You should see the hard eye roll I do every time my boss tells me about his latest run and yet this was one of the most touching and enjoyable episodes I have had the pleasure to record.

Mentioned in the previous episode so I checked up on the current state of the Haringey Repair Cafes and I was pleased to see how professional they have gotten since I last looked at them.

This lecture performance by artists Zarina Muhammad and Tini Aliman draws from and unfolds from fragments from each of the auto-ethnographic aspects of Zarina and Tini's respective practice.

Two Planets | Desire Deny Defy: Chris Baker, Pasuk Phongpaichit 1:18:46

5M ago1:18:46

1:18:46

Desire is both powerful and fundamental. In old Siam, the expression of desire in words and pictures was open, celebratory and humorous. Among non-elite women, sexuality was seen as a strength and was something that was not confined to the young. Royals were portrayed as passionate. However, modernity brought about change. Some sought to deny the p…

I learned so much during my conversation with Samantha for this episode. You know how certain causes just really move you, this is one of them.

Are we all ready for some Tottenham Talking (with South London trying to blend in)?

Photography has been seen on the walls of the art museum since the 1930s.

1:37:39

To dwell on the questions concerning Islam and Islamic religiosity/spirituality is to acknowledge its position in mainstream art historical narratives and museological practices.

Litter and Red Lines versus the Healing Energy of Rivers - Wendy Charlton, Artist 35:00

"Broadwater Farm" has become shorthand for many people particularly outside of Tottenham for something very different to most people who actually live there or nearby.
