Came across this today - a haunting reminder of what speaking out can do

Opening on #NationalPoetryDay, Shilpa Gupta's exhibition includes an immersive installation of 100 microphones suspended above 100 metal spikes, each piercing a page inscribed with a fragmented verse of poetry by a poet incarcerated for their work, writings or beliefs.

Today is World AIDS! Much is to be applauded - great progress in controlling the disease, freeing us to love freely once more - but a cure or vaccination is not in sight! May AIDS be, ever-increasingly, a thing of the past, an unforgettable / unforgivable, memory!😭 RIP ⚰️

Very excited to see my pamphlet taking shape, almost ready to join @brokensleep ‘s brilliant library. And @GodzillaKent your cover design is extraordinary, windpipe against the spine - I love it 🙏
COVER REVEAL: In Vital Capacity Fiona Larkin explores the centrality of breath, the myths & stigmas of TB, the shame attached to acknowledging a disease of poverty, the political question of who can access medical treatment, & the multiple interpretations of breath. 28/02/2022

A strong addition to your COP26 reading plans: STRANGERS is thoughtfully written by @RebTamas and brilliantly published by @makinabooks. It's a beautiful thing and feels apt reading as winter draws in 🍂
