Grayson Perry explores Brexit and national identity in new art work

Grayson Perry has released a new iconic piece of art exploring Brexit and national identity. The Restituted British Head is an iron and ceramic sculpture which grapples with the idea of restoring Britain to its former greatness – examining notions of national identity, colonialism, industrialisation and what it means to be British as we approach Brexit.

GALLERY: Dylan Carlson brings heavy riffs to hallowed ground

@ St John's on Bethnal Green, London26/03/2019Support: Thomas RagsdalePictures: Graham Berry (@blktphotography) There's something imposing about a gig in a church.

Theatre Review: Othello, Union Theatre

Othello returns to the London stage in a new adaption of the Shakespearean tragedy set in the Punjab region of India during the British occupation. With skeletons from Britain’s colonial years rearing their head in modern political discourse the show comes as a timely reminder of the horrors of the past, regaling the events of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre which marked a turning point for many Indians from moderate cooperation to revolutionary non-cooperation with the British Raj.
