Police in the UK surveilled British Black activists for decades as part of an operation known as the Black Power Desk. A new musical inspired by the covert operation is now showing in London. For more tune into my report up shortly on @TheWorld f/t @kehinde_andrews @AfroBabb

STARS is a bold, joyful Afrofuturist play celebrating Black, Queer empowerment through space travel, pleasure, mythology, and feminist liberation. At Brixton House from June 5 to June 28. Tickets: brixtonhouse.co.uk/shows/sta… More: therapup.tv/stars-an-afrofut… Winner of the 2024 Offies 'Best New Play', it follows an old woman, Mrs, who travels into outer space in search of her lost orgasm. Blending African mythology, intersex and feminist themes, the show is performed by one woman with a live DJ, animated projections, and music from Sun Ra, Jamila Woods, and Floating Points. Both hilarious and moving, STARS is described as a ā€œconcept album on stageā€ā€”an experimental journey of touch, liberation, and reclaiming joy. A club night follows select shows.

Helena was our champion. Organisations like Kali give people their first ever chance, their first jobs -when you're not really anybody, they see you. South Asian women and people including were given their firsts by Kali because of Helena. You gave us access, trust & heart.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk says that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is at its darkest moment yet and warns of potential crimes against humanity: "Unimaginably, the situation is getting worse by the day. The Israeli Government’s policies and practices in northern Gaza risk emptying the area of all Palestinians. We are facing what could amount to atrocity crimes, including potentially extending to crimes against humanity.ā€ ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

I actually need journalists and MPs to talk about the terrifying rise of ā€œrent to rentā€ because people are renting properties privately from landlords and then subletting them to OUR COUNCILS as social housing and then pocketing profit

Taking this piece into a prison and chatting to the residents about what came up for them this morning was a beautiful thing. And on Friday I get to go back in and watch the art they've made in response with @GeeseTheatre What a privilege it is to be a storyteller!
That's a wrap on the heritage tour of Please Do Not Touch, hosted by @NTmidlands, thank you to everyone who joined us at Upton House & Gardens! The show heads into a prison today, with the support of @GeeseTheatre, who will facilitate performances & workshops with prison inmates.
