A sublime new exhibition ⁦British Library⁩ on the #SilkRoadOasis Dunhuang & the Mogao caves. Extraordinary treasures from the famous Cave 17 which was home to 70,000 manuscripts and more written information about medieval Asia (and beyond) than any site in the world.

A treat to be at the launch of Furnace Fruit exhibition last night - a body of work by Karanjit Panesar inspired by the stories of Punjabi workers in British foundries. It’s the second Collections in Dialogue artist commission from British Library and Leeds Art Gallery.

In light of this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… I am reposting my thread about how we need to take Period pain MORE seriously not LESS. The solution is NOT to force girls in pain to attend school. The solution is to fucking address their pain so they don't lose days every month.
