“As a sector we need to be actively engaged with the question of how art and artists can shift underlying values towards more regenerative futures, away from extractivism and consumerism. While reducing the environmental impacts of our own activities is crucial, we also need to be leading on cultural transformation with our programming and practice, in collaboration with Indigenous communities and other marginalized voices.”
