Palestinians being subjected to genocide have every right to speak! & request support in any form they like! One of the Palestinian a/cs removed here was Anas al-Sharif’s.

Everything green will go, part ‘restored’ w new trees but a huge chunk lost. Southwark Council doing their utmost to bake people at home & when they step out! They want to cut a road thru this to that little bin store on the R vs pull bins/store kerbside!? 🤪🤬

'I’m running in an actual place, which is how I knew that George Habash Square exists. Many believe the sign has been removed, disallowed, banned but here it is: no-one surrendered. I half ran out here & there it was standing up against the Settlements in the Palestinian hills' In Ramallah, Running.

Be sure not to miss Hamad Butt: Apprehensions at Whitechapel Gallery only until 7 September!
His Familiars -shown at Milch in 1992!- fill the downstairs gallery with earlier work like this upstairs plus an archive room.
Hearty nod to Jean Fisher who was instrumental in getting Tate to acquire🙏

Hadn’t been drawn to the Royal Acad for many years & found -on an Almanac & I scout- very strange indeed. Came away with strong evidence of not* being a leaf-firster though… (the last one is titled ‘… under the Linden tree’. Clearly unobsessed ;)

The UK backed Israel’s genocide from the beginning and now has the disgusting nerve to call/charge those who object to it ‘terrorists’.
I didn’t think there could be anywhere worse or more indelibly wretched to go but -after much consideration- they found it!
