A very quick spring break trip to see my folks. Just keeping it simple in these troubled times. Me and the boys, some sun and fun, strolls at dusk in my mum's garden, gin and tonics with my dad on the verandah, my dad waking us up to watch Artemis at 2am and, yes, standing once again in the spray of the mighty Victoria Falls, something that for me will never, ever get old. 🖤

You might be surprised to know that women visual artists remain vastly underrepresented in museum collections the world over.How this changes is not just more support for women artists but more women in positions of real power across the artistic sector starting from artist residency to museum and every institution in the pipeline. It matters who gets to run influential arts organizations and what the board composition is, because at that level policy is made and the tone is set.
My grateful thanks to @komalshahgarg whose @makingtheirmarkorg Foundation is network building in the most vital way. It was a beautiful few days of joyous inspiration and a reminder, in these deeply troubled times, of things worth fighting for.💕

Sunday morning ritual when I'm not traveling, is me walking my puppers, making a cuppa and then reading Enuma Okoro's column in the @financialtimes. Thank you lovely @enums for suggesting that a five day sidequest to Marrakech was just what I needed. My gratitude to powerhouse @meryanneinspired and renaissance man @claudegrunitzky and @mame_fatouniang for having me @thediasporasalon. Intentional gathering and community building is just what we need right now.
And why have one side quest when you can have two? The team at @154artfair Marrakech are producing a global, small but mighty art fair built on community and love--two words that get lost in the shadows in the often very transactional and cliquey global art fair scene.
And, yes, very soon what was sometimes referred to as 'the west', won't be the center of anything. Not culture, not commerce, not ideas. What is impossible to imagine for many of its citizens, is so self-evident to the rest of the world and the more you travel, the more this simple truth sinks in.

My sister and I desegregated our elementary schools. Read that again. My sister and I desegregated our private elementary schools, which in 1980 Zimbabwe were all white. In those early post-independence days, bitter teachers and fellow students reminded us daily that we and other newly enrolled African girls like us, were occupying spaces in which we were very much not welcome. And, I've said this before, we are not old.
This isn't ancient history.
I've taken a few trips with my mum and dad these last couple of years to the American South. In 2023 we did Louisiana and the plantations (that was quite something--skip everything and go to @whitneyplantation) and in 2025 we did the civil rights trail to Montgomery, Alabama and Georgia (Sidebar: Bryan Stevenson's@legacysites are a MUST see).
One moment stands out--my dad at the civil rights museum taking in the the devastating photo of Emmett Till's lynched body in an open casket. Emmett would have been 85 had he lived. My father is 85.
This is not ancient history.
America has ghosts that have never been laid to rest. There has never been a reckoning and the willful erasure of the past is, in a word, shameful.

One moment stands out--my dad at the civil rights museum taking in the the devastating photo of Emmett Till's lynched body in an open casket. Emmett would have been 85 had he lived. My father is 85.
This is not ancient history.
America has ghosts that have never been laid to rest. There has never been a reckoning and the willful erasure of the past is, in a word, shameful.
My sister and I desegregated our elementary schools. Read that again. My sister and I desegregated our private elementary schools, which in 1980 Zimbabwe were all white. In those early post-independence days, bitter teachers and fellow students reminded us daily that we and other newly enrolled African girls like us, were occupying spaces in which we were very much not welcome. And, I've said this before, we are not old.
This isn't ancient history.

If you catch my mama in a quiet moment, she might tell you about when she was 17and moved from a small African town to London to study to become a registered nurse. She couldn't find anywhere to live because people wouldn't rent to Africans in the early 1960's in London, but an elderlyh o l o c a u s t survivor called Mr. Schatten took her in, and rented his bedsit (studio) to her at 32 Brewster Gardens,in a city foreign to them both.
But that was 60 years ago and today is today and my mum just got back from a trip with my 85 year old dad where they celebrated the new year in Ethiopia on a week long trek from Addis Ababa to the thousand year old underground churches of Lalibela in the south of Ethiopia. Pretty amazing in the worlds second oldest Christian country.
Wishing you all fortitude & grit, resistance & revolution for 2026 and beyond.

Lovely family time over the holiday. But, but, but...here we are again, my sister and I at our Big Age, Zermatt to Banff and every mountain in between, still finding courage and grit and throwing ourselves off mountain tops even if we can't ski for shit after 20 years of trying. Honestly it's terrifying but we've never given up. Yay, us !! 😂

As ever, the MacDowell Gala (2025 edition) was a who's who from the worlds of visual arts, theater, literature, music and architecture. We honored two New York legends @joseph_mizzi1 and @toshiko.mori_both people who have made inedible impacts on our culture. And it's just such a great party. Thank you to the (glamorai!) village that helped us raise scads and scads of bands to support art and artists everywhere ✨✨ 📸 @amirbangs@beowulfsheehanit's all love 🖤

M A C D O W E L Lis an artists' dream.
I often get asked what an artist residency actually does and my answer is that MacDowell and places like it, give an artist time, space and freedom to create.
What this actually means is that if you're accepted as a Fellow, you'll get to have your own private artist studio in the woods for up to 8 weeks where you can access your creative process, free from distractions. You get three free (and delicious) meals a day prepared by Chef Erik Johansen and his team. You also get to join a forever community of artists that has included amongst so many others - Meredith Monk, Alice Walker, James Baldwin, Leonard Bernstein, Thornton Wilder, Michael Chabon, Audre Lorde, Jonathan Franzen. The list goes on.
We offer stipends and pay for your travel to campus (if you need it) no matter where you are in the world.
If you're an artist and this is what you have been looking for,
I wanted to let you know that MacDowell's application period for the next season Spring/Summer 2026 is now open. Visit our website application page to learn more.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
