Put simply, as a design organisation which wants to see our neighbourhoods designed equitably, we are shifting to incubating and empowering the actors of change in our lives, business owners and entrepreneurs.

[KIONDO Community Led Design @buildakiondo]

Returning to our purpose means really reckoning with our differences and embracing them as a force.

[KIONDO Community Led Design @buildakiondo]

Connecting with others is instrumental to being instrumental. Interaction and forgoing participation creates ripples in the fabric of modern capitalism which seeks to draw individual biases between us.

This time round, we’ve added: Embrace the Awkwardness. We’re about to spend two weeks making and sharing new ideas in all their power and vulnerability. The School isn’t to create perfect pieces of work; it’s to collectively imagine, and see what we unlock when that happens.

[MAIA @we_are_maia]

ART SCHOOL starts tomorrow. Running 10am - 4pm, Tues - Sat this week & next week ✨

At some point we're going to have to be honest about art, cultural & heritage sector's active participation in the monopoly of land, the self-serving asset portfolio approach to economic sustainability aiding the harm & displacement of working class communities across the country

[Amahra Spence @amahra_]

Looking forward to kicking it with @Keke_Thom, exploring dynamism and the types of leadership, governance and org structures needed for a dynamic, just & life-affirming cultural ecology.

Let's Debate, 13-14 March

@danielyep Thank you brother! It's been a journey, thanks for getting involved early.

[KIONDO Community Led Design @buildakiondo]

@b_researcher thanks for follow! Very curious to learn more about you!

[Olly Armstrong @Olly4Everyone]

So many of my friends who run beautiful spaces that are *so much more than food/coffee/booze* but are community connecting spaces, are fucked. We are seeing the destruction of communal joy for the want of more company profit.

What are the aid & mobilising efforts we can join/resource/amplify in support of Pakistan?

Millions displaced, homeless, in camps, traumatised, lives lost and I've seen barely a murmur on the news.

Climate catastrophe is already here.

The Walsall Water Argonaut has a puncture 😢 so he is getting repaired today.

We'll let you know when he pops back up in Walsall.

We'll also have a date for a talk with artist @JASONWILSHERMIL soon at @newartgallery where you can hear more about his amazing sculptures!

[JASON WILSHER-MILLS @JASONWILSHERMIL]

@CreativeBCuk @newartgallery It’s heartbreaking but everyone is being incredibly supportive and he will be back
