Artists are often made to compete for funding and have to go through longgg application processes only to get crumbs. Mutual aid and decentralized models exist but often are not as well resourced #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 22:17 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvco3oef22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvclrcnyk2eAlso there are many in the philanthropic sector that tout that there are billions of dollars out there but never talk about the political/radicalized nature of the sector i.e. why orgs > CodePink were in Ferguson attempting to direct where money went and who got it without accountability #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 22:15 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvclrcnyk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvch4ivzc2eCultural diplomacy is a vehicle to create your own narratives and dump them on local communities. I no longer surf around that space, however, the koolaid is still strong over there esp amongst artists that participate in those programs. #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 22:13 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvch4ivzc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvccrkzhk2xAlso most arts funding from the feds and states go to the largest organizations. California is much more experimental than other states however, there is still a power vacuum that is consolidated in both LA and the Bay Area by yt funders and yt led orgs. Very little trickles to rural areas16 Jan 2025 22:10 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvccrkzhk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvc4mfpys2xFoundations and funders almost always benefit from said programs. They create the criteria and what is to be funded. These are most often programs used to get buy in from local communities and are a form of cultural colonialism and co-opting of artists work in these communities #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 22:07 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvc4mfpys2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvbrtxk222xQuestion 4: We know funding for arts is often inaccessible, especially in the US, yet there are several government-sponsored “exchange” and “diplomacy” programs that fund independent artists. Who really benefits from this? #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 22:01 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvbrtxk222xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvbnnc3p22x*me trying to get used to chats on here* #CultureFix https://media.tenor.com/Eooa3_YG0qEAAAAC/brooklyn99-rosa.gif?hh=268&ww=26816 Jan 2025 21:59 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvbnnc3p22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvbjbjkm22xEqually harmful are artists and orgs who show up in mutual aid and community spaces to be seen, take up space or garner brownie points at the expense of our communities #CultureFix [contains quote post or other embedded content]16 Jan 2025 21:56 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvbjbjkm22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvbcpzchs2eSmthg that came up in a mtg I had today was that -- how you show up in these moments is a reflection of your actual values and ppl seemed pissed that I said it. Too many arts advocacy orgs talk a good game until its time to push money to those who are impacted most + not their "friends" #CultureFix [contains quote post or other embedded content]16 Jan 2025 21:53 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvbcpzchs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvb3lv32c2xNina Simone on the role of artists #Culturefix16 Jan 2025 21:49 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvb3lv32c2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvaujptas2x Question 2: Nina Simone said that the artist’s duty is to reflect the times? What does this mean and how are you seeing it in today’s world? #CultureFix16 Jan 2025 21:45 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvaujptas2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvatng3u22xHey #CultureFix fam! Happy to here. Currently building tools for artist to connect to resources and tools. Transitioning from the museum world and spending most of my time serving Californians for the Arts as a board member and napping. Also knee deep in emergent tech ie NFTs and Blockchain [contains quote post or other embedded content]16 Jan 2025 21:44 +0000at://did:plc:kmp5fepdxjltd2kgck5im7yo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvatng3u22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nataliecrue.bsky.social/post/3lfvah77ebk2xRelationships matter!
