LETS START HERE.
(WHAT DE F*#K IS
FALL WINTER -these dam middle class)
WITH THIS
CUT OUT FROM ONE OF OUR POPULAR DAILIES.

IT IS HOPED THAT THE CULTURAL POLICY WILL BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS SPIRALING DECAY OF OUR PERSONAL
INTELLECTUAL,
AND
POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE
WE LIVE ONE FOOT HERE AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY IN THE OTHER WORLD.

WE HAVE LOST IT.

READING THE CULTURAL POLICY.

IT IS NO WAY ADDRESSING THIS

THIS CULTURAL POLICY NEEDS A SPINE.

IN
ENTITLEMENTS - 1, 4, 5, 6 
AREA OF FOCUS - 3, 4
METHODS - 7-C - 3-B

HAVE MENTIONED EDUCATION.

BUT IT REFUSES TO MENTION WHAT THIS EDUCATION WILL LOOK LIKE.

HOW IT WILL OPERATE
IN DEVELOPING THE KIND OF SKILLED CULTURAL WORKER WE WANT.

AS IT IS NOW THERE IS RANK IGNORANCE THAT EXIST IN THIS SPACE.

THE CULTURAL POLICY AS IT IS,
DOES NOT WANT TO RECTIFY THIS.

I WENT TO THE SCIENCE, THECNOLOGY POLICY CONSULTATION AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IN THERE CONSULTATION WITH OTHER STAKE HOLDERS, THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING AN INNOVATIVE SPACE.

AT THE CULTURAL POLICY CONSULTATION THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO STEP ON THE TOES OF OTHER INSTITUTIONS.

WE NEED TO STATE THAT IF THE POLICIES THAT ARE BEING PUSHED AT THIS TIME.
THE GENDER POLICY,
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY,
THE ENVIRONMENTAL OR FORESTRY POLICY
(WHICH WAS HELD IN SOUTH),
THE CULTURAL POLICY.

PRESENTS THAT EDUCATION IS AN ALL IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT.

THEN EDUCATION WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
EDUCATION

HUMAN EDUCATION

NOT THIS PASS AH EXAM KINDAH TING
DAT PASSING FOR
EDUCATION HERE.

THE ARTIST MEETING

Monday the 19^th November 2012, I sat in the Little Carib Theatre, where I listened to the unfolding drama that sits at the door steps of the artists community. I listened to the soap opera of political intrigue, ambition, mobilization and betrayal. I listened to the sweat that artists have committed to the development of cultural structures  being cut out from under their feet, artists being threatened and hustled to abandon their post, abandon their artistic children, their dreams.

The stories that came, isn’t new ... its been here ever since.

Yesterday on the radio I listened to a caller speak about the exclusion of the originator of the original proposal for the job fair, WHICH WAS HELD IN THE SAVANNAH

 That day I’m also hearing about political exclusion.

I have heard the same story from crafts men apply for loans, that their loans will go through only of they consider bringing in one of the bankers friends as an investor.

I have listened to the story of artists who have given up their ideas only to see their loan application be denied and their idea manifest under strange circumstances under another name.

But hearing it now in this collective whole sale way from the state conglomerating everything under the guise of national patrimony in some form of capitalization and mutual benefit for the artists is very problematic and smacks at the heart of reverse slave trade/indenturship.

The idea of the body doing the work, while a business elite profit from the back, sweat, blood, intellectual and political sovereignty of artists under the guise of the Creative Industries Company.

IS CAPITALIST SLAVERY.

 

    

ah HEARING WORDS LIKE
INDEPENDENCE OF ARTISTS,
SUSTAINABILITY,
BUSINESS  MODEL ETC.
STRATEGIC,
NEGOTIATE,
EAT AH FOOD,
EAT DE FOOD,
TAKE DE FOOD,
THE BUCK STOPS HERE,
THERE WITH THIS
CREATIVE INDUSTRYCOMPANY
TING.

THIS IS SERIOUS ON ALL LEVELS.

IF WE'RE TO BUILD A CIVILIZATION WE MUST UNDERSTAND PROPER
PROCESS IN REACHING 
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT.
DESIGN BUSINESS.
 DESIGN INDUSTRY.

The artists who make it,
who feel they make,
they say that they built this without
state or any other economic involvement or third party situation.

that artists need to be independent and not rely on the state to eat ah food.

Must know, that is your story!
that isn't the story of
the other person.

one of the reasons for the creation of the Credit Union, was to offer alternatives.

Government
has a right to foster a fertile environment that will create the artists that will rise to their fullest potential.
to be independent,
to build without any third party help.

we deserve that!

THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY GET TAX BREAKS,
THEY GET INDUSTRIAL PARKS,
THEY GET VENTURE CAPITAL,
LOANS ARE WRITTEN OFF.
APPLE GET AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES,
DEVELOPS.

WE DON'T!

SO LETS
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE MARLON
WILL DEVELOP AND BUILD HIS DESIGNS IN A SUPPORTIVE NURTURING SPACE,
INDEPENDANTLY,
SUSTAINABLY.

WHERE RICHARD CAN BUILD HIS MEGEE SCULPTURE.

WHERE DEAN CAN DEVELOP THE R&D SPACE.

HUMAN EDUCATION=ART/DESIGN
ART/DESIGN=PRODUCT
PRODUCT=MARKETING
MARKETING=ECONOMICS
ECONOMICS=DEVELOPMENT.

DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE HUMAN NOT STATE. 
 



FORM IS IMPORTANT.
WE CANT JUST START AS AH BIG MAN AND EXPECT TO MAKE PROPER IN ROADS.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THE ABOVE.
OUR PROCESS IS TO PILE, THINGS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER IN THE HOPE THAT WE WILL GET COVERING.

WE NEED PROPER FORM AND PROCESS.
 THAT ISN'T TO SAY THAT WHAT WE SEE ABOVE DOESN'T HAVE THE PROPER DESIGN PROCESS THAT WILL MAKE IT STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
