[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Cultural workers develop their work, in the short and long term, against the background of a terrible world scenario. This, as is hopefully clear, is the case especially in the ‘Middle East’, characterised by an ongoing genocide of a particular ethnic group and a war that can potentially escalate towards WWIII which, if this worse case scenario were to come to pass, may well be ‘the war to end all wars’ and the planet on which it is waged. This situation indeed furnished the global community with a series of pressing challenges. One is…
