This year, we launched a members-only newsletter curated by 12 WOC academics, artists & activists, who each guest edit a month’s weekly mailouts, a.k.a. ‘Chapter’, around a theme that relates to their practice and/or research. More here: https://t.co/fZuzpX6Oto

In conversation with PS, writer and co-editor of newly released anthology The Colour of Madness, @Samara_Linton considers dominant mental health narratives in the UK and why we need to be conscious of cultural contexts when dealing with mental illness. https://t.co/mgmmJ9lZNw

[POSTSCRIPT @postscriptldn]

Congratulations to @Samara_Linton and @rianna_walcott on the release of The Colour of Madness: Mental Health and Race in Technicolour. A book that deeply resonated us, inspiring our exploration of introspective realities as WOC in The Reverie Issue. https://t.co/nxoGF7gceO

Part of an exploration on returning to the home/land as a space of reconstructing Palestinian identities, @SarahIhmoud considers the inheritance of her father’s longing for home as an opportunity to recover lost parts of herself.https://t.co/upGW6ivNI1

[POSTSCRIPT @postscriptldn]

Revisiting this touching piece from @SarahIhmoud as we reflect on #Nakba74. An excerpt from Exiled at Home: Writing Return and the Palestinian Home, this personal essay frames Dr Ihmoud’s return to Palestine as a reclamation of identity and self.

Meeting the incredible @moyazb and the amazing @Chess_Ess over the weekend to discuss “Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women’s Digital Resistance” and sharing bits of my work with them means everything to me! Thanks to @postscriptldn for making this possible!

What can thought be like when de-linked from logics of profit-making (but not work)? This wonderful book launch event with Dr. Moya Bailey and Dr. @Chess_Ess had a lot of us dream of transformation and space. Congratulations @postscriptldn on your incredible inaugural event.

Where mainstream presentations have previously felt limiting, a growing tide of contemporary black artists are embracing the extraordinary & absurd to construct new realities of what blackness as an aesthetic can be. | @IrenosenOkojie for The Reverie Issue https://t.co/ryQwF0f9a1
