London GLAM peeps! Would you be interested in a regular, informal meet up? Let's say, once a month after work at a venue in central London. No agenda, just a get together.

I managed to catch "120 Years of Brücke, 120 Berliners, 120 Art Works" before it closed at the Brücke Museum. It was a lovely example of how a multiplicity of voices in an exhibition enriches the experience of visitors, and provided food for thought on co-curation. rachelsouhami.com/2025/07/08/1...

If you haven't completed already, this week of extra time would be a great moment to. We need data to demonstrate the state of the sector robustly, this year and over time, and we can't do that without sector input.

Landmark exhibition - Transcestry - celebrates 10 incredible years of the Museum of Transology. Who could have known a decade ago - when the first objects were collected - how much we would need this 1000 object manifestation of trans joy and resilience in 2025. Unmissable. ❤️❤️❤️

Access isn’t a luxury - it’s what levels the playing field so disabled artists can thrive.
