It was a real pleasure curating this selection of artists. Check out my accompanying text in the link below. At least half of the selection are artists of colour. Let’s create more spaces to platforms our work, our voices, our bodies. #StandUpToRacism
This month we have invited Artist and Filmmaker @Eelyn1 to curate a selection of Axis Members' work using the Axis Gallery: https://t.co/ciRxbIM5UH 1) The Emerald City 1, 2020 Meera Chauda

It's been a privilege to work with people most affected by health inequalities over past six months to develop our Community Manifesto for Health Justice. The five priorities and many recommendations are a direct result of those community experts. @TheMarmotReview @health_equals
Today we’re launching our Community manifesto for health justice. We need the next government to put in place the building blocks of health. And we need urgent action. 🧵 https://t.co/GE0S8Klwio

This. Remember this moment so well. Articulated what so many of us felt and still feel about the British honours system and the legacies of empire.
Benjamin Zephaniah on his refusal to accept an OBE. 'No way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.' Rest in power.

Such sad news about Benjamin Zephaniah’s passing. In 2008 I filmed him performing his poem Imagine Nation. At the time he would only film in one location - @NewhamBookshop ! Here's some extracts + quote from Refugee Boy & portrait by Adrian Pope Commissioned by @A_New_Direction

Some great talent here 🔥🔥🔥 But where are the East & Southeast Asians (ESEA) on the UK list? On the US list over 30% are ESEA/Asian American with one of them being British ESEA! The British film & TV industries are excluding our stories #eseainclusion #wehavestoriestoo
Introducing this year's extraordinary UK #BAFTABreakthrough talent! 💫 Huge congratulations to the 2023 cohort! Get to know the Breakthroughs below 👇 BAFTA Breakthrough is in partnership with @NetflixUK
