An amazing day recording the sounds of communities across London for our Migration Sounds project, including a Gurdwara in Southall, Bangladeshi tailoring in Bethnal Green, Polish cookery, Cameroonian preachers & a typical west African barber's shop in Peckham 🎧 #fieldrecording

I am now Leader of Hastings Council. Labour are calling this a dodgy deal but refused to be part of unity cabinet.

Yes very different messages coming fro ACE to pay oneself and co artists proper rates. 200 - 350 a day. What a joke more like 150 if you’re lucky! So what do you do when scoping out a project, Put less days in at proper rate or flat fee! Ho hum
@SusanJonesArts @SoniaBoue @UKLabour @ThangamMP I see increasing number of smaller-scale funds for artists which appear to encourage individuals to pya themselves less and rely on volunteer culture. Recent 'grants' from a museum near me (south coast) were £1100 or less per artist in return for quite ambitious project proposals

These are some of the children I met in Gaza a few years ago. They liked to learn, draw & play. I have been thinking of these children, clinging to the hope they are still alive. Do their dreams not matter? Don’t they laugh & cry like other children? Don’t they deserve to live?

Happy #WDPD2023! Cities and Memory started off as a sound project, but today it's a digital archive of 6,000+ sounds from 118 countries, with sounds archived as part of the British Library's digital collection. Digital sound preservation is now at the heart of what we do!

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz
