Churchill Fellowship

Churchill Chat - Equity, Inclusion & the Impact of COVID-19 on the Arts

One of the many brilliant things to have emerged from the experience of my Churchill Fellowship has been my friendship with fellow Fellows Patricia Adjei and Morwenna Collett - experienced, passionate arts advocates and leaders in their own fields.

On 30 August we were invited to hold a “Churchill Chat“ by the NSW Churchill Fellows Association. Given we were all in the middle of Sydney’s second COVID lockdown it was held online. But also… given we were all in the middle of Sydney’s second COVID lockdown we took the opportunity to revisit our respective Fellowship learnings and reflect on some of the bigger conversations happening in the arts at the moment around equity, inclusion and the impact of COVID-19 on the sector and on the respective audiences and stakeholders our research focused on.

As always, I learnt a lot from the conversation and I’m excited it’s finally up online to share:

“Teen Art Councils are Pushing for Change at Prestigious Museums.”

This is a brilliant article by Claire Voon for Teen Vogue on the current activism of a number of youth councils at museums across the United States. I had the privilege to meet with many of these organisations (and their young people) during my Churchill Fellowship last year, including the Brooklyn Museum, MCA Chicago and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and it just brings home to me, again, how truly transformative these programs can be.

SAMAG Talk - Bringing it home: Innovation & Ideas from the Churchill Fellowship

I’ve been invited by the Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group (SAMAG) to join a panel discussion next week, with my fellow Fellows, Morwenna Collett and Patricia Adjei to reflect on our experiences and learnings undertaking Churchill Fellowships. I can’t believe it’s been 12 months now since I got back and so much has happened in that time - it’s going to be interesting to see how all of our findings and recommendations necessarily recalibrate in response. I’m just so grateful I had the opportunity to go last year…

Tickets are available via the link but the whole discussion should be posted to the website soon after.
