Protests at the Miss World contest in 1970 attracted headlines
around the world. This book portrays the new and vibrant women's
liberation movement of the 70s. It tells how women protested inside
and outside the Albert Hall, who they were, what took them into the
women's liberation movement, how they organised, why they were
protesting and of women's arrests and trials. The Director,
Producer and writer of the film Misbehaviour, comment on the beauty
industry, then and now. Rights to that film have been sold to most
European countries. (Film due out in the USA on 26th September
2020).
Sound art has long been resistant to its own definition. Emerging
from a liminal space between movements of thought and practice in
the twentieth century, sound art has often been described in terms
of the things that it is understood to have left behind: a space
between music, fine art, and performance. The Oxford Handbook of
Sound Art surveys the practices, politics, and emerging frameworks
of thought that now define this previously amorphous area of study.
Throughout the Handbook, artists and thinkers explore the uses of
sound in contemporary arts practice. Imbued with global
perspectives, chapters are organized in six overarching themes of
Space, Time, Things, Fabric, Senses and Relationality. Each theme
represents a key area of development in the visual arts and music
during the second half of the twentieth century from which sound
art emerged. By offering a set of thematic frameworks through which
to understand these themes, this Handbook situates constellations
of disparate thought and practice into recognized centers of
activity.
'A tale of loss and hope, of strength drawn from truly inhabiting
the moment.' - Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path An
inspiring memoir and simple guide that anyone can use to find a new
kind of happiness in the small pleasures of everyday life. Mary
Jane Grant takes us on her travels through London and the French
countryside as she recovers from loss to find a richer experience
of life, love and connection. As she immerses herself in the
sights, smells, and small pleasures of each moment, the sadness
starts to recede. From the bustling cafes of Camden and the
pastel-coloured streets of Primrose Hill, to the sun-soaked
vineyards of the south of France, her journey leads to new
experiences that she could not have imagined in her old life. Real
connections are made, she lets go of things she no longer needs,
and takes pleasure in the good, generous and beautiful parts of
life that she encounters every day. Beautifully and succinctly
told, this is a story about what happens when you embrace life,
whatever it may bring, with surprising - and joyful - results.
Anyone can use the enjoyable techniques described in this book to
create a more vivid life, one small pleasure at a time. As we
grapple with how to live in a post-pandemic world, this book is a
perfect match to the questions of our time. While the tea steeped,
I split open the muffin and slathered butter across the warm,
crumbly surface. I watched the butter melt. I took a bite. Memories
of my grandmother's kitchen came back. I cradled the smooth white
cup in my hand, ran my fingers over the uneven top of the time-worn
wooden table. I looked around the place and watched people. Time
passed. I realised that it was an hour since I first saw the sign
telling me to smell the tea. And all this time I had experienced
neither sad memories nor anxious worries. I was completely and
simply here - with the tea, the place, the people, myself. I was
present. And it felt wonderful.
