An absolutely unforgettable day with @gregjames from @BBCRadio1PR who unveiled our new sculpture of #LongBoi at @UniOfYork today - the coolest addition to our @ArtAtYork collection! Greg was PHENOMENAL - the BEST send-off & art launch imaginable ❤️🦆 #UoYArt

I so hoped to be there in person for the Czexpats annual conference but my flu had other plans; happy to join at least online and hear Czech researchers from all over the globe talk about collaborations between Czech academics and universities worldwide #kps2024 @czexpats

Chuffed that the inflatable duck used by @gregjames for the #LongBoi memorial ceremony will be kept forever in our art collection archive- we’ve already had it professionally photographed for our catalogue! 😁🦆♥️
