@HURA_UK are very sad to learn of the death of Bruno Latour. His work a great inspiration to Lindsay and her thesis. One of a kind RIP.
1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.
Amazing work by @ForensicArchi do look it up. The accompanying New York Times video about is also well worth watching. Tireless work by Louisiana historians and archaeologists also to highlight these serious issues and the lost cemeteries. #lostcemeteriesofenslavedpeople
Our latest investigation is out. With @risestjames, we built tools to find lost cemeteries of enslaved people threatened by industry in Louisiana’s ‘Death Alley’ and used fluid dynamics to evidence the impact of toxic petrochemicals on Black communities. forensic-architecture.org/in…

hare far and wide. An integral part of our society should not be disregarded like this. They allow creativity, critical thinking and much more and should be for all. Lockdown has shown how vital they are to wellbeing in society. #artandculture #heritage #saveartsandhumanities
This is urgent! The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the @Public_Campaign for the Arts to tell @GavinWilliamson: arts education matters. Will you join too? campaignforthearts.org/petit…

This is brilliant and much needed. #Heritagehealth #mentalhealth #wellbeing #positiveeffectsofheritage #connectedness
All those projects and policies in the heritage sector, but do we really undertake the necessary impact assessments? The toolkit developed by @Andy_Pen_Health is a fantastic resource to help understand wellbeing, on which heritage has the greatest potential for positive impact.
Lovely new blog here.
Do you like books? And are you interested in death? Dead Good Reading might be the blog for you! Starting next week I will post a weekly review of a book (academic or otherwise) related to death, dying or the dead. Happy Reading!

We absolutely love @NationalGallery thoughtful selection for their painting of the month as we emerge from the Lockdown. A really lovely, considered choice. #artandheritageinlockdown #importanceandvalueofartandculture #thoughtfulcuration #COVID19 #canaletto
It’s 16 August. Perhaps 1735. We are in Venice, amongst a crowd celebrating the feast day of Saint Roch; a festival held in recognition of the saint’s role in bringing an end to the plague of 1576, almost 150 years earlier. Let's take a closer look: bit.ly/3tCzMFU

The first Black actor to play the title role in Othello on Broadway, Paul Robeson was a vocal supporter of civil rights, refused to sing before segregated audiences and spoke out against segregation in the South.
He was born #OnThisDay in 1898.
