We took a bit of time out to check out the Laure Prouvost exhibition at Mucem, which resonated a lot with our project themes.

Laura also taught us how to make cynotypes, which use sun and water to make beautiful blue images.

‘The jobless should lead the attack’: a radical Jamaican journalist in 1920s London

On this day in 1890, the great Claude McKay was born.

(My currrent project, with Liminal Waterway Countercultures @liminalwater.bsky.social, is on his post-WWI years between the East End docks & Marseille, including his decolonial ethnography of black & migrant Britain and left communist activism.
