I hate exhibition titles

my inner monologue has just been ‘all the girls are girling girling’ for about 6 months now

a card announcing summer morales is the 59th grant recipient, with a blurry picture of summer

every month we give £500 to a creative whose work we wanna see more of. this month it's Summer Moraes. read her short story KORN QUORN MAN on the homepage through august: thewhitepube.co.uk

the shortlisted books for the Bread and Roses Award are seen in a pile: Pleasure Gardens, Shoulder to Shoulder, Race and Education, Intervals, Everything to Play For, Seven Children, Poor Artists and Defiance. Above them, a quote from Meera Ghanshamdas, Chair of Judges, reads "This is my second year working on the Bread and Roses award, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I have had while working in books. The titles chosen for this year by our tremendous panel of judges are at the forefront of radical political conversation within their field, approaching their subject matter with nuance and sensitivity." Below the quote is the logo for the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, which consists of black, red, green and purple triangles.

In front of Lighthouse Bookshop, which has a green wall on which is written "Look after each other", stands Mairi, Lighthouse's owner. Mairi has short ginger hair and is wearing a stripy top, and Mairi is holding the shortlisted books for the Bread and Roses Award: Pleasure Gardens, Shoulder to Shoulder, Race and Education, Intervals, Everything to Play For, Seven Children, Poor Artists and Defiance. In the upper right-hand corner is the logo for the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, which consists of black, red, green and purple triangles.

The judges for the 2025 Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing are delighted to announce the 2025 shortlist! breadandrosesprize.wordpress.com/2025/07/24/b...

Immersive Quarries. — Good Afternoon The 50 million year long story about why the world was inundated with indistinguishable Immersive Van Gogh exhibitions in the 2010s.

A while ago, in a blissful moment of procrastination I dared ask

"Why did Van Gogh become the poster child for immersive experiences in the 2010s?"

Well, in order to answer this question we first need to go back 50 million years to when France was underwater

Ellie Roswell on stage at radio 1 big weekend photographed via the big screen to the side of stage where she is seen sitting down while she sings

This week’s review is Radio 1’s Big Weekend, writing about Wolf Alice, Courting, Joy Crookes and HAIM & also about Ed Atkins book Flower 🌷 thewhitepube.co.uk/texts/2025/r...

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.
