WOW! 30 years ago - I was the opening DJ for the closing of the M41 to have a massive street party 📸 ShepherdsBush - Jul96 (photo: A.Smith) #ReclaimTheStreets #OldSchool #DirectAction

On board a lorry carrying a soundsystem and decks, I am sat down cuing up D.note’s Criminal Justice (Guy Called Gerald Mix) this moment comes after we were raided as we tried to switch on in situ,I got arrested, taken down the road whereupon I was de arrested and had to bomb it back to the party wagon which by now was surrounded by people attending the Reclaim The Streets Party that the cops had just failed to shut down so were allowing to go ahead. I got back on the decks which were on the floor ffs and proceeded to play a 90 set of break beat techno and jungle… Happy Daze

Unheard Stories Exhibition as seen from the back of the Civic Hall 📸 Stalybridge - Jul26 #Cabasa #Art #Liminal #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBehind

a view from the rear of a large hall with light pouring through the rafters casting shadows. In the foreground is a large metallic sculpture of a woman draped in hand dyed cloth. On the walls are large format photos of women in body paint celebrating feminine beauty in the face of health challenges such as endometriosis and pregnancy. The sessions provided a space to heal as well as explore creatively.
