Amazing talk from Galyna Grygorenko, Deputy Minister of Culture in Ukraine. While their cultural institutions and social spaces are being destroyed they are fighting to preserve (and produce new) cultural life.

David Lynch has probably been my longest-standing and most consistent obsession and absolutely the source of my love of film.
I have spent most of my life excitedly anticipating his next film/show, and it leaves a hole knowing that there won't be another.

I wasn't ready for this exhibition of salt dough figures in Hawkshead last year.
Just been reminded about it - there were some pretty terrifying effigies.

Was lucky enough to see Bob Dylan for the second time this weekend.
Equally spellbinding but entirely different from last time, even though the set list was similar. Looser, louder and more rock n' roll. A real treat.

At the BSA's For Thought event. Great first session on the Future of Education.
Slightly dispiriting reflection that our education systems have hardly changed in the last hundred years - a real challenge to re-imagine how we build our educational institutions.
