This amazing FREE resource has been brought to you by ‘the uncultured’.
The 12 texts below speak from, to or about the experience of producing liveness during and since the pandemic. They examine approaches to working through this time, as a freelancer and an arts worker, and the coping mechanisms we have employed, the ways in which we have pivoted, and the practices we have left behind. Each may be read as a standalone text, or they can be considered together as a collection of writing.

The uncultured is made up of “Ashleigh Bowmott and Laura Sweeney – independent artists working collaboratively to produce, curate, facilitate and advocate. They primarily work with performance and live artists, although they see disciplinary boundaries as porous and unfixed. They work with artists whose identity, voice, and political status challenges cultural “norms”. These artists push boundaries, creating genre-breaking, world-shifting arts practices.”
