June Bulletin - warp g39

14 June - 15 July 2020

May came and went and June is here. Again, we’ve collected some wide-ranging links to advice and support we have found helpful, links to things to apply for, to read, watch and experience as well as practical things to do.

This month there’s an expanded section of resources compiled by Holly Davey on dealing with anxiety, self-care, mental health and wellbeing during and after lockdown. We know too that people might feel flooded with information and links, so bookmark the bulletin and take the useful bits with you when you need them.

We are keeping an eye on Coronavirus developments and news as there seems to be a general, but confused, drive toward going back to business. As of today, the R value in Wales is just below one. The mortality figures still match those at the start of the lockdown. We still do not feel confident that we can set a date for re-opening, but are looking how to implement social distancing measures within the building as soon as we can go back. We’ll keep you posted here.

Those are the practicalities of changes that are happening. It was good to read INIVAs “A Note On Voicing” that lays out some of the bigger changes that need to happen. 'The work can begin by addressing what it means to be an anti-racist institution that reflects this, not only in statements but also in our employment, in our governance, in our programming, in our practice working with artists and the public.'

Throughout the bulletin we’ve included links to reading and practical resources that you may have missed, if you are totally avoiding social media.

This bulletin is put together by the five of us left in the scattered g39, any contributions and suggestions are welcome for the July bulletin. Send them to warp@g39.org by the end of June and we’ll try to feature them. We look forward to the day we can work from and share the same space with you all.

Coronavirus Update g39 and Warp are closed until further notice.

In response to increasing concerns about the spread of Covid-19 (coronavirus), and in order to protect the health and wellbeing of staff, visitors and volunteers, g39 has closed in Cardiff until further notice.

We have implemented a homeworking policy and will be following Government advice and recommendations in terms of future working practices. It is our intention to reopen as soon as possible and to offer access to exhibitions, our library and other facilities in due course.

Please check our website and social media channels for updates, and keep safe and healthy in these challenging times.
