One of the reasons it's been quiet on here this year is that as well as a typical set of projects, and a pandemic, I've been working on a book, which the Future Arts Centres network have just officially opened for pre-orders. Tactics for the Tightrope will be available from the last week of July in hard copy. We will subsequently make it available online, for free, though this will take a little time.
The book updates and join the dots between various strands of thinking practised over the last decade, updating and adding to several papers. It ranges from a new creative resilience framework, to multiplying leadership, sustainable livelihoods and what can happen in the welcoming space of culture. It also includes 25 practical 'tools and tactics', which will be made available separately online, for easier use and adaptation.
You can read more and follow the link to pre-order on the Future Arts Centres website.
There'll be (lots) more about this nearer the publication date, so I'll keep this short and close with a couple of kind endorsements by people who've read the manuscript.
In this generous book about agency and change, Mark Robinson offers tools and thinking to help those working in the arts and cultural sector understand and make the best use of the assets we have, to make the change that we need. A book to read right now, for sure, and one I can see myself dipping into again for many years to come.” Moira Sinclair, Paul Hamlyn Foundation
“Philosophical, poetic and hugely practical: I ended up feeling some of the ideas in the book as well as understanding them as concepts. The Tools and Tactics are brilliant and very immediately usable.” Rachel Adam, Museums Northumberland bait
