@MarkEssen The design is so awful. It is the logo of the baddie institution in an 80s Sci Fi TV series 😂

I hate this uber masculine X design for twitter, with its proto-fascist aesthetics, that I think in going to delete my account this week. You can still find me on Insta and FB.

Talking through the AREVA Report and how to manifest practical outcomes for a more equitable arts sector. In particular a Community Jury to restore trust and an inter-institutional writers' room to undo the harmful bureaucratic language. https://t.co/PIJ86RRd4B

[Jack Ky Tan @jackkytan]

Researching TOMA (The Other MA) at Southend am learning more and more that the engine of social & (art) educational justice isn't solidarity (which is just an outcome) but friendship & love. And not squishy love but a love in the Bell Hooks sense of action rather than sentiment.

The AREVA report sets out a new approach to tackling racism and inequity in the visual arts sector, and makes recommendations for a long-term, anti-racist development scheme to be adopted by arts institutions.

[CVAN London @CVAN_London]

Last month we gathered for the sharing of the report. Thank you to @jackkytan for performing parts of his creative response to the knowledge exchange sessions for us all and to all the panelists and participants for their time and effort in creating an anti-racist art ecology.

Whenever the capacity of art & culture in transformation & justice work gets reduced/erased, I remind myself that people like @CarmenAlpha @Gabriella_Lab @FREEDOM_BALANCE @jackkytan @daniadmiss & many others are rehearsing/iterating multi-systems change via cultural practice.

This isn't just an attack on our members.

It is a bonfire of arts and humanities courses.
