…a powerful reminder of what is at stake.

So much history we need to learn from, so that we can stand in solidarity for a better future.🕊️

Here’s the back cover text for my forthcoming book, Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal –Why the Arts Are So White, Male, and Middle-Class and What We Can Do About It

Calls to expand public investment in the #arts often treat the existing cultural and institutional landscape as a given. In Defund Culture, Gary Hall challenges this assumption.

The book foregrounds the structural inequalities that shape Britain’s #creative and intellectual life, producing culture that is safe, homogeneous, and anti-intellectual. ... Hall shows how the dominance of white, male, middle- and upper-class voices ... is sustained through longstanding funding arrangements and institutional hierarchies.

... Hall proposes redistributing resources away from elite institutions and toward more collective, #commons -oriented, and radically relational alternatives grounded in redistribution, institutional transformation, and epistemic pluriversality.

This is one I did a few years back for a man from France, it is a replica of a famous painting from the early 1900s I think, it was done with oil paint on canvas. Msg me if you'd like something custom-painted for you, nearly anything you'd like can be illustrated ---

Dang, I passed by the #Øyafestivalen site on the way home today and it made me realise that 'festival season' is quickly approaching in #Oslo. 👯

From pop #music to #jazz, from #arts and #film festivals to stand-up #comedy -- there are so many #festivals happening throughout August that I tried to list a few on the @HvaSkjer account.

The story of the blue doll🇺🇦🇺🇸

🎁A gift from an incredible woman—Mrs. Olena.

She remembered me from my last volunteering in #Kyiv.🇺🇦

When she’s not weaving camouflage nets, she crafts handmade dolls for frontline defenders, too.✨

This one found its way to Malden.🇺🇸
I’m thinking of her. And the people of #Ukraine 🇺🇦
