Really drawn to this mystical embroidery in Citra Sasmita exhibition Into Eternal Land exhibition at the Barbican. The details are incredible. Layered, symbolic, and full of quiet power

Cornelia Parker at @Tate Britain, the undisputed queen of uncovering hidden humour and magic. Really enjoyable.

Loved In the Black Fantastic at Hayward. Beautifully put together. Fantastical vantage points to look back at our own twisted reality from.

Really enjoyed Surrealism beyond borders @Tate ‘as beautiful as a chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table’ #surrealismbeyondborders

Really enjoyed Back to Earth at Serpentine gallery today. An exhibition that’s really embodies it’s mission. Love the manifesto for curating contemporary art in a climate crisis - some real wisdom for all exhibition makers
Visited the Serpentine Pavilion, Black Chapel by Theaster Gates today, loved the structure, super imposing. Pantheon vibes. Wonder what it’s life will be after this?

Perfect timing! 🦅🔭 – at Camberwell, London
Perfect timing! The @Tate Modern has arguably some of the best viewing spots to see London’s majestic Peregrines. They have adapted very well to the historic City and its iconic buildings, and flourish here in our #NationalParkCity. @urbanbirder @ChrisGPackham @LdnPeregrines

Local student, Karim, recently wrote about how he & others from Southwark have done their bit to tackle food poverty during #Covid19UK. Karim has supported us with many essential community donations #continuingtoserve kcl.ac.uk/tackling-food-pove… @serviceatkings
