Oof, the extent to which performative social media VIPs and platforms will go out of their way to not engage community or support independent and marginalised artists is palpable, demoralising and sad.
Even here in the slightly alternative socials.

There was more hype about the fest coming then now when the artists are right here sharing their voice!
