“Inclusivity” in the Arts: A Term Without Much Weight or Meaning

The term “Inclusivity” is used ad nauseam across the Arts. Unfortunately, it has become a “Widget” in social activism campaigns that is more relevant to fund raising and public relations than anything of use to the world as a whole. — WHEN WE INCLUDE A DIVERSE RANGE OF PEOPLE IN OUR PROJECTS ORGANICALLY, THAT MAKES SENSE.

Two Weeks in London has Forever Changed my Life Trajectory
