“I Hope…” | Part 1: Lessons Learned by a Black Woman Cultural Leader in 2020
Dr. Indira Etwaroo (award-winning producer, director, scholar, and arts and culture executive) has worked across the world to develop multiplatform venues and content that represents the diversity of the globe and explores the complex intersections between stories-that-matter and the topics-of-our-time. In this article, she ponders, “How do we create and maintain a polycentric ecosystem of many centers, a global symphony of communal creative expression?” Etwaroo believes,” believe the center of the future for arts and culture must be comprised of those whose identities are intersectionally artists, people of the global majority, women, the LGBTQ+ community, the accessibility community, and the poor.” GIA Board Vice Chair Eleanor Savage announced as President & CEO of Jerome Foundation
“The world and the worlds of arts and culture are more complex than ever. The ways of making art and recognizing the work of artists is evolving,” Savage said. “I’m deeply honored to build on Jerome Hill’s legacy by connecting, listening and responding to create with artists the opportunities that further their efforts to make meaning, tell untold stories and engage in world building.” Kentucky Arts Council Webinar: Emergencies, Disasters, and The Arts
