I’ve been working informally with bunch of lovely GLAM folks to collectively pull together a online free global event by and for everyone who is creating, making, thinking, caring for each other, and innovating during the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the ongoing protests against police violence and racism around the world.

The event is Friday 10th July — 6 to 8pm CET. On the program are 18 speakers from 8 countries, giving 2 hours of free talks & performances about “what matters now” to them. Speakers are a mix of artists, journalists, writers, curators, strategists, DJs & creatives and everyone involved is giving their time for free.

Register to attend on eventbrite, its free.

Working collaboratively on the event has been such a brilliant opportunity to reach out internationally to people and feel connected at a time when our personal worlds have shrunk. I am always lifted by the power of radical hope that drives these kinds of informal, grassroot, DIY initiatives.
