A new report on Inclusive Histories by British Future explores how arts and culture organisations are reflecting the complexity of our shared past, engaging communities to help shape the work, and navigating polarised responses. At Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, we believe that arts and culture is key to building a fairer future for people and communities in the UK. Museums, galleries, and heritage institutions play a vital role in this as places we go to learn and expand our view of the world around us, as well as ourselves. They provide spaces for connection and creative engagement, opening doors to new ideas and discussion on challenging issues from our past and present. We hope this report is helpful to arts and culture practitioners and provides ideas for engaging diverse communities in this work. our article on the research: https://lnkd.in/ejBJiBEf British Future's report: https://lnkd.in/e2Gf3D_Z

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.

We visited the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History today in Washington, DC and it was just fabulous. We highly recommend it to all Linked In members visiting DC. Visitors are able to enter the museum until 4:00 p.m. Passes are released at 8:00 a.m., for time slots up to 30 days out. Same-day passes are released beginning at 8:15 a.m. They are free to reserve. It’s a little more complicated than needed (eg you have to enter your email twice) so leave some time for filling it out via your cell phone on site! All groups (schools, families, educational groups, etc.) larger than nine must use the group reservation link. Important Conditions: The Smithsonian’s timed pass reservation system is for visitors’ personal use only, and Smithsonian timed passes are valid only for the stated visitor(s), guest(s), date, and time. Passes may not be sold or transferred. Reservations that violate these conditions may be cancelled. Once inside you are going to absolutely love it! The presentations are on six floors so just pick one to get the most out of your visit. We picked Concourse 3 : the earliest period of African-American history but other floors cover cultural developments, including music and film so do a little planning! #nationalmuseumofafricanamericanhistory
