There is so much here to make the brain explode, what a rich post.

That elegant definition of inclusion/exclusion and your ending appeal for the importance of trying is so to the point, and I appreciate that. For whatever reason, organizations that talk about these things tie themselves up in knots with frameworks and mission statements and blah blah, when they could be, as you say, just trying in good faith and adjusting when mistakes are made. Like any other creative process. Great essay.

As always such interesting reading and a really important topic. It has made me think about inclusion in the visual arts. I might also write something about it. Thanks for the inspiration!
