"It’s all well and good programming working-class stories or mentoring artists – but if we cannot address the barriers that prevent these artists from sustaining and thriving in their careers, then what’s the point?"
Fair Play co-creative lead Caitriona Shoobridge on benefits system & the arts 'the choice is either to stay on the poverty line & do small amounts of work (harmful to career progression) or abandon benefits in the hope of success (harmful to survival).' https://t.co/z7tJ74m8In

This is fucking class - Posh arty Southerners fuck over working class people in a double dip - Stone Roses getting silenced while posh woman introduces Martin Parr's new book class voyeurism looking at us & taking the piss

In March 2020 I put a call out to working class people to write me a diary of their lockdown I thought it would last a month. The end result was a group of working class people creating this beautiful object

Well done to our Amber
