It’s something I’m noticing a lack of in my experiences and I don’t understand why capitalism? When there’s mass reciprocity couldn’t that override the lumpen vernacular of capitalism?
Academia and the art world need a giant overhaul in the way those worlds operate.

It feels tremendously nourishing to share my 26 yrs of weaving knowledge and build community, and make some income to stay above water. I’m disappointed yet again by the art world and implore galleries and supporters to DO BETTER by their artists. Reciprocity, mutual respect and care. Next comment⬇️

It’s v hard to do both at once. The art market currently a dumpster fire and last yr my gallery said “you need to get a job, we aren’t going to sell anymore of your art this year”. So I applied to approx 1000 jobs and nothing happened. I started my own weaving school as a result (see next comment)
