery Fund distributed by Arts Council England went to London organisations; roughly £16 per London resident compared to £4.50 in East Midlands. Is it time for Citizens’ Assembly for culture? Sign up to show support https://t.co/YLBxcPs8es

Who gets to set the strategy for arts funding? Could this long winter be the time to run a citizen’s assembly for culture? What might come out of a process that is independent of powerful sector players? https://t.co/zJQh2OsFYB

A callout for anyone interested in the idea of a Citizens' Assembly for culture in England. Please add your name to googledoc (no email address required) https://t.co/0iNA1O3Jxg

[Dr Stephen Pritchard @etiennelefleur]

Anyone interested in a Citizens' Assembly for Culture? @davidjubb & I are calling for one! The time is now for openness & a radical overhaul of arts & culture. My own hopes are for cultural democracy (@culturaldemo) & Artists' Mutual Aid (@MutualAidArt).

Artists' Mutual Aid is an idea & a call to action.

Imagine if we could develop a network of self-organised local, regional & national mutual aid groups across the UK? We are stronger together!

We have a platform BUT... It's up to you what happens next:

This short film by Dean Spade & Ciro Carillo is a great intro to mutual aid!

"When the shit is totally f**ked, what can we do?"

It's time for artists & arts workers to start caring for each other: to organise & change the way we work & live together!

I set up Artists' Mutual Aid @MutualAidArt in the hope artists & arts workers might want to self-organise local, regional & national groups to support each other.

We have a platform. It's up to you what happens next!

Pls share, follow, join, take part.
