Pink print of The Arts Emergency Manifesto with 11 points written alternatively in red and blue: 1. Be fearless. You are just as entitled as anyone to have the life you want. 2. There are things that are bigger and better than money. We have things that those in power will never understand. 3. We take it as a given that a civilised society values education, lifelong learning and creativity as a public good. 4. Fight the conditioning that tells you to demonise young people. 5. We are a social justice not social mobility organisation. Arts Emergency is no substitute for justice withheld. 6. To think creatively and critically is to free yourself from the limits of an unfair society puts on you. 7. There is no recession of the imagination. 8. The future is another place. Allow yourself to believe a better life is possible. Say it loud, defiantly, to everyone. 9. Be generous. Now be more generous. Share your privilege. 10. Do something. Start small, start local, keep going. 11. Optimism is a weapon and if all else fails be silly.
"What young people need now is not new schemes, it’s consistency, it’s someone they can trust enough with their best most aspirational self" - @njgriff.bsky.social AE CEO

Data may suggest that diversity in on-screen casting is improving, but there remains a serious problem with representation in theatre, says Irvine Iqbal. It's time for less ‘tick-boxing’ and more conditions on public funding 👇

Rising costs + stagnant funding are putting freelancers + the future of the artform at risk.
The current model isn’t working. It’s time for bold funding reform.
