As a 90s kid my nostalgia is mostly for things I pined after in the Argos catalogue and never got. Otherwise I associate it with terms like "p@ki" "Ch!nk" & "half caste", rough sleepers along my local high street , and my dad punching a BNP member in the throat one day when we

Powerful evening at #MessagesFromGaza hosted by Paines Plough. Thanks to White Kite Collective for organising and inviting me to read. A night of contemplation, rage, poetry, music, & galvanisation. Read the roundup here: buff.ly/3YYu58l.

Big up Bow Arts for a positive commission application experience, even though I didn't get it! 👏 1/ Their open call was welcoming, especially for artists like me exploring new mediums. The language used was clear, and the form was artist-friendly. 👇 (1/3)

Bow Arts 2/ When invited to interview, they outlined the process, asked about accessibility needs & made me feel welcome. The conversation was engaged, and focused on my practice & ideas. 👇 (2/3)

Lovely to see Lynn Faces on the list with the Neurodiverse Review award for exceptional theatre 🤩

It truly is a privilege to work with an incredible community of artists!

Briefly appearing here to let people know about this. Small to mid-scale orgs in London have done loads of incredibly advocacy / solidarity work since pandemic started - and I want to give some capacity to co-ordinating that because everyone is getting burned out by it.

Ban subsidised arts venues from using dynamic pricing has been my platform for years. If you want that sweet arts council/local govt money, you don't get to charge people more for booking closer to the time! Because who are those later bookers? Hmmmmmm

Caught this up in Edinburgh and it is 👌🏼 Hilariously absurd and incredibly moving (and also working class east end story ✊🏼)

It's not viable for most people regardless! But for a parent that can't shoulder risk and instability, I'm not surprised
