And now that I am here! Small reminder that there is just a few weeks left to see BEYOND THE BASSLINE! what a journey it has been so far. thank you to everyone who has visited, shared their thoughts and sent me personal messages reflecting on the journey the exhibition provoked.
in the spirit of bunning Babylon we are not providing all the answers - only a new set of questions that reflect on African and Caribbean musical heritage in Britain. So much thought, hard work and collaboration. So grateful to everyone who made it happen!

2 weeks on a ward now. Unbelievable diagnos(es). Doctors said no chance of me leaving to go to graduation. But for those who know my thesis title, you'll also know I was going to find a way.

Hello everyone. I'm sure, like me, you're devastated by the images we're seeing in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. I've set up a gofundme as a way of starting a roof fund for Carriacou.
Please share and donate however you can x

Thought to be London’s longest-running squat, St Agnes Place became a central meeting point for the Rastafari community in Britain.
We want to record and preserve the memories of St Agnes Place to understand how and why it evolved as a thriving hub of Rastafari activity. SHARE!
