Using Dance and Collections to Promote Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in Museums - M Shed Bristol - 26 January 2026 Last month was my final networking session as a champion for the South West Growing Together project, a face to face event at Bristol’s M Shed on working with dance, museums and collections for equity...

A black and white photo of eight men sat down on a grass verge in the 1920s. There is a wooden fence behind them. Most of them are looking at the camera. Several are smoking with pipes and they all are wearing hats. One man, in the bottom right, is staring off into the distance with half a pint still held in his hand. Their clothing is fairly typical for agricultural labourers, with hard wearing jackets, boots, and trousers. Many of the men are smiling enthusiastically. The caption of the photo goes into detail about one of the men. In the bottom right is ''Tanny' Burford, a [mixed race] man who played the bones and sang for beer in the pubs'.

We've found this great photo of some of the locals of Hedgerley in the 1920s. This should come as no surprise given their facial expressions, but this photo was taken right outside of the Brickmould pub, where the eight men seem to have been enjoying themselves.

Feast your eyes on an unusual defended islet on Ynys Môn/Anglesey for #HillfortsWednesday 😮🥰

Ynys y Fydlyn was originally one long headland but a prehistoric collapse isolated the western islet with its several house platforms

AI-generated ‘poverty porn’ fake images being used by aid agencies Exclusive: Pictures depicting the most vulnerable and poorest people are being used in social media campaigns in the sector, driven by concerns over consent and cost

'While it is hard to quantify the prevalence of the AI-generated images, Alenichev and others say their use is on the rise, driven by concerns over consent and cost. Arnold said that US funding cuts to NGO budgets had made matters worse.' 1/2
