Getting your hands dirty: Arts, politics and cultural policy OR real work is boring

KM Kaajal Modi Public Seen by 17

I though that this newsletter by Rose Gibbs might be of interest to the group, some of the issues raised are particularly relevant to participatory practice and the difficult work of political engagement through the arts.

Thanks for posting this @kaajalmodi. It makes a lot of sense to think of gentrification as a way that artists create capitalist value that is ultimately taken away from them. Would you have time to reach out to Rose Gibbs and see if she's interested in joining this discussion and/or maybe joining us in Brighton in September? X
