@fair_jobs From experience this should really be a paid position. Not only does it provide some accountability but it also gives a paid role in heritage - otherwise it becomes elitist, where only those rich enough not to need paying will do the role.
@curatorian@I_W_M Really enjoyed the exhibition. I'd bought a coach load of year 9 students up from Cornwall and I was the last one back to the bus because I was so engrossed with it! (They thought it was great too)
#smalltowninertia I like, no, need to do things differently to the imposed & often adhered to template. Every single print at the latest @photofusionUK exhibition is for sale for £25 & we aim to sell out. All the money will be donated to young #carers
Can studying art history change the way you see the world? My view of the local train station struck me because it reminded me of Edward Hopper's work. Seeing the beauty in the mundane.

So proud of my amazing wife Amra Abadzic who has written an incredible book on the lived experience of the Siege of Sarajevo, an intimate, emotional and accessible guide to how the citizens of the city dealt with the terrible aggression they were subjected to. Published tomorrow!
So I studied war art made about Bosnia, the Falklands and the gulf war. All this between 1980 and 1994. They weren't the only wars to happen and they were not the last, but it's still sad to see another country, more families torn apart by conflict.
@SarahRoseCrook Good point. When I was on a research trip to Dulwich with my 12 year old I bought her some chips and a drink and left her in the cafe for 30mins. Probably not my best parenting moment.
Finally got to see @theboxplymouth !So impressed by everything- the exhibitions, the architecture, the content. It really is a special place and so good to have it in Plymouth.
🧠 Reminder that we're looking for very short proposals for very short papers for this roundtable on 11 November. A chance to discuss big themes and works-in-progress with ECRN members and the wonderful Ana Carden-Coyne.
So the other week I finally got to attend my PhD graduation. Thank you @PlymUni and all the staff at @HuMPA_Plymouth that helped along the way. If you are just starting your PhD journey, enjoy it - knowledge is a wonderful thing
