Galleries, Get it Together! (a guest episode from Art Assassins)
We have a cheeky bonus guest episode from Art Assassins, a collective based out of South London Gallery. They’ve been investigating the role galleries play in public life and they’ve put their research together in this episode -- enjoy & we will catch u next week! If you want a peep at the transcript, it's available on the white pube website :) A note from Art Assassins >> "Galleries, Get it Together!" is a collaborative podcast created by South London Gallery based art collective “Art Assassins”, Audio Artist Weyland Mckenzie-Witter and Researcher Dr. Patria Roman-Velazquez with the aim of exploring the question: "What does an equitable and community-led Gallery look like and what stories should be told?"Through weekly gatherings over 9 weeks, the group set out to interview: artists, (both independent and institutional) art workers and friends and family both native and new to South London. The result is an amalgamation of conversations and sound bites from all over, sharing different perspectives but also setting out to answer the question with the intention of implementing change within cultural institutions. Despite the range of participants and contributors coming from different backgrounds it is made painfully clear that an immense change is needed across the London art sphere and so the Art Assassins titled their podcast: “Galleries, Get it Together!” Image/graphics credit: Esme Wedderburn
ART! on the Underground!

ART! on the Underground!
This week's text is about all the art on the Underground, London's public transport network. A kind of love letter to it all, but also thinking about art's role in public life! Read on the website: thewhitepube.co.uk/art-reviews/art-on-the-underground Israel continues to commit horrific acts of violence and genocide against the Palestinian people, Gaza is still under blockade and potentially facing a ground invasion. Please email ur MP, if you haven't already, and ask them to call for a ceasefire & to stop the war in Gaza. ALSO! on the subject of art x public transport: Banner Repeater is an artist-led contemporary art space & artists' publishing archive, they're based on platform 1 at Hackney Downs station -- at the moment they're doing some fundraising to cover running costs & repairs. You can buy an artist print, here's one of mine actually from back when i was an artist!!! -- very limited edition and rare! because the un-Publish project I did with them was my last project as an artist! If that's not ur bag, there are other prints available on their online shop. And if you'd rather just sling over a cute fiver and call it a day, they're taking donations on Open Collective. B/R are a non-profit and do some really cool work, & small orgs do not receive nearly as much public funding as they should! so **thank you** in advance for helping to support artist-led publishing! Finally, **thank you to Jessica Vaughan from Art on the Underground for taking the time to speak to me -- our interview was the basis for this text.** If you've never noticed the art on the underground -- AotU have got an ART MAP!!!, but you can also have a look through their project archive.
