The range of speakers, the topics being discussed, the depth of care and thought is phenomenal…

Honoured to have presented my work on Where we are… the programme I developed to co-produce arts and cultural projects with young people across the UK

It was a much needed reminder to the true value and impact of our work in the sector against the backdrop of increasing polarisation, ignorance, and hate.

Heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful humans I worked alongside over the past 5 years to create creative, inspiring, and safe spaces for young people. Thank you for how you show up in the world, I continue to learn from you🙏🙏

Fascinating piece of research that I started today on a Divination Instrument made in Syria (probably Damascus) in 1241-1242AD, held British MuseumThe instrument has Arabic inscriptions including poetry that I will be documenting.

بدأت اليوم ببحث وتوثيق جهاز للتنجيم صنع في القرن الثالث عشر الميلادي في سوريا (غالبا في دمشق)، الجهاز موجود بالمتحف البريطاني بلندن ويحتوي على كتابات ونصوص شعرية مكتوبة باللغة العربية.
