From the end of August until 7 September, I was in western Canada for a family visit. It was four years since I had visited and usually the journey involves a long drive south from Alberta into British Columbia. Canada has been experiencing a record number of forest fires this year, and on the drive between provinces many newly devastated areas of burned forests lined the highway. 3 days ago the Canadian National Wildland Fire Report stated there were 229 uncontrolled fires, 95 fires being held and 163 fires under control.
Noni Stacey’s new book, Leave to Remain: A Snapshot of Brexit, was published by Lund Humphries on 7 September. It explores art and activism as well as insights into English society, national identity, migration, colonialism, racism, austerity, and the border in Northern Ireland and Scotland. So pleased to be a part of this timely publication. There is a launch at Photo Museum Ireland on 29 September and one at LSE, London on 19 October.
