NEW EPISODE🚨
The Darker Side of the Home Front - Part 1
When we think of the Home Front in Britain today, images of 'the Blitz' and the 'Blitz spirit' often spring to mind. Today, we are joined by the brilliant social historian Neil Storey to explore just this. #ThePastIsNow
NEW EPISODE🚨
Today, I am joined by Paul Bristow from the @Dunkirk1940M museum to discuss the many myths that surround one of the spectacular events of not just the Second World War, but the 20th century.
Find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or the link in the bio! #ThePastIsNow
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW🚨
Do we misremember Winston Churchill? Part 2 of 2
We continue where we left off in Part 1 as our very special guest, @aroberts_andrew, and myself explore the myth that surrounds Winston Churchill and how this has changed over time. #thepastisnow
And why am I one of the only melanated folks wandering these streets? Is it a coincidence that much of these ends were policed, I mean, looked after by a community land trust. Benevolently gifted from what money? When was that again? #ThePastIsNow
Yesterday and today, there are those who understand justice creates jobs for all of us to do.

And, through it all, there were brave allies and co-conspirators for justice.

I've been using #ThePastIsNow as a case study in teaching for a few years now, but somehow only recently found this article on the project and exhibition by @rachaelminott.
Definitely worth a read if you haven't already:

The Chamberlain clock has scrubbed up well but wish the new interpretation hadn’t been so tentative @BM_AG #ThePastIsNow set the tone for Chamberlain’s legacy in the city. Say it louder and more forcefully. Passive neutrality is just as problematic
Fun fact; we wanted to include this in #ThePastisNow, esp as textiles is one of my specialisms, but after showing interest it was no longer an option and not available. Can't think why.
Also when its about objects not from the UK, Cabinet of Curiosities is quite a racist term.
74% of my students voted that #ThePastIsNow was a decolonial exhibition despite interventions by co-curators @_SumayaKassim and @SKbydesign saying it wasn't.
Something to think about.

TW I hesitate to include this but I remember how uncomfortable I felt when reading this #ThePastIsNow @BM_AG And there lies the truth of our complicity #Museum30 #Letter
