Presenting my first conference paper wasn’t as scary as I had thought! Such a great time speaking about Mina Loy’s ‘Surreal Scene’ and her concerns over the use of women’s bodies in art. Thank you @annadevs.bsky.social and @david-strong.bsky.social for such a brilliant day all about Collective Forms

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

This is insane. I know every uni says this, and they’d likely be right, but (aside from stellar international rep) UEA really is so important for the region. Many really great people are going to get shafted here.
