Shivani was the Producer, Curator & Moderator for CULTIVATING & HARVESTING EDI.
CULTIVATING & HARVESTING EDI – to cultivate means to acquire or develop, and to harvest means to collect or obtain for a future use. Since the summer of 2020, equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) has become ‘top of mind’ throughout the cultural sector, and a priority in funding. Who is cultivating and harvesting EDI, and the money that’s available for it? And is the equity-seeking community actually being empowered in the process? This insightful discussion explored these questions, and the complex issues that can arise from this important work, with incredible panelists Jordan Baylon, Soni Dasmohapatra, Dinu Philip Alex and Pam Tzeng.
