Presenting Akeelah Bertram @abarata11 with “(Dearly) Beloved". Responding to the mass graves of enslaved Africans discovered in Lagos and Lisbon, the sculpture speaks to absent figures in our collective memory to memorialise, remember & connect with a difficult past. @D6culture

"...the government would do well to help secure the future of millions of jobs and maintain our global Britain brand by keeping the UK in the Creative Europe programme." #Together4CreativeEurope in @NE_Bylines https://t.co/xiMi3KvPwS

[D6: Culture in Transit 🧡 @D6culture]

Don't restrict our cultural sector @OliverDowden. Keep the UK in Creative Europe, so we can build networks, form relationships and develop empathy and understanding of people outside of our own ever decreasing echo chambers. #Together4CreativeEurope

[D6: Culture in Transit 🧡 @D6culture]

Today, with over 250 European cultural leaders and organisations, we write to @OliverDowden to ask him to keep the UK in the Creative Europe programme. The programme has put £79m into UK arts/culture since 2014, it's vital we stay #Together4CreativeEurope
