Newsfeed: BODIES, MOVEMENT, ARTS ECOLOGIES, AND DISMANTLING WHITE SUPREMACY

What follows is a growing archive of arts-related online news, media, posts, and resources that have emerged in the context of uprising against the tyranny of white supremacy, racism and anti-black violence that has been activated since the late spring of 2020. Some earlier resources that have re-surfaced in current context are included as well. This page is intended as a space to archive some of the conversations being had about this moment as I encounter them so they can be engaged now, returned to later, and seen together in one place. It feels like a way to take the temperature of the moment. read more

Newsfeed: WHEN ARTS ECOLOGIES AND GLOBAL PANDEMIC COLLIDE

What follows was initially compiled by Deborah Goffe on the Moodle page for her Examining and Reimagining Contemporary U.S. Arts Ecologies course at Hampshire College during the latter part of the S20 semester. It carries forward her practice of collecting news about the “state of the arts ecologies,” which has been shifting dynamically in relationship to global pandemic. So, this page collects news about the arts, this moment, and what their collision illuminates about the ways arts ecologies work. The hope is that they will serve as points of reference as we individually and collectively engage ideas of what comes next. Deborah will continue to update this page until she grows too exhausted to do so. If you come across resources you think should be added, do let her know. As pandemic gives way to global protests to dismantle white supremacy, news and media covering the relationship between arts ecologies and recent uprisings is also being aggregated on this page. read more
