Ireland's basic income for artists changed my life. Other people deserve the same luck | Caelainn Hogan A pilot scheme offering some artists €300-plus a week for three years is being made permanent. But should something so fundamental be run like a lottery, asks writer Caelainn Hogan

'The state’s own research found that for every euro the government spent on supporting artists, society received €1.39 in return, and the scheme was estimated to have generated more than €100m in social and economic benefits.'

February's Yugotopia Edition will feature a collaborative performance and installation projection from the Tranzicija cycle by Montreal filmmaker Tamara Vukov - one gesture in a multipart documentary film, installation and performance project Tranzicija with soundtrack composed by Chvostek.

From piano ballads to ambient bendings of time and space to post punk hommage à Devo…. Could this experiment be a band?

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

Listening now! Sounds so lovely 🥰

This place was never anyone's to buy Never anyone's to sell These laws are just the drone of the mosquito Pricking at our will If you tagged along these buildings Who would you be? What could you say to liberate A way to see? I don't wanna be ruled no more Shovel and paint can, heading out the door And if they take me, I'm still free Rise, rise, dignity Annabelle Chvostek Ensemble [Image: slight blue through very cloudy sky]

Flooding from an ocean Full of bliss The gushing tide All are equal in this They can't beat down The truth of it with blows The seeds just fly Catch the wind and grow and grow We're meeting where the maples Grow through concrete Voices chorus in the air I will meet you there Annabelle Chvostek [Image: white font on dark green background]

Okay everybody, let’s flip some ridings to preserve our public healthcare, environment, common good. Ontario is not for sale. #DefeatFord #OntarioElection

From Canada - cries of trade war in our media and government. We didn’t see this coming but we won’t go down easy.

I get it. ☮️⚖️❤️🦋

The image is taken just above the surface of the water and the image is slightly overexposed from the sun shining off the water, creating a dreamy glowing effect. Four of the orcas have a small portion of their backs visible above water while the other two only have the fins visible.]

Telling folks to just "plug in to community" rn is well-meaning and if you can do that, wonderful. But most people are not super connected to community for many reasons. So, if you don't have community rn that's ok, consider finding 2-5 ppl you can form a pod with.
