YES WE CANNES 🤍🌴 flew out to Cannes Lions to talk all things beauty and think about the ways we can transform our beauty culture from something too often tyrannical and oppressive into something liberatory and joyful ✨✨✨

Last weekend was just so so special. There’s little I enjoy more than genuine connection this years @writingandideas provided more of that than I could have imagined. Lots of deep conversation and top quality craic ✨✨✨full of that sense of wonder possibility, mischief and adventure that is one of the things I remember most fondly about my early teens and is not so common at this age, (although beautifully when you do experience it now, it’s without all the self doubt, insecurity and authoritarianism that can mar youth) an atmosphere strengthened no doubt, by being back in Ireland which is of course where I spent those teenage years. More pics to come but in the meantime BRAVO to Viv, Hugo, Annette, Naoise and everyone else who makes this happen every year. What a truly remarkable and magical place ✨✨✨

July Live Events ! Some goodies here frfr So my mind is actually blown from the scale of this exhibition and the range of Tavares Strachans vision imagination His work is so extraordinary not just for its visual awesomeness expeditionary achievements (from Artic explorations to the launching of satellites) but the fact that all of this is underpinned by epistemic concerns ~ an unsettling of colonial knowledge systems their archives. Strachan’s approach to time; collapsing neat distinctions between past, present and future, as well as its defiance of rigid categorisation makes this ontologically black work, a powerful antidote to the limitations of colonial epistemic traditions! This is one conversation I am hugely excited for 🧠💥 The following day will be in convo discussing one of my favourite novels ; James Baldwin’s Another Country in celebration of the centenary of his birth ! “Explorations of the complexities and dynamics of race, gender and sexuality are central to his work but rather than reify identity, Baldwin unravels it, and in doing so offers profound insights not just into the specificities of the identities he examines, but rather into the very nature of what it is to be human in the 20th century (and presciently the 21st!) Delighted also to the hosting the U.K. BLM National Festival organised in the spirit and radical tradition of Black anti-imperialist conferences that have come before us, such as the fifth Pan-African conference which took place in 1945 it aims to provide a platform for education, organising, and community building through panel talks and workshops and ie designed to bring together Black and anti-imperialist activists and groups in Britain to strengthen anti-racist organising 🖤🖤🖤 WE MOVE 🖤🖤🖤

This week’s Monday Muse is Irish author, academic and broadcaster Emma Dabiri, who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2023. Emma Dabiri is a sought-after speaker, known for her insightful and thought-provoking discussions on race, gender, colonialism, and cultural issues. With a PhD in African Diaspora Studies and extensive experience, Dabiri brings a unique and informed perspective to these complex issues. Dabiri uses her own body as a starting point for powerful explorations into race, gender, social codes and politics. From her tresses in the best-selling “Don’t Touch My Hair” – delving into why Black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation – to her relationship with her own sense of beauty in her must-read new book, “Disobedient Bodies: Reclaim Your Unruly Beauty,” she shows how the personal is political. She tells The Wick why we need to expand our understanding of our minds and bodies, and which artist’s work she’d most like to own. @emmadabiri #thewick #author #broadcaster #mondaymuse #writer
