A celebration of genuine workplace friendships in memory of my good friend and curator extraordinaire, the inimitable Andrea Winn.

A consideration of how effective Britain's cultural soft power can be in light of the uncertainties facing the cultural sector and a hard power spending spree, as well as the value of involving a wider range of people in this work.

A closer look at the creation and maintenance of solidarity with and safe places for marginalised and vulnerable people in museums, as well as why this work is more important than ever given the rise in hate crime and hate speech.

A dive into the term 'cultural desert' and how, despite the odds, grassroots cultural ecosystems continue to provide underserved communities in places like Skelmersdale with access to arts, culture and heritage.
