The vlog also links to my own ArtsHub article on why doing less is necessary in a post-COVID and post-burnout world, shares some of the findings from Employment Hero’s new Wellness at Work report, and uses some Grrrl Zine Fair graphics about The Guardian’s article on the huge decline of working class people in the arts.
