[The Stage @TheStage]

The Arts Council (@ace_national) has revealed it will now decide what to fund based principally on how "relevant" it is to audiences as part of its next 10-year strategy – and it will "no longer be enough" to produce high-quality work alone https://t.co/zlqPxt5Bho

I was on BBC Radio 4’s Thinking Allowed yesterday, talking about creativity, creative economy etc. with @olimould and @ElizaEaston, introduced as Desmond Hesmondhalgh, an old mistake that used to annoy me (Desmond??) but I’ve mellowed with age :) https://t.co/7lTIxdGBq2

@arsnotariae @PauRausell @lecasellas @TheWarsawForum @lamarinadevlc @audienceagents @JonnyGoodacre @raulolivan @lbonetUB @RamonMarrades @ictlogist It is true that participation tend to mirror the inequalities that exist in cities. But all social interaction tends to reproduce inequalities unless it includes mechanisms to avoid or eliminate them. Participation policies - and here is the paradox - are one of those mechanisms.

[Pau Rausell Köster @PauRausell]

For those obsessed with participation. Is not allways the best solution.

In this case, urbanism

@TheWarsawForum & Peter Inkei on stage... with his brilliant remark on: ...an amalgam of ALTRUISM - IDEALISM & NARCISISM as a main paradoxical driver of the key cultural policy decision makers / (?)

@TheWarsawForum ...at the limit.... that could mean thal all the cultural rights of all citizens are fullfilled.

Is not a liberal statement.

@micatamas @Freemuse98 @pen_int “...we must be tolerant. But... tolerance has its limits. We must not trust those anti-humanitarian religions which not only preach destruction but act accordingly. For if we tolerate them, then we become ourselves responsible for their deeds.” — Karl Popper
