How can historic house museums interpret important content when those events did not unfold on-site? Using several historic house museums as case studies, "Telling the Tales of What Didn't Happen Here" considers how–and importantly, why–to address stories of enslavement and freedom, including the ties many wealthy northerners had with slave economies, and the lived experience of formerly enslaved people and their descendants in the communities that surround these sites.

CULTURAL HERITAGE ∙ The issue of cultural restitution has gained unprecedented momentum in recent years, fuelled by groundbreaking initiatives, shifting perspectives, and a growing demand for justice and equity. Our manlio frigo, member of the Art and Cultural Property Focus Team, explores the topic in his article “National legislation would help museums navigate the complex terrain of restitution” in the Museums Association Journal, available here: https://bit.ly/3ZtnUY7

There will always be exception. But extreme and vulgar materialism has completely destroyed culture. All people care for is money and 24 hour shopping binge. Welcome to hell! But obviously people have to pay a huge price for this extreme stupidity of blindly following materialism. Mental illness will hit 30% or more population in 20 years. Smart people will spend at least some time in art, music, dancing etc else be prepared to go for dates with psychriatists. #art #arte #culture #cultura #nga #wellness #wellbeing #wellnesstips #wellnesscoach #psychology #psychiatry #health #healthawareness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

It was great to have Will's insights in the first workshop of our new Let's Get Real programme. Our group will be experimenting around aspects of digital and value over the next few months. There's so much rich thinking around this topic, and so many issues to unpick around expectations, practice, capacity, skills, strategy and more. Our challenge now, is how to focus in on the starting points for each of our wonderful cohort organisations. We'll share learning as we go...

Our work is radically inclusive – removing the studio rental costs which prevent many visual and performing artists and musicians from practising and progressing their careers. Artists already face huge barriers in developing their careers, even getting the chance to make work is a struggle when costs keep going up, opportunities are becoming scarce and incomes are meagre and unpredictable. If we want all kinds of artists to do more than just survive - then the decision-makers are going to need to think beyond short-term measures and have the courage and confidence to properly invest in the wider cultural infrastructure that supports them, the cultural infrastructure that is often less visible, but ever more essential.
