Israel is trying to rewrite history – and British institutions risk helping them do it Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites like the ancient Palestinian tow…

The term ‘ancient Palestine’, as many ancient historians…have agreed, conveys the true multiculturalism of ancient Palestine. It is the best way to reject the weaponizing of ancient heritage for ethnonationalist and genocidal purposes’

How the Tube became London’s biggest art gallery Eleanor Pinfield, director of Art on the Underground, talks to Apollo about the challenges of commissioning art for a subterranean audience

The London Underground has, over the past 25 years, hosted works by some of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. Eleanor Pinfield, director of Art on the Underground, talks to Apollo about why preserving public art is becoming an ever more urgent task

Relieved to see the Edward Burra at Tate Britain before it closed. Fascinating show packed full of great paintings, from 1920s Paris to 1970s Cornwall (via Harlem, Rye and 1930s Spain).

Clifford Wight painted several murals in Coit Tower; this one, measuring approximately 4 feet by 10, shows a full-length portrait of a steelworker, who is wearing heavy gloves, bib overalls, and a light tan sweater over a collared shirt. On a leather belt slung at a jaunty angle across his waist, there are two large open-ended wrenches. His right hand is grasping a hose or cable, while the left is holding a rivet gun. Under a steel hard hat, the expression is somewhat grim, with deep lines etched connecting nose to chin.

This is the first union job I've had so I needed to share this mural today; it was linked to its neighbor with a banner that read "Workers of the World Unite" until it was painted over by censorious jerks
