LITMUS aims to unearth the socio-environmental legacies of cotton. We experimented with interdisciplinary arts-based workshops, burying cotton fabric, connective/collective stitching & more, thinking through materials to imagine impacts near & far.

Join us on 15th October, Queen Street Mill Burnley, 11-3pm for a collaborative stitching workshop. We’ll be working with National Trust Quarry Bank woven cloth, thinking about textiles as methods of connection & repair. britishtextilebiennial.co.uk/workshop/cotto…

Fantastic piece in the Guardian yesterday by Prof. Lyla Metha and Dr Alan Nicol on Water and Sanitation in Gaza. Cutting off water to Gaza is a war crime | Letter theguardian.com/world/2023/oct…

If you don’t understand ‘from the river to the sea’, you don’t understand, ‘always was, always will be’.

🗣️The Mayor, Deputy Mayor and 10 Leaders of Greater Manchester have joined the international calls for a ceasefire by all sides in Gaza.

Well done to Greater Manchester leaders for calling for a ceasefire… It’s taken to long, should also call for end to occupation etc but very welcome and puts pressure on Labour Party to follow suit. The UK is on the UN Security Council so this stuff matters immensely 👏

We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground. This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients. We urge immediate protection
