@NPGLondon Incredible musician and an art work that totally captures a moment in time.

Acquired last year as part of the gallery’s Inspiring People project, our #portraitoftheday features Stormzy, the first black British solo musician to headline Glastonbury in 2019. 📸Stormzy by Mark Mattock, 2019 © Mark Mattock

Lovely to see art work made by a fab group of young women and artist Tasha Whittle @mcrartgallery featuring here!

So humbling to hear from the people talking about their experiences of supporting young people and their families when they are in most immediate need. Let’s make a future where yp don’t need to learn to be resilient to a world that’s hostile. #whatkindofcity

Amazing, incredible, magical things happen when people come together in places where creativity and care is at the centre #galleries @mcrartgallery @WhitworthArt #whatkindofcity

Loving the talk of alliance, having a safe space, taking the mic, talking to people in power. Bringing people together to share, show support and care for one another is 100% the role of art and galleries. #whatkindofcity @WhitworthArt @mcrartgallery

Everyone’s gone into break out chats now. Thoughts: nurture and the soul caring for youth workers giving young people the skills they need to deal with everything they are exposed to via social media life skills including financial management @WhitworthArt #whatkindofcity

Great convo going on about youth agency @WhitworthArt #whatkindofcity with Suzanne Lacy. So thrilled I can watch this from home in the company of my (really young person) preschooler. Catch it live on YouTube. @mcrartgallery @MADE_Mcr

@KHemingwaynews @GMB Doesn’t look that long for me. The queues at the tills are longer than that on a normal morning.

Large queues are forming outside Primark in Liverpool as non essential retail reopens for the first time since January. More on @GMB

Unexpected views are monthly conversations between our curators and some of the most important cultural practitioners of today. On 17 Feb we'll be talking to @haroldoffeh, an artist working in a range of media including performance, video & photography: bit.ly/2PllM1J

youtu.be/0UlHlOznDX8 Grayson’s been putting on a show @mcrartgallery We’re also doing our own art clubby spin off so make some art with a #Manchester vibe then pop it on Insta with the hashtag #MAGartclub It will go on the screen in the exhibition and on the website.

Third reference today re the influence of mums at today’s #museums2020 conference - 💪 to the mums and a reminder how much our home culture forms our identities and outlook through our lives.

You’re very welcome. You were really generous and honest with what you shared.

@jon_sleigh the way you have talked about the ‘off the spreadsheet’ emotional and holistic journey we go through as practitioners has really resonated with me today. And I now see it as a way to take more people with me. Thanks :)

@tehm @SirGeoffPalmer Yes I definitely see museums and galleries as spaces for social exchange.

@tehm @SirGeoffPalmer Was just about to google this so thank you. I’ll share with colleagues. There is so much good intention within our org but also feels like we don’t know where to begin. Of course, we have begun and discussions go back years but we now have a renewed urgency.
