Love to everyone organising, keeping our communities safe, and particularly to those vulnerable, scared or isolated, as we witness violent scenes of hatred + fascism spread across the UK, amidst ongoing genocides against our kin across the globe.

What we have is each other ✊🏽.

[More Than A Moment @MTAM_WM]

Enough is enough. The time for a beautiful future is now. We invite you to join us in unity and solidarity.

🔊 Introducing THE ARKHE, an afro-speculative lab curated by Associate Artist, Jaz Morrison. What could life-affirming Black British culture look like as a reclamation and ongoing exploration? What skills, principles & ancestral wisdoms could we take to the Black British embassy?

Being in a space with creatives always grounds you and makes you feel recharged with good conversation with people who get it. Shout at to @yardarthouse and @BOMlab for creating these spaces for us

[MAIA @we_are_maia]

Everybody is welcomed and appreciated. You don’t have to be an artist to come ART SCHOOL. You just have to follow these two rules 🎆🎆🎆
