Notes

Since this Study Room Guide was published, Platform and Live Art Development Agency ran a Reading Group to discuss the texts that the Guide featured. In November 2012, as a result of this group, an appendix was added and can be found on page 14 of this document. In April 2013 a designed and printed version of the Guide was published by Platform.

Take the Money and Run: Study Room Guide

There are lots of guides for artists on how to earn a living from art or how to raise funds to support making it, but few which help us ask what the ethical implications are of the routes we choose. In this Study Room Guide, arts, social justice and environmental group Platform has selected some key texts that they think are useful in helping to position yourself ethically with regard to financing or supporting artistic practice through business or corporate sponsorship. Since this Study Room Guide was published, Platform and Live Art Development Agency ran a Reading Group to discuss the texts that the Guide featured. In November 2012, as a result of this group, an appendix was added and can be found on page 14 of this document. In April 2013 a designed and printed version of the Guide was published by Platform which can be bought from our online bookstore Unbound.

Taking Receipts: A Log of Aggression for People of Color

Artist/Author: Aram Han Sifuentes, Ishita Dharap | Reference: P4227 | Type: Publication

“Sadly, as people of color we experience discrimination everyday. It’s exhausting. And when it happens, we often question ourselves, thinking: Did that just happen? Am I being too sensitive? And when we can identify that it is discrimination and speak to it, we’re often questioned and others often don’t believe us or brush us off, calling us too sensitive or angry. The burden falls on us to prove that we are being discriminated against. This book is here for you to take detailed logs of your everyday aggressions so that you can show off your receipts–proof.” Aram Han Sifuentes
