There's lots of fear & fury, floating about the worldwide web. So I thought I might try and start my own community.. A landing place that'll enable me to create, write and share content.
Please peruse & perhaps become a patron?

Great talk this… talking about how creative sectors are becoming increasingly elitist, the importance of ‘nurturing’ diverse and neuro-diverse creators, measuring impact in new ways.

When was the last time you were moved by art, how did it make you feel? @gemcairn asks the audience about the relationship between art and the people who make it. #FutureBook

Hey tweeties, it’s been a while. But I want you all to read a piece I’m proud of, about a project and real life gift that I was given in the process that makes my heart soar...

Words as webs, connection, or threads leading to HOPE on the UK Election Day?

There's a shift happening in the creator economy.
Creators want a place where people sign up to see their future work…and then *actually* see it. They don't want to keep chasing likes or follower counts in curated feeds they have no control over.

#GFringeTIP this show is elemental. BOOK IT for theatre and history that moves you from within and depicts the necessity for our civil rights from then & now.

Discussion turns to the omnipotent elephant in the room. Capitalist systems don't support independent artists. We need spaces to meet. Libraries should not be defunded @ceciliaknapp @CelloSeales @gemcairn 'Moments of radical Joy' #PBF #ImagineSomethingDifferent
