Such an important display and helping to drag the display of public collections (and attitudes) into the 21st century after ignorance for far too long 🔥

Come and see this stunning portrait and explore the @TextileBiennial exhibition at Haworth Art Gallery and Artists' Studios!

If you want to know someone’s ethnicity ask them “What’s your ethnicity?” Ask exactly what you mean so they don’t have to go through 3 rounds of awkward questioning just to get the information you were curious about.

Thank you very much Caroline and Dave of Huckleberry Films who made a fabulous film about my installation Lost Threads at Gawthorpe Hall Barn for @TextileBiennial.

This is Oslo’s new PUBLIC LIBRARY. It’s unbelievable. Completely free, open to everyone until 10pm every day. There is a wine bar. Views to die for. All the books.
