Scottish Gov’t Orders Edinburgh Int’l Festival To Diversify Artists It Presents

“The government has revealed that the festivals has ‘accepted’ there were a lack of ‘female artists, artists with disabilities and artists from non-white backgrounds’ in [this year’s] online programme, which was announced in early August. … The event is to be closely monitored in future to ensure it makes improvements and meets official ‘obligations’ on equality, diversity and inclusion.” – The Scotsman
