Hiyas and FabMorgen to you all! Interesting points, Helen. By the sequence of the call, it sounds like they feature stuff based on likeness binary rather than funding. Will be interesting to hear about their reply to you. Yes.. I think the call sounds a bit woolly - perhaps giving them a room for slow improvement as and when requires.. Am also un clear regarding the references to "the space".. Will share the reply when (if??) it comes. Back to ironies and "the space".. The apparent prejudicial exclusion of certain practices, seems very peculiar to me as it might reflect a certain fixed and fixated mentality that is and of itself, historically, grounded in sort of kinder-garden fetishisation of practices over others. eg painting over photography, sculpture over theatre, and theatre over cinema, etc.. (..and even utter an utter exclusion bus driving, animation, cleaning and cooking, and so forth.. ;) ) > > on the positive side, this is one of the few funds that doesn't mind > where in the world you are located, & that's a very good thing. Yes. It is to be commended, I think you are right to point it out. However, As per the practices, perhaps the devil is in how they'll implement the openess they seem to hold,, Early days though, no?
