EDI Co-learning Network

EMCC is delighted to be working in partnership with Culture Counts, a network of arts, heritage and creative industries organisations to run an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) co-learning network.

Culture Counts work to protect the eco-system of the arts, heritage and creative industries for the common good; through administration and policy change.

With funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the work of this new network will be supported to grow iteratively, rooted in opportunities to learn, share, discuss and think as a collective.

To frame and inform this thinking, the network was launched by commissioning six diverse artists from across Scotland to create short, new pieces of work on the theme of “dreaming of a fairer future for culture”. The commissioned artists are:

Alberta Whittle, Harry Josephine Giles, Harry Mould, Indra Wilson, Kezia Lewis, Miwa Nagato-Apthorp.

Kathryn Welch, Interim Director of Culture Counts, said of the launch: “These creative commissions will inspire and guide our discussions as a network, and offer us fuel to think together about the kind of future we’re aiming toward, and to explore what steps we might take to bring that closer to reality.”
