Hi world, I just made this starter pack for those interested in Culture and Arts Policy. Let me know if you want to be added!

River Whittle at the #CreativeTimeSummit: “Stop giving land acknowledgements unless you are giving the land back”. A reminder to go beyond statement, and engage in concrete acts of restoration and return of land and power to indigenous peoples. #Lenapehoking

If it were up to me, the post-SDGs would have at least four cultural goals: 1) fair pay & working conditions, 2) artistic freedom, 3) widespread & inclusive access to cultural infrastructure, 4) access to cultural rights (this overlaps partly w 2/3 but is broader). Now is the time to be ambitious

Hello World.
