WHAT RECIPIENTS OF OUR FUNDING SAY ABOUT US
Working with Counterpoints Arts has been freeing. We have felt held and cared for as artists. It can be hard in this current climate to talk about the difficult nature of developing and creating artistic interventions with institutions that seek to tokenize your work or community or who insist on an absence of politics / material reality of people’s lives and wider connections to global events. They support artists’ longevity and build long-lasting relationships. Counterpoints manage to hold space for these complexities whilst still being open to playfulness and joy.
DHAQAN COLLECTIVE
I have found working with Counterpoints to be an intensely generous and generative experience. They are an organisation with a deeply-held political integrity and commitment to open discourse that takes place in a safe and supportive environment, and they are keen to create opportunities and platforms for connection between artists, communities and organisations sharing similar values.
I’ve worked with other arts organisations that are supportive of socially-engaged practice, but I can think of none who are quite so supportive of the artist and their needs at an interpersonal and relational level. It is refreshing to find an openness to diverse and non-extractive modes of artistic practice in today’s increasingly neoliberalised and toxic “creative industries” landscape.
