Etching out new forms of family (for better or worse) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some artists’ reputations precede them to the extent that the prospect of seeing an exhibition by them is not as exciting as it perhaps should be, particularly when they are no longer alive. During a recent visit to the coastal town, I visited Hastings Contemporary, which like Turner Contemporary in Margate is located directly facing the sea, and its surroundings are a great source inspiration for all forms of creative outputs. When I arrived and saw that the themes of this brief exhibition of w

There are so many words said, so many reports released, stating the mental and emotional decline of people around the world. Barely a day goes by without mention of the loneliness epidemic, stratospheric demand in mental healthcare for people of all ages, and the list goes on.

Rebuilding a Love of Art: Episode One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Art schools, and the communities within them, are going through a hard time. With their funding in dire straits (along with most other colleges and universities), the unhelpful rhetoric around ‘Mickey Mouse degrees’ are now ensuring that marginalised young people are fear-mongered away from studying and producing the arts. This has been the same story for many years now, whereby traditional forms of employment (and most importantly, being able to pay back that student loan) have been front of mi
