Give this a read, well worth your time on a Friday afternoon, a great spotlight on #ebookSOS
Very good points raised by @Hohojanna, @rachelsbickley, and @heroicendeavour, all of whom are champions of this issue and fighting very hard to make changes

Self Portraits weren't really a thing until the Renaissance. Hieronymus Bosch snuck one into the Hell section of his The Garden of Earthly Delights (1490). One of my students challenged me to recreate it as one of my #selfisolationselfportraits
