Inspiring weeked: Sarah Ryder talk about her painted foil sculptures (pictured) recently on show at Exeter Phoenix and then, today, director Ben Wheatley in a Q&A following a screening of his wondrous new film BULK. That thing about working to limitations, not giving up when faced with them...

"A dark secret in the conservation world..." I've just seen Abraham Joffe's amazing documentary #TradeSecret about the world's failure to prevent polar bear hunting - and the surprising reason why. Recommended. www.tradesecretfilm.com

I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too? action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/...

Just saw the campaigning film #systemupdate at the Futures festival in Exeter. It's left me sad, angry ... and motivated. Only radical shifts in political, economic and social systems can properly address the climate emergency (and give us all a better life) www.climate.film

To my dear US friends, here's one of the reasons you're not part of my holiday plans this year.

"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Very happy to be part of this exhibition 31st May - 28th June at Studio KIND

Feel like Labour should be standing in the middle of the road ringing an old timey bell and generally making sure absolutely everyone hears about this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

Along with improving access, education, funding etc we need to talk about cultural capital - invisible to those who have it; unattainable for those who don't. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Fragile, luminous forms made of wax and paper seem poised on the brink of collapse. Amazing work by sculptor #JaneJobling shown in the protective shell of #VitrineExeter.

"Culture creates the climate for emotion and memory, imprints national myths, and – often intangibly – acts on politics." Charlotte Higgins on The Guardian www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here's a taste of The Signal and the Noise, a new moving image work that explores the legacy of the World War II engineer and paranormal researcher Alec Harley Reeves, and his collaboration with the spirit of a dead physicist: Michael Faraday. *Warning: flashing images* vimeo.com/1046821425/2...

Had a fab time at #TwoShortNights (Exeter Phoenix), soaking up everything from serious docs to hilarious improvised micro-dramas in the #48hourfilmchallenge I especially liked Ieuan Coombs' Old School, Alice Clough's Stable Speak, Sapphire Medeema's A Year and a Minute, and ratbird's Dead Wife Hug.

I absolutely loved this film, which documents a lockdown project to stage Hamlet in Grand Theft Auto, all filmed in GTA. Hilarious, poignant and genuinely mind-expanding. youtu.be/MLpGIHjwhNE

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

Whoah! This piece on the Observer newspaper's capture by global oil interests is explosive! Written by investigative journo & Observer insider Carole Cadwalladr, it paints an incredibly gloomy picture of the future of independent newspapers. Gulp! broligarchy.substack.com/p/who-is-the...
