When arts partnerships face external pressure about Pacific gender representation

My co-director and I run a Pacific arts collective and we're getting pressure from funders to make our programming more 'inclusive' but their definition doesn't match how we understand Pacific gender traditions. We're torn between accepting funding that comes with strings attached and staying true to our cultural approach.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two leaders must choose between financial support and cultural integrity when outside definitions of inclusion don't align with their values.
