🌲 Running Hidden Keileon CIC as an artist collective without core funding has its ups and downs. We get strength from each other to keep innovating in the arts, practising a new culture and dreaming of beautiful futures. However, feeling defeated by endless no-s from institutions and witnessing the ongoing destruction by systems we cannot refuse to participate in are daily. 😦 In the past months, we received rejection letters from multiple funders as we are on the journey for core funding. It is getting even more confusing when some of these funders are looking to fund art collectives dissecting social justice issues through culture, which is the central theme of Hidden Keileon CIC. The decline in cultural investment for knowledge and capacity building is endemic. 🔮 We know we are not alone on this. With peers, partners and commissioners by our side, we know we are on the right path. We are open to feedback and guidance if you are experienced in seeking core funding for running migrant/queer art orgs on social justice issues 🍄 We are announcing four upcoming events very soon, including collaborations with local government and a theatre production. Please keep your eyes on us and we shall deliver. Hope to see you at all of them!

The Hidden Keileon team stands in solidarity with our communities who are affected by the recent far right riots across the UK. As a migrant and queer collective who believes in building futures with justice and freedom for all, we are deeply affected. These acts of hatred are a stark reminder of the ever-perpetuating colonial damage manifested as state-enabled violence towards those dreaming in collectivity with love. We are threatened, but are never petrified. What happened is the direct results of years and years racist and Islamophobic narratives, spread by irresponsible politicians and news outlets. The mainstream media have been weaponising working class struggles to incide demographic division that leads to physical violence, diverting systemic failures towards non-white migrants. It is important to see the shared frustration across various backgrounds, and more crucial to protect communities who have been walking the street in fear of white violence. We call upon our friends, colleagues and peers to stay in community and call out everyday racism, xenophobia, and discrimination. Whether you are targets of the hateful mob or of privileged backgrounds, the far-right fallacy does not stop at one demographic; fascism fundamentally aims to shift economic anxieties towards illusive scapegoat, or the “big other”, and enabled by complacency of silences that dismisses the escalation of evil. No one is free until everybody is free. In Solidarity and with love, angela hui wai nok Bonnie Chan Ghost Chan Jeffrey Choy John Chan Sandra Lam
