 * Hypericum - a code of practice || https://hypericum.obsidiancoast.art/working-group.php || Obsidian coast  is a curatorial organisation / residency space etc. They have launched a really great initiative recently called Hypericum - a code of practice. The project is "a research project developing a collectively produced, ever-evolving code of practice for feminist, antiracist, anticolonial and environmentally sustainable arts organising". I think there will be public workshops throughout the programme, and the working group will publish some outcomes. In general it seems like a really nicely structured project - check it out on the link below!
 * The Journals of Aesthetics & Protest || http://joaap.org/press/trainingforexploitation.htm || This was mentioned in a really great talk/workshop I attended on alt. art education! Lots of information on here so have a read.

 * Social Model of Disability || https://www.shapearts.org.uk/news/social-model-of-disability-easy-read || The Social Model of Disability holds that a person isn’t 'disabled' because of their impairment, health condition, or the ways in which they may differ from what is commonly considered the medical 'norm'; rather it is the physical and attitudinal barriers in society – prejudice, lack of access adjustments and systemic exclusion – that disable people.
 * Shape Arts Resources for Organisations to work better with Artists with disabilities || https://www.shapearts.org.uk/Pages/News/Category/resources || Some resources compiled by Shape Arts to help improve organisations understanding of and confidence in working with disabled people, and to aid in making organisations more diverse, accessible and inclusive.

 * Flatness.eu || https://flatness.eu || flatness.eu presents moving image works, develops research and writing around ‘Flatness: Cinema after the Internet’ and is curated by Shama Khanna. It hosts many curatorial residencies and opportunities for showing works online.
 * Gallery Interpretation || https://www.theguardian.com/culture-professionals-network/2015/aug/04/writing-gallery-texts-panels-common-mistakes-interpretation https://www.vam.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/238077/Gallery-Text-at-the-V-and-A-Ten-Point-Guide-Aug-2013.pdf || Two useful readings on producing good writing for Gallery Interpretation/Tombstones. The first is a short article from The Guardian, with excellent examples of good and bad writing and some reasoning behind those distinctions. The second link is to a PDF from the V&A that takes a more in depth, albeit more Museum oriented approach to Gallery writing. Although some of the Tombstone information can be a bit basic, there are some interesting takeaways about how to writing to grab attention, and playing to your readers attention span in how you order your information/prioritise your text.
