Equity

Equity shapes what we record and how we write about it.

This independent resource aims to make the history of exhibitions, artists and public programmes more accessible. We recognise that cultural records are never complete and that institutional histories can overlook people, experiences and forms of creative practice.

Our editorial work therefore seeks to identify a range of voices and contexts while avoiding claims to speak for communities or individuals. We use plain language, distinguish documented information from interpretation and revise pages when better evidence becomes available.

What this means in practice

Equity is treated here as an ongoing editorial responsibility rather than a completed outcome. Summaries may identify gaps in the surviving record, describe barriers to participation or place a project within wider social and cultural conditions. They do not replace the testimony or expertise of the people involved.
