How many women drummers do you know?🥁- Issue #4

Ciao beautiful people,

How’s your month been? Here we attended the Keeping the Rhythm: An Exploration of Women Drummers during Jazz Appreciation Month. Key learning - artists need to be recorded to be remembered.

In most cases it can take years for undiscovered talent to build their brands and fan base. If there are no records of their work then it is easy for them to be forgotten in time. A great example is Pauline Braddy and her generation of women jazz stars. There are limited recordings of their work, so today when we want to learn more about them it is an even harder task.

Just a reminder we work with visual artists here. We felt learning from the Jazz artists would help us in our quest to support the next Picasso.

Here at Arts4Refugees we have incorporated the latest development in supply chain thinking. Making sure the people we work with and the planet are both respected at the same time. This has lowered our carbon footprint and wastage by a mile. We work closely with organisations like The Positive Impact Community. They help us keep up to date with the latest eco & ethical friendly production methods.

We also promote eco & ethical friendly production methods in post conflict communities. For example, in Northern Uganda we fund entrepreneurs in below $5 a day communities. Each former refugee receives training to run an eco micro business. They earn a living lowering the carbon footprint locally.
