We’re proud to share that FUEL’s Director of Content, Steven Courtney, will be speaking at the upcoming GORM Gathering on Saturday 18th October. Steven will join a thought-provoking panel discussion:
🎙️ Creative Interference: Art as Resistance to DEI Tokenism This panel brings together artists, cultural workers, and community creatives who use their practice to challenge sanitised and institutionalised approaches to DEI. From filmmaking to poetry, sound art to performance, the conversation will explore how art can:
✨ Interrupt extractive diversity efforts
✨ Reframe disruption as joy and protest
✨ Reclaim misrepresented identities and histories
✨ Imagine new pathways for justice, care, and collective liberation Panelists will also share excerpts of their work and discuss the risks, responsibilities, and radical possibilities of making “resistant art.” We’re thrilled to see Steven contribute to this important dialogue on how creativity can be a powerful force for truth-telling and transformation. #GORMGathering #CreativeInterference #DEI #ArtAsResistance #FUEL
