‘I find the middle-class arts world that I move through is just as racist and sexist as the working-class world I grew up in; but at least on the estate people said what they meant, and had the arguments.’ So so true. theguardian.com/stage/2018/jun…

We are really looking forward to this event which will be coming through Newkirkgate Shopping Centre in August! #Leith #Festival2018 @edfringe @LeithChooses @filmhubscotland twitter.com/LeithCreative/…
