@whitenoisecity @EveWatling Hi, the link is broken and I’d love to know where this quote is from. Can you point me in the right direction please?

"Working-class people’s stories haven’t been documented by working-class people. That was the beauty of my work." Charlie Phillips' portraits of 1970s #NottingHill lay forgotten for decades: whitenoise.city/articles/portr…

And new book chapter! "How Do We Explain Inequality Within Artistic and Cultural Occupations? The Problem of Downward Social Mobility" from the dream team of @markrt @OrianBrook @SocSciMcAndrew and me link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

"enabling brilliant working-class kids to succeed in drama, dance or journalism – their raw talent so obvious, but for too many of whom geography is destiny, we will be a government that walks alongside them" theguardian.com/politics/artic…

“For too long, for too many people, the story we tell ourselves, about ourselves as a nation, has not reflected them, their communities or their lives,” Nandy told staff at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

“To me, the adherence to this language reveals a fallacy in museums’ dedication to inclusivity.” 👊

@Betterhelpers Hi, could you tell me when the next Dippers (3-12months) course begins @AquaticsCentre? We can’t join the January group but would like to join the next one, whenever that may be. Thanks!

This is a wonderful – and incredibly relatable - essay by the great Rachael Allen, on being working-class, the anti-intellectualism and snobbery of the middle-classes, and the deep-seated problems of contemporary publishing tlth.co.uk/difficultandbad
