Welcome to ‘and another thing’, my brand new series on things that interest or infuriate me – exclusively for my amazing Patreon followers.
This one starts with a recent ArtsHub article on Theatre Network Australia’s report that says 51% of independent artists are currently considering a career change.
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.
AI policy
I am a concerned and conscientious objector to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. You can read more about my many objections in my recent piece on raining on the parade of generative AI in the arts (and everywhere else).
If you consume or use my work or writing, you can be sure that the creativity, labour and language that goes into it are either my own or drawn from the wisdom of the clever humans I reference or cite, and that I do not intentionally use Al to research, generate or edit in any part of my writing or publishing processes.
Subscribe or support
I undertake the majority of my research, writing, advocacy and sector development work on a self-funded basis.
If you’d like the full versions, transcripts or archives of these rants, you can join me as an advocate, ally or accomplice for rethinking arts governance on Patreon from just $2.50/month.
Or subscribe to my free occasional enews for future updates.
