About the uncultured
We (Ashleigh Bowmott and Laura Sweeney) are arts independents working collaboratively to produce, curate, facilitate and advocate.
We’re a bit feral, quite undomesticated and not very civilised, so we are lifelong freelancers who co-dependently work together to offer our combined skillset with one slightly-grating voice. If you would like to know more about the way we work together, please read a short publication about our collaboration from our project Producing Liveness in Interesting Times.
Artist and arts worker development is at the core of our practice, and we believe freelancers need to be empowered (with money and resources) to support other freelancers in a way that organisations are not able to. Our view is that sustainability within our sector is in crisis and autonomous, prosperous, healthy lives are often not achievable for those working professionally in the arts. This structural failure needs to be attended to by everyone working within it. Therefore, no matter our line of work, our focus is always on better, more equitable working conditions in the arts.
