You Can’t Handle The Truth.
It has been several years now since I started this journey, and I have encountered more frustration than I could have possibly imagined. Embracing my passion for the arts, simultaneously allowed me to pull down the mask and see the world completely unfiltered, but that also meant bearing my own self to the world, perhaps in a way previously unseen.
Nothing About Us Without Us
Yesterday I took a trip to Manchester to visit the People’s History Museum. I have been looking forward to visiting for some time, as it is very relevant to my interests and work in activism and background in sociology and history. My first stop was the temporary exhibition on the ground floor ‘Nothing about us without us’. I was struck firstly by the exhibition poster created by Dolly Sen (2012), depicting a charity collection can - it is wounding to see such imagery, so simple yet effective.
The Case of the Red Shoes
I came across an art installation in the centre of Lancaster earlier this week. I was immediately drawn to it and went over to speak to the artists involved, to find out more.
