In a very special review-essay for @BSECS Criticks, Karen Lipsedge & Miriam Al Jamil use the @V_and_A's "Between Two Worlds" exhibition as a springboard into discussion of the need to uncover the forgotten & overlooked stories of the peoples & objects hiding in plain sight.

@janerace Why are they not happy about the festivities? You should tell them to enjoy themselves.

✨Powerful Rocks✨A brief history of gemstone amulets at the V&A — the incredible web team @V_and_A really brought these treasures to life in a bobby-dazzler of a vid m.youtube.com/watch?v=kqa09K… Produced & Directed by @hollyhyams & Hannah Kingwell; camera & edit by Marco Carini

We helped make a thing – and I think it's a bit amazing. Many thanks to many people. Helps if you like Donatello. vam.ac.uk/articles/explo…

@Ravilious2 @V_and_A Even after 20(+!) years working in publishing it feels a bit odd to write something. Thank you for the opportunity.

‘Without image making there would be very little publishing at the V&A.’ In his chapter in our book, @tomwindross, Head of Content at @V_and_A, describes how his team work with images of Museum objects, and how their perception of images as ‘assets’ inscribes their work...🧵

Congratulations to Elizabeth Edwards, @Ravilious2 and their contributors! Their #openaccess book What #Photographs Do: The making and remaking of #museum cultures publishes today! ow.ly/onhR50KrYRy @UCLanthropology @PHRC_DeMontfort @V_and_A

New ASMR at the museum is coming later this pm; reading historic feminist magazines from the 70s and 80s at National Art Library.

It’s decorative gourd season. But how decorative are your gourds? Not as decorative as these gourds I bet. vam.ac.uk/blog/caring-fo…

Just(!) a copy of our book in the Ozwald Boateng window. made me happy.

@StepBD It’s too late. Maybe they’ll let me go back. Oh.

@tomwindross You'd probably be happier not knowing.

Just getting back to London after a few days in Frankfurt. What did I miss?

Ready for the sounds of books? New #ASMR at the museum is out today at 12pm. The first of a new series filmed at the National Art Library with @DrYvard @V_and_A #antiphonary #parchment #choirbook #pageturning

I really need to know whether I’m being shaken or not. I can’t deal with the uncertainty of stop-start shaking. One the other please.

@BrendanCormier Not varnish! Oil! Nice relaxing process. Kind of. Always goes well. No problems or upsets about hot pans. Ever. Or anxiety about water marks. All fine here.

People who buy wooden kitchen countertops either never cook or are masochists.

@Susnah @dragraceukbbc I don’t understand all (much) of this - but I would definitely have practiced before any singing opportunity. Could probably handle the eyelashes as well.

Thank you! A really nice way to mention the @V_and_A on @bookshop_org_UK as well...

Colleague has just said I ‘literally have 2020 vision’. Colleague not funny.

For the last month or so I’ve been being looked after by @nhs @Moorfields - and it is a truly amazing place. Everyone from the people on the doors to the consultants are brilliant.
