There's only 1 day left to formally respond to the government's proposal to cut specialist funding to HE arts subjects by 50%. Here are our responses to the consultation questions (they are less than straight forward), which you're welcome to use: drive.google.com/file/d/1FnLU5i… (1/2)

Cutting 50% of funding to the arts isn't death to British culture. It's death to working class culture. The affluent will still afford to make art. So even less opportunity & representation of people outside of the privileged few in the arts. Again a narrative of inequality!

It would be a tragedy for Britain if the Conservatives make the arts, music and culture only open to the privileged. theguardian.com/education/2021…
