Some highlights from the fantastic Design and Disability show at the V&A: Jo Spence’s art therapy, spikes to protect wheelchair users from unwanted touching, why the white cane can’t get any better, adaptations for everyday living, an inclusive architecture course in the 1960s, an inclusive housing scheme.
Looking forward to the More than Human show at the Design Museum / the modernist have a new book about Mary de Saulles‘s work for BAE but she doesn’t have a wikipedia page / Donald Trump’s oral obsessions might explain everything (or nothing) / a lecture on Pasolini / I found an album of the first Papercamp back in 2009 / pointed to participatory data governance in a meeting this week / was reminded of the genuis of Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit this week / so looking forward to the Jenny Saville show / I need to find out if someone makes Lupis in London / I’ve been listening to Benjamin Britten a lot this week and I can see the parallels with John Williams and film soundtracks of my youth.
In job search news, I have an interview next week. That’s three recruitment processes I’m either in the middle of or starting. I have no idea if that’s too many or not enough. Some fractional freelance work might also land quite soon which will help.
