Hi Matthew, Just had a look at the Peter Singer talk you recommended. Interesting ideas. His thoughts on climate change, poverty, and animal rights.
It made me think of an article I found ages ago about small actions and interactions I take as an individual can affect someone or something else, and that everything is interconnected.
The life I touch for good or ill,
will touch another life,
and that in turn another,
until who knows where the trembling stops
or in what far place my touch will be felt

A belated thanks for telling me about the PAN conference in Denmark next month. I'm giving a workshop/paper there, supported by a grant from Grundtvig.
Best wishes

Hey Matthew, thanks for checking out Arts Rising! I'd love to find a way to share learnings and hear more about your work in the UK. Shall we schedule an email chat or call sometime soon?

Thanks so much! I appreciate all artists who support one another. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video and added it Escape Artists. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for creating such a great arts network. I had no idea that someone had put a profile for us on here until today. Good to be here, I'll need to spend some time to coast through all the good information I've missed here.
Think of SANe as a meta- network, an adhocracy, for people, organisations and other networks that are working in the field of arts and social action. The only requirement for joining SANe is that you have an interest in the arts as a means for raising awareness: a way of groping towards a collective super-ego or social mind.
SANe is supported by the Syd Barrett Fund which, amongst other things, is working towards the creation of the Syd Barrett Social Arts Centre in Cambridge, UK. More...
Our next fundraising event will be a walk from London to Cambridge. Want to come along? Find out more...
SANe, the Social Arts Network, exists to facilitate communication between people who are interested in the development of socially inclusive arts practice, services, exhibitions and productions. The network is managed by
Escape Artists but it is open to everyone. Please feel free to upload your photos, videos, music and research papers, or to start your own forum or group.
It's a good idea to put your photos into an album as soon as you upload them; it makes them easier to find and gives them a context. And we'd be grateful if everyone could add either a picture of themselves or a company logo to their profile. SANe Books
Visit the SANe bookstore for a great range of books on socially inclusive arts. A percentage of any book sale made through SANe is donated to Escape Artists (UK registered charity no. 1086004) and helps to pay for the costs of managing this network.
Recommend books that you think other SANe members might be interested in.
