The music industry does not work for artists or listeners and needs a radical reimagining.
Mirlo hosts a community of artists, listeners, organizers, and coders who are daring to do just that. 📣🐦⬛

I have bought so much art this week. I will buy every single piece put out. I hope Minnesota artists bankrupt me over this.
Not to be consumerist about all this, but whoever sells this poster as a print will get some pocket change from me.

Everyone’s talking about Artist Basic Income again with the news of Ireland’s basic income for artists (BIA) pilot turning permanent. But how do we go from pilots - like we've had in the US - to policy? Popular education and awareness campaigns!

It's a critical time to be building the liberatory cultural front in the US. People's assemblies are movement and solidarity economy technologies we must access in this moment. Who will be in New Orleans next month?

All this talk about censorship really has me wanting to dig into the irish surrealist movement of the later half of the 20th century, because as far as I remember that was a protest against church censorship - and I want to see how artists and writers have fought back in the past
