Went to bed last night with a strange twitching in my arm, which Google tells me is a result of overcaffeination. Had the best time at my first Historical Materialism Conference - challenging, rewarding and, somehow, hopeful - and am already looking forward to next year's. @histmat.bsky.social

Support the Historical Materialism project and nab one of David Mabb's beautiful prints at our reception desk.
Recently found in the bottom of a cupboard, four original Historical Materialism prints from 2010. Originally sold for £75 in an edition of 100 (not 200) the print has been sold out for 14 years. Now priced at £200 all proceeds go to HM (not me). If you would like one, please go to HM reception.
