Racism impacts the Scottish arts sector in systemic, structural and interpersonal ways. It is all our responsibilities to challenge and change this. This course aims to support cultural practitioners to embed antiracism in our practice. Over a course of six webinar style sessions participants will be able to explore antiracist values, antiracist practice and our own roles within systemic racism and white supremacy. We will be learning and discussing how to bring together antiracist values with everyday practice. Participants will be offered resources, reading and reflection materials.
Often the labour of dismantling racism is left to people of colour. This course is open to everybody, however it is designed for white arts and culture professionals working in Scotland who are looking to challenge racism. It will be focused on antiracist practice with and for artists, culture professionals and arts organisations.
These live 2-hour sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 2 February - 9 March 9 2021, 12-2pm
Led by Laurie Brown and Naomi Shoba, the course will include short talks and presentations, and group discussions.

What does it mean to be looked at? What does it mean to look upon your own future? What Athena Saw When Tiresias Looked is a contemporary re-imagining in film of an Ancient Greek myth swirling with shame, rage, and power. Told in the languages of poetry, music and dance, this is a story about consequences and their potential immeasurable reach.
Athena doesn’t understand how powerful she truly is, and Tiresias doesn’t understand how his actions might affect others. One brief moment that passes between the two characters blows both these truths open. What Athena Saw When Tiresias Looked retells this myth with contemporary relevance, exploring issues around consent, disability, and gender expectations.
The film, directed by Douglas Tyrrell Bunge, weaves together poetry by Ellen Renton, an atmospheric soundtrack from Lord of the Isles, and the work of dancers Anu Walters and Douglas Reddan, to create a dynamic account of two young people bound together by their shame, and their mistakes
Commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists, with funding from Creative Scotland
