Hello! Would you like to sew with me?
I'm running a sewing workshop to explore the connections between coal, poetry, environment and domesticity. I'd love it if you signed up here: sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/what… 🪨🪡

Great start to day 2 of #SharcTales3 with keynote from @katiecmoliver on city chickens & multi species design - centring the lives lived by animals is crucial. Hats off to @ShefAnimals team for putting this event together
On our way to @Bramptoncoll for Literature and Environment Day! Looking forward to talking about coal and slime in Germinal (as always) 🪨🐌💚 @emjlynajsh

Finally, Indigo Gray is talking about SLIME, mining, deformation, and slimy bodies in Emile Zola’s Germinal. Gray shows how integral slime is to the origins of coal and both the mine and miners’ bodies ‘devolve’ and dissolve into mud, phlegm, water, and slime #BSLSWS2022 – at Poplar, London

another wonderful panel with papers from Daniel Abdalla, Harriet Thompson and Indigo Gray which made me think particularly about countering received narratives of progress with regard to industry, and how the material can help us get there #BSLSWS2022
Talking about slime :)
The revolutionary slime rises through the characters to a brimming 'army of vengeance', threatening the stability of the capitalist regime. Gray concludes by showing how slime forms discomforting rivers between miners and their environment. Thanks, Indigo!
