The UK is to have a general election in July in which we get to choose whether a blue or red party continues helping Israel bomb and starve children in Gaza.

A profound and fantastic exhibition LibraryofBirmingham by artist & researcher Tracey Thorne on the financial gain & human suffering made by Boulton & Watt from selling steam engines to sugar plantation owners across the Caribbean & America. A must see exhibition.

Love TEN 8 magazine? Well next year seems to be the year to celebrate it. This is a call for a fellowship to reinterpret its impact. Fascinating.

Any one gone to Photo London already. Highlights?

What do you think about the changes in Digbeth? Surely we must strive to add what cultural facilities we have.

Remembering #Arada

To capture what evictions and demolitions entail, we need to focus on the absence of what once was. In this exercise, remembering becomes an act of resistance.

Get your reminders set indeed.

This will be excellent. Ticket sales opening soon.
