A vase from the Georgian period detailing the three races of man. An uncomfortable piece of ceramic art which forces the museum visitor to think about the invention of race groupings and the theorizing of racism. Two of the 'races' look down with strained uncomfortable faces, whilst the white man looks up (towards God?). All are chained with minute flowers. There was no info with the piece to tell the intention of the artist, supporting or protesting this? A fascinating, confronting piece in the Georgian Era Light and Shade exhibit.
Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery is always thoughtfully curated by a wonderful team. They have a small collection of Native American artefacts which are currently on display, including a magnificent seal gut parka. They have put up poster signage to discuss colonialism, to highlight the Native American voice, and create dialogue about the movement of these items from the tribes to Worcestershire (it was Victorian collector who donated them) and that is such a good approach with a challenging collection. More conversation and reflection on the past is what we need today.
Loved you for ages still thrilling #muse #poetryofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poetry #iursula
When your friend thinks you need a boost... and you find office flowers 😍
Such a relaxing pleasure to drink tea & chat to Charley and Dan for the @tea_biscuits_books_podcast this morning. Tune in soon to hear about my favourite books, favourite biscuit, and the things that influenced my new book of poetry, I, Ursula. #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram
I love this book launch photo, taken by the lovely @charleyblogs , because I look like I am gently patting my dear mum on the head 💜 thank you to everyone who came to listen, my incredible guest speakers who voiced the muses, the flowers and kindness. 🌹🌼🌾
