The Space: Twitter is Changing

Twitter is changing: in recent months many arts organisations have noticed a decline in engagement on the platform.

Even before Elon Musk’s acquisition, Twitter reported losses of their heaviest users. Recent staff cuts have also raised concerns about the platform’s moderation, with commentators suggesting Twitter may become less usable for those who already face intolerance and hate.

In this webinar, Dr Rianna Walcott will be joined by Paula Akpan to explore what impact this might have for arts organisations and artists. They’ll discuss :

• What it might mean for connecting with your existing audience?
• What it might mean for reaching new people?
• How might a sector with such a fluid, freelance community communicate in the future?

They’ll also look at the wider issues:

• As a sector, what do we require of social platforms?
• How might currently available and emergent platforms meet those needs?
• If we choose to migrate to different platforms, what influence might we have?

The webinar will be introduced by Fiona Morris, Chief Executive and Creative Director of The Space.
