Solita is a house in collapse, looking out from a Bronze Age burial site to the salty blue of the Mediterranean. It’s a place of pilgrimage for poet @lisamatthewswrites.bsky.social & myself, as artist, and DWELL is a joint exhibition at #bollingtonartscentre - #cheshire Sundays 2-4pm. Bob in!

On Monday the troubled world folded like a moth’s wings for a moment on a train journey. In a flash we read and held each other’s otherness. The woman was a refugee from Bosnia, coming to the UK in 1997. She told me how quick and surprising hate is. We agreed that to read James Baldwin might help.
