This is pretty niche but I enjoyed writing it :) It’s on three things I’m really interested in:

1. Attention
2. Pre-Reformation graffiti
3. How the annoying it is that the working class continue to be patronised

Thanks so much, James!

Ha, yes. I haven’t yet attempted to drag my 15 and 13 year old niece and nephew around a cathedral. But I will 😂

Love this by @clairestoneman.bsky.social

It doesn’t feel like we are making progress.

Success in the arts isn’t always equitable or a career path open to all.

Some gate keepers of arts appreciation and culture seem to have a condescending view of what certain people can bring to the table.

Thank you, Claire! Norwich Cathedral is a smasher for ancient graffiti :) Loved your piece in the TES last week, btw.

Thank you! I’m pleased you liked it :)

Ah thanks Peter! And yes, of course :) One of my favourite lines from St John Henry Newman is this: “Knowledge, which is desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labour.”

Excellent as always from Claire. This time, amongst other amazing things, nailing it on how art can patronise when it makes assumptions 👌
