I am proud that @RotherGreens have issued a statement condemning the proposed centre, not out of fear of asylum seekers but because we need to treat people seeking refuge in our country far better than this. @TheGreenParty #RefugeesWelcome

.@anthonyjoshua ahead of your fight in Saudi Arabia, will you speak up for Abdullah and Mohammed? They're two young men facing the death penalty. They were 14 and 15 years old when they were arrested and tortured.  Speaking up could help save their lives. #JoshuaUsyk2

Hey folks. Looking for a lighting/video designer. With heavy emphasis on video for an RnD in Brighton. Any thoughts?
What an amazing beautiful life giving space. So honoured to have had time here to play, imagine and move. It had been so long since I had worked physically having that space with no pressured outcomes was life giving. Opening. Thank you #NDT
Having supported 8,800+ artists, today we hand back the keys to NDT Broadgate, marking the end of our 10th Anniversary season. On Monday we'll announce something scary, but very necessary - so for today, we're inviting your memories from a year at Broadgate and a decade of NDT.

Update on Whitstable Biennale 2022 Last week, there was an extensive fire at one of our venues for this year's Biennale. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but the building was heavily damaged and has since been demolished.

ASOS has replicated yet another one of my designs. IYAH was dedicated to my children, a continuation of kindred bonds, the history of the cowrie shell and the symbolism they hold. See the shell placement, colour and name they used for a design that means the world to me.
