I wanted to make some work about being a queer disabled person and about how I have a responsibility to show others that joy can exist for us, I’m really worried about the fetishisation of my suffering and how I don’t want that to be my practice. I’m starting to flare up real bad again and I’m in pain all of the time. I tried making a drawing about it but it didn’t bring me joy, I hope that I can continue to create soon but today I have a responsibility to be kind to myself so I have more energy tomorrow.
Posi vibes?

Ultimately a maker (or artist) has no responsibility apart from to themselves to make sure they are enjoying the work and process, even grounds for healthy and safety can be and have been stretched from a historical perspective [inset example of artist that sets themselves on fire or similar, personally i have witnessed some interesting performance art practices in the past]. However if there is money and/or participation and/or curation and/or education and/or community leading involved then there is an argument that responsibility is important in all these things. An example of how this responsibility might work can be demonstrated from the last couple of days of the 30/30. On Day 20 I sought out unsolicited feedback that led to some awkward but funny situations. One of the reasons it seemed like an entertaining thing to do for me was that it led to seeking participation from others in unusual ways that I'd not previously thought of. As I felt I was acting out of character to get the task complete, I felt I had a responsibility to let the people know afterwards what had been going otherwise what I had been doing could be construed as manipulative, deceptive exploitative; though this doesn't stop most people generally cheating (hello Day 19). By debriefing the participants they have a choice whether to consent to the participatory art process in development. It's a question of ethics and how we treat each other. With participatory and educational practices artist consent seems to be an important consideration on a process level. On a wider scale if an artist is accessing a community and /or funds they have an obligation to give back and complete an undertaking. This could involve the development of their own ideas in conjunction with a designated group of people and/or organisation, give voice to the unheard and generally improve health and visibility of certain identities, narratives, feelings and ideas for the better, well if it's for the worse they'd soon be out of their role(?). Artists have an opportunity to expose (universal) truths and reveal the layers of knowledge they rest on, to deconstruct and reconstruct hopes, dreams and fantasies so we are all better at understanding what is doing human. With this artists can carry the torch for survival by providing hope, a record of human achievement, dissent and offering new perspectives when it looks like the way ahead has been bricked off. All useful things to progress societies and cultures.
