Glad to hear Sharon Heal state the MAs clear backing for continued work that deals with histories of empire and slavery through museums, rightly seeing this as essential in ensuring museums work to counter racism, including structural racism, in the present.

Ducked out from the busyness of #Museums2024 to visit the Quiet Room.
I first suggested creating this space when I attended Liverpool in 2021. It has been great to see it become more refined each year.
I recommend a visit to this space for anyone who needs some quiet time. ☺️
ALT Quiet Room sign. It reads: "quiet room: please do not use this space for conversations with others or phone calls and ensure that the volume of any electronic equipment is turned off".

"Time spent talking and understanding is time well spent"
Really powerful point about mental welfare, support and communicating in relationship building with communities and colleagues in the workforce.
The focus on wellbeing & stepping away when needing is great.

Ezra Kingston, community co-producer, speaks of ambition to give power to communities, acknowledges that they're on the journey to full co-production. "We're not there yet" - very familiar!

Closing tip from Jamie Taylor, Director of Collections at Thackray:
"Make time for the process. Believe that the meandering is important for the creativity" of the outputs.
Great to hear this celebration of the creative joys of working collaboratively!

"The system isn't broken, it was built this way."
Solidarity with Grenfell families and community and everyone still victim of a housing system that is fixated on profit and greed.

hard not to feel anything but overwhelming anger at the findings of the inquest and the “cavalier” attitude to the safety of overwhelmingly black and brown working class londoners, all thrown away in the pursuit of profit and neoliberalism. theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

“In one block of seven flats owned by Mr Athwal nearly half the tenants said they had to regularly clean their bathroom ceilings to remove mould”.
Labour MPs now include slum landlords. Incredible. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyg…

Absolutely shameful that someone @NUFC has given the go ahead for the stadium to be used as backdrop for a tory leadership advert.
This place means something to fans. This cheapens it, degrades it and reflects a total lack of respect for what the ground symbolises to so many.
