Practice practice practice...and show your work. Make yourself accountable! It’s scary and vulnerable, but worth the creative growth that results

Practise, film and release it weekly on social media. If you have a regiment - you have a discipline. Don't be afraid to share your practise time. Humans are creatures of habit @olichang

This is a historical moment. Everyone of us is living in a historical moment. You know those stories your grandparents would tell you that made you think of them as living history? This is probably how they felt while living through them.

[Sonia Mehrmand @SoniaMehrmand]

I cling on to my grandparents’ old photos because that’s all I have of their testament. I have their stories too, which I hope to write someday before they fade from my memory. But nothing beats a primary source. BE THAT PRIMARY SOURCE!

My advice: record this is any way you can. Write it out, snap some photos, create short videos, record some audio...whatever you find important, make it into an artifact. There is power in archives. And we have access to technology our grandparents dreamt of!

Gotta focus on the tangible positives!

I’ve so enjoyed this spirited campaign, hearing the voices of Orange County families, and I’m honored to have earned their trust for another term. I will always put working people first, and I will continue to fight for them and for accountability in Washington.

Research and creativity are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they strengthen each other. At @DiversityArtsAu we embed creatives in all of our research. The process of creative production is an important mode of inquiry that explores alternative ways of working and being

[Diversity Arts @DiversityArtsAu]

@lenanahlous & Rani Pramesti in today’s @AusCouncilArts Creative Connections webinar on Embedding Art in Research. An exciting opportunity to talk about #StoriesFromTheFuture workshops and #CreativesOfColour website, and how creative production and research work together

[Sonia Mehrmand @SoniaMehrmand]

Yes the numbers are dismal. But having this knowledge is power and more fuel in the fight for equity and representation in the arts and beyond!

Proud of the work I get to be a part of at @DiversityArtsAu #ShiftingTheBalance
