In Bejaia, Algeria, and visiting the market…
Et ce que je cherche au marché, c’est quelque chose ‘de la culture’, peut être un objet traditionnel Kabyle, peut être du bijou bien sûr, et je voudrais mon bijou Algérien, fait à la main, par une [...]

});

I’ve seen lots of things in Algeria this week – this goldfinch isn’t the most remarkable thing, as it’s a bird I see lots of at home in the garden. Something nice but disquieting about seeing it up close; something not-quite-right about seeing it caged.

A film of walking in the North Yorkshire dales, right up in the North of England, in the snow. The films are silent, and I’ve put them alongside a poem by Ted Hughes (1930 – 1998), a prolific English poet who was born in Yorkshire [...]

La semaine derniere j’ai vu un film qui m’a beaucoup impressionne. C’est le nouveau film par realisateur Turc-Allemand Fatih Akin, et c’est traduit en Anglais comme ‘The Edge of Heaven’. Les histoires personnelles qui se chevauchent sont en grand sens sous la theme de l’histoire [...]

This montage gives hints of local stories, situations and symbolisms that I picked up during my time at a community radio station in a town called Ada, Ghana. The audio montage includes a range of voices, from University lecturer, midwife and the local leader of [...]

This is a link to a blog  by a Palestinian woman, Dr Mona Al Farra, living and working (or trying to live, and trying to work) as a doctor in Gaza. The blog is in English and her aim, she states, is ‘conveying the ordeal [...]

Je regrette que je poste un autre chose un peu frivolous dans le blog. 
C’est au sujet de la voyage quotidienne au travail, mais avec deux petits oeufs.

I thought I would post a print and a painting of mine. Apart from the fact that I gave the painting to friends as a housewarming present (so they’re stuck with it on their wall, all the time, when their parents come to visit, when [...]

This is my first time on the blog for 2 long weeks. I was nervous about looking at it, reading it, catching up on it, re-encountering the group, remembering its breadth, our different approaches to the blog. It’s an odd position we’re in, being all [...]
