Episode Synopsis "01. Where is the UK arts bailout package?"
Welcome friends,This is the very first episode of Untrained Effort - a podcast about performance, politics and the people they have in common.Every two weeks, I investigate a current cultural topic and make a link with the world of policy making and activism.For the pilot, I am reflecting upon the financial aid the cultural sector needs from the UK government, in the face of the COVID-19 crisis. I am asking why we haven't seen a proactivity from the state to salvage the second fastest growing industry of the country.I call Claudio Fuentes, director of the festival and foundation Santiago Off, based in Chile. I call him because I have heard that artists there recently rejected the financial aid from their government and I want to find out why. I want to hear from his and his sector's experience so far with the hope that another perspective can add to our own plans and understanding.To hear the full, unedited interview with Claudio, see the bonus episode available in Spanish.Like what you hear?
