Recipe for Change

Over the next three week’s we’ll be introducing you to 64 Million Artists newest board members. 

We are a not-for-profit social enterprise and we have a board to support us in three main ways:

• Share our vision and values and be the guardians of these, helping us to stay on track with them if we are in the weeds of delivering our work
• Broaden our community and bring in new voices, making sure we're thinking about things from different perspectives
• Keep us accountable on our spending, decision making and processes, ensuring we are being transparent and open in the way we work

“We are very lucky to have an amazing set of people to collaborate with on the board and they are always bringing new ideas and ways of thinking. We make sure that it's a two way street, by also giving them time to get creative, learn from each other and have some fun!” - Jo Hunter, CEO of 64 Million Artists

Let’s discover what creativity means to our newest members through the prompts they set us!

This week, it's over to Michaela Tranfield.

“I’ve always found that creativity has an inextricable link with any kind of change in our lives and in the world. We need to be creative in the way we navigate through oppressive systems, in the way we show up for ourselves and others, and with how we connect with our communities.

As part of the intergenerational social action work we do at InCommon, we’ve explored how we can create a better shared future through tackling some of the challenges facing our local communities. One of the activities we did last year was writing mini manifestos, or recipes for change. We explored how greater empathy, care and intergenerational friendships could help the group tackle pertinent issues in their local community like rising crime, food poverty and homelessness.”
