Early morning meandering thoughts on race, desire and Garvey
Marking difference begets miscommunication, which breeds misunderstanding and could lead to feelings of contempt, hatred and hurt. Yesterday's class on colour, difference, browning and Jamaica was great and very, very interesting, not least of all because of a small breakout session as we discussed with our peers the question ; 'How is mixing problematic in [...]
Life

No end..

MDX LGBT Society Talk About their Film Awareness Video

As well as having a sense of ownership of the atrium spaces in the Grove. Beautiful place to film within, it really should [...]
