For the past half a year I've been working on this project to expand on my interests around the British Empire Exhibition. Please share with anyone who you think may want to be involved with our conference in September!
2024 marks the centenary of the opening of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley.
This week, @LSofARCH, in partnership with the @BritishCouncil, launched a Call to Participation for a conference in September, to critically reflect upon the exhibition's legacy.
will never forget being condescendingly told by people in and around the labour party that not voting for them in the next election would make me responsible for the deaths of thousands
it's about time we start fucking up their food after what they've done to us

disclosure – this was made by people I was lucky to work with at @RCAarchitecture, but it's a really great little video essay that really gets what's going on, ideologically, with the Olympic opening ceremony youtube.com/watch?v=m_9Yqpim…
exactly this!!
plugging this video essay (again) that I worked on with some friends last year that explores the ceremony itself and the discourse around it

recently scouring through some Indonesian YouTube cooking videos and they also refer to Kecap Inggris, or 'English sauce', it's a whole thing!!

aside from the actual issue here, @HackneyAbbott's use of the most egregious photos of the people she's tweeting about is now my favourite tweet format. look at those pixels on all their glory, this is queen shit 👏
imagine thinking 2012 was an idyllic British moment. just a year after the London Riots, two years after student protests for the trebling of tuition fees, and the beginnings of austerity.
check out this video essay I worked on which unpacks some of this

how can you seriously say that "we are not a 'papers please' society" literally a week after we have passed a bill that could arbitrarily strip me of my citizenship without notice because I was born abroad? kmt are these people actually this dumb?
