This work draws on journeys along the East African and Omani coast (2008–10), supported by @CloreLeadership, reflecting on how memory travels across generations and geographies. #IntangibleHeritage #CulturalMemory

Pleased to share my essay “The Doors of Perception – Carved Doors and the Indian Ocean Slave Trade” published in @SeaVoiceOrg’s East Africa special edition. seavoice.org/volumes/east-a… #Diaspora #EastAfrica

Clinton was only 23 when his life was cut short in 1987 during a tragic incident in police custody at a Wolverhampton store. The memorial Campaign will honour his life, call for truth, and bring healing to a community still seeking justice. @ppvernon gofundme.com/f/remembering-…
