There are good examples of keeping positive heritage alive. #Teesside has a rich history of opposing fascism - In trenches, on beaches, in the skies and in the streets. We should never forget that it always takes ordinary people to make a difference.

The Battle of Stockton was largely unheard of. We raise awareness of this crucial part of Teesside's history. One of the projects we've already brought to life is the first book which chronicles the events of the 10th September, 1933. #Teesside #Heritage #History...

Blast from 06/2013: "Golden age of #arts funding has given way to debilitating austerity, particularly for #artists who are at the end of a long food chain, divorced from #artsfunding & policy decision-making." What are #artists really worth? theguardian.com/culture-prof…

There's now coherent voices within #arts systems including @YvonneMurphy111 @joverrent and many outside it arguing for massive change in closed, olde infrastructures - in combination (or clamour?) we could actually change the #arts world and make it 21st Century fit & healthy.

A must read thread, saying what we and people like @SusanJonesArts have advocated for years.

If you run an arts organisation that does not have artists at your beating heart, is not built around diversity, systemically excludes people, please stop now. Don’t compete for future funds. Your day has come and gone. Put down your power & privilege. That’s leadership. (8/12)
