I am sharing my latest contribution to @Artforum (Critics' Pick), a review of @EmHesse's solo show at @The_Tetley in Leeds. Such a powerful exhibition! It was an honour and a privilege to write this text. Follow this link to read it: artforum.com/picks/leeds.

Had a great time exploring Emily Hesse: The Witches’ Institution (W.I.) exhibition at @The_Tetley this morning. “The exhibition is envisioned as an exercise in world building, aiming to imagine what a cultural institution run by witches could be.”

"...Light, fiery, bright passages across black seas to darkened moors. One can only think of the whales gliding over what once wasteland where humans hunted, over forests and across old deer paths, a new cetacean empire seized from the metabolism of the soil."

Government say free speech, but if you teach children about the realities of colonialism and alternatives to free market economics they say it’s a threat to British values. Why does free speech only ever come up when it’s to justify bigotry 🙄

60% of the people whose deaths have involved COVID-19 in the UK have been disabled. Many disabled artists fear for their lives right now. I know several who have written their wills. What a huge, disgusting “fuck you” to disabled artists & disability arts Perry’s sentiment is.

I have eaten in Rex Whistler restaurant at Tate Britain. Had no idea famous mural had repellent images of black slaves. Museum management need to move the restaurant. Nobody should be eating surrounded by imagery of black slaves @Tate #BlackLivesMatter
