Energy and life and the body. Disappointment and passion and pride. The inexorable labour of working toward the just. The work of desire, the work of identity, the work of standing still. The work of giving life, the work of telling truth, the work of making a home. This season, Meanjin’s writers are calling us to account. What are we gambling with when we settle for what’s merely adequate? What have we already sacrificed the moment we come to realise what’s at stake? What is the price of the just?

Just three days before the close of ballots in this year’s local government elections, the Melbourne City Council CEO notified all staff of a restructure that would eliminate Creative City, the arts and culture branch. Flagrantly breaching caretaker conventions in an election campaign period marred by anti-arts rhetoric and commitments, this restructure risks destroying Melbourne’s global cultural capital status, setting back creative progress by a generation.
