A fortnight ago we were at the More In Common and @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social conference in Manchester where we showcased Splott's co-curated pocket museum as a tool for building community togetherness through sharing stories and heritage

Here's Sidney Brown & Joanna Clancy, sisters from Virginia and Orlando respectively, at Cardiff Central this morning
