Rose-Tinted Glasses, Rolled Up Sleeves and Fish Finger Sandwiches: What It’s Like Falling In and Out of Love During Lockdown
Fri 12 Feb 2021Being in love is gripping. It grasps at your heart as it falls into your throat, fills your lungs as you breathe in the moments, and sinks into your fingers, so imprinted you can’t let go. During this past year, we’ve all come to rely on it as everything else around us falls down and tightens up. But this year of instability forced me to let go of collapsing cliffs and find the joy of carving out new shapes. And so I embarked on a year of love lessons during lockdown...
The Pythian Club's Benjamin Rosser on His Time in Nottinghamshire Police and the Removal of Statues
Fri 03 Jul 2020Not only did the death of George Floyd spark anti-racism protests all over the globe, it placed the role of the police in society under a level of scrutiny never seen before. While Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin replicated an event that has become depressingly commonplace in the United States, protests in Britain had large elements of anti-police sentiment to them. Having spent ten years as a member of Nottinghamshire Police before leaving to establish The Pythian Club – an organisation set up to enrich and empower young people in Nottingham – community leader Benjamin Rosser is uniquely placed to offer an insight into the inner workings of the British police force…
“All my life I’ve been taught that the police won’t help me” – Artist and activist Kay on George Floyd, police brutality and the ongoing protests in Britain…
Sat 06 Jun 2020For many, the death of George Floyd was quickly contextualised as an American problem. Stories of racial profiling and police brutality have grown to become expected from a country that seems more divided than it has been in a generation, leaving many in Britain feeling disgusted at how things are done on that side of the Atlantic. But, as the events of the last week have shown, the illusion that issues raised from Floyd’s killing are consigned to the US has been roundly smashed, with thousands taking to the streets in eighteen countries around the world (as well as all fifty US States) to support the Black Lives Matter campaign, which is now considered the largest Civil Rights campaign in history. Growing up in the projects of Alameda, California to Eritrea-born parents, artist and activist Kay – who works under the name The Rainbow Prince – has seen the way police brutality and racism takes form on both sides of the pond, having moved to Nottingham six months ago. And as Notts gets ready to play its part in the movement with a protest on Sunday 6 June, we talk to Kay about why activism is important in the UK…
