Racial equity - changing what should have changed decades ago

Why levelling up shouldn’t mean levelling down on diversity 

12 April 2022
Opinion

How will Arts Council England square the circle of delivering increased funding to regions outside London while also meeting its commitment to increase funding to Black-led* organisations? asks Kevin Osborne.

9 February 2022
Opinion

The existential question of race inequity demands new solutions. Kevin Osborne and Genevieve Maitland Hudson explore the potential of impact investment.

Inequity in funding decisions

5 January 2022
Opinion

Funding ‘criteria’ tell you what a funder will or won’t support, but organisational ‘constraints’ ultimately determine what gets funded, says Kevin Osborne.

Whose ‘lived experience’ matters most?

4 November 2021
Opinion

A new strand of political correctness is reshaping conversations on race: the idea of ‘lived experience’ driving the debate. While the intention is good, Kevin Osborne argues it throws up new questions.

We need to talk about race

6 October 2021
Opinion

A reluctance to share opinions openly is a significant block to achieving racial equity. But as Kevin Osborne argues, without understanding prevailing attitudes to racial inequity we are unlikely to reach effective solutions.

Racial equity: a zero-sum game?

1 September 2021
Opinion

The fight for racially equitable funding in the creative industries is what drove Kevin Osborne to set up Create Equity. Here he argues the need for Black and White leaders to work together to make it happen.

Why funders must pledge to fund equitably

13 July 2021
Opinion

Covid, the murder of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement all led to an outpouring of statements committing to action on racial inequality in arts funding. Kevin Osborne’s initial optimism about that has since been tempered.

State funding for BAME entrepreneurs

16 June 2021
Opinion

Can using public money to make BAME* entrepreneurs successful be in the public interest if it makes them wealthy too? Kevin Osborne sets out the challenge.

Funding BAME creativity

1 June 2021
Opinion

Kevin Osborne has long been exercised by systemic racial bias in UK arts funding. Last month he produced a panel discussion aimed at ‘digging deep’.

BAME over - the unintended consequences

28 April 2021
Opinion

With a Government report recommending the dropping of the term BAME, people have been challenging Kevin Osborne’s continued use of it. He remains ambivalent about the proposed change.

Kevin Osborne

 

ArtsProfessional is working in partnership with social entrepreneur Kevin Osborne, founder of MeWe360 and Create Equity, to present a series of articles that promote a more equitable and representative sector.

       MeWe360 is a not-for-profit, black-led creative hub that champions Black, Asian and minority ethnic entrepreneurs in the arts and creative industries. Our Incubator programme includes mentoring, bespoke industry and peer networking, entrepreneur retreats and peer learning groups. Thought Leadership MeWe360 promotes dialogue about issues of BAME representation in the arts and creative industries as well as action plans for the change we want to see.

 

Create Equity’s mission is to make investment in the creative arts, social enterprise and technology equitable. Initially our work will focus on a £25m investment fund to support BAME creative entrepreneurs, leaders and talent, and a pledge campaign asking signatories to commit to funding in proportion to the UK’s BAME population by 2031. That’s a decade to change what should have changed decades ago.
