S2 E8: Receipts & Red Flags (Part 1 — The Inquiry Trail)

Episode 8: Receipts & Red Flags (Part 1 — The Inquiry Trail)

What happens when artists document everything — and institutions rely on silence?

In Episode 8 of The AC Pulse, Amanda Corrales examines a real, documented paper trail involving a nonprofit arts organization, an event inquiry submission, internal acknowledgment, and the later reuse of artist ideas without credit.

This episode focuses on artist intellectual property, creative labor, and power dynamics in arts institutions — and how documentation disrupts institutional gaslighting.

This is not speculation.
It is a paper trail.

Episode 8 begins a multi-part investigative series on:
• artist idea theft and uncredited creative labor
• nonprofit arts organizations and accountability
• how “misunderstandings” are manufactured through delay
• why artists are dismissed without documentation

If you are an artist navigating institutions, grants, residencies, or nonprofit partnerships, this episode explains why paper trails matter — and how silence is often strategic.
