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.

"Finding connections and resonances between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries can be of merit and encourages reflexivity. The V&A’s display makes enigmatic and valuable contributions to the debate."

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.
