Sylvia Pankhurst was no stranger to state repression.

Jailed and tortured numerous times for her role as first a suffragette and later a communist revolutionary, she is an important and neglected episode in the history of radical politics in Britain.
Sylvia Pankhurst Was One of Britain’s Great Revolutionaries
Repeatedly imprisoned for the cause, Sylvia Pankhurst was one of the leading figures in the struggle for women’s suffrage in Britain. What many don’t know is that Pankhurst also played an important role in the early history of British communism.

Global majority arts professionals earned less than their white peers last year, as the consequences of wage inflation appear to have had an uneven impact on workers across the sector, according to findings from Arts Professional’s latest Arts Pay Survey.

💯 I spent two weeks and six phone calls to the Home Office trying to get then to link my new passport to my eVisa. The digital ID is such fascist bullshit.

I'd had quite a bit of trouble working out why facilitating participation in museums was tricky so I wrote a book about it. @uclpress.bsky.social @fahacs.bsky.social
The front cover of a book. The title reads Deconstituting Museums: Participation's Affective Work. The image is of old rope, enwtined for strength but now fraying. The image is primarily text. The text reads: 

Over the past 30 years, museums have turned to participation in the hope that direct involvement of non-museum staff would serve their claims to be accessible, inclusive, representative and diverse. And yet, adding participation to museums has often generated conflict, disappointment and anger.

Deconstituting Museums argues that the difficulties produced by adding participatory practice arise from political incompatibility. In the representational liberal logics that underpin museum decision-making, trustees and professionals make decisions ‘on behalf of’ future generations and the public. This is a political infrastructure the book names ‘museum constitution’. Conversely, participation arises from ideas and practices from direct and horizontal political traditions, drawing those who act as facilitators into new relationships and expanding political imaginations.

Through sustained engagement with theories of affect, materialism, and feminist and decolonial praxis, Helen Graham identifies techniques for deconstituting museums. She uses experimental writing as a method to turn away from the desire to right institutional wrongs and towards relational and directly negotiated ways of organising. In doing so she locates participation not as engagement but as a mode of governance that is enabled by, and enables, variant political ontologies. This is an alternative named ‘participatory worlding’. The affective work of facilitating participation has long tugged at and frayed museums’ constitutional liberal logics. Deconstituting Museums envisages how participation and its affects might be activated in reworking the politics of heritage.

What's behind President Trump's executive order deeming anti-fascists to be terrorists? Investigative journalist @willpotter.bsky.social says it's a "radical escalation" in the administration's "war on dissent and the war on protest."
