Hello Everyone,

I'm Amy Letts. I did the Arete Fellowship in Oxford last year. I am an artist-tutor and do various things including painting, comic books and zines. I teach part-time for Oxford University about womens health and am an autistic co-trainer by lived experience for the Oliver McGowan scheme. I am area co-ordinator for Oxfordshire Artweeks and run Caption Comics Festival CIC.

There doesn't seem to be much of an 'Arts Arm' to EA, but I'm sure you are aware of its power for political change. My area of expertise would be in visual messaging, communication, awareness-raising and events.

So, at the moment I am writing some awareness-raising comics about migraine, autism and womens health. I am running panels at Caption Comics Festival about Comics & Politics (with a focus on activism, how comics have bought about change and how you can do it too), and the "AI Rant Panel!" (may be renamed). 

re. the AI Panel we have people who will talk about the damage it is doing to artists and creatives, but if anyone here is interested in being involved to outline the larger existential risks please do throw your hat in the ring (message me).
