In just over a weeks time I will be facilitating ’Other Ways of Knowing’, a zine making workshop as part of the ‘Young People’s Lates’ programme at the @britishmuseum
In this workshop, participants explore how knowledge can be formed beyond formal academic structures. We’ll consider how everyday experiences such as conversations and environments are valuable forms of research.
Guided prompts and zine-making will support reflections on memory, place, situations and truths to form what we unknowingly know.
I hope to see you on Friday 8th May 2026 from 5:30pm-8:30pm for ‘Make, mend and do it yourself’ -https://www.britishmuseum.org/events/make-mend-and-do-it-yourself

Melissa Newbery Welcome | Second Pressing
“I think it captures a whimsical escapism that I’ve always yearned to experience. Whether that’s through gaming or dreaming of warmer weather, that worldbuilding experience is one that nostalgia paints through rose-tinted memories yet to be had.”
We’re getting excited as it’s less than a week to go before BLEUR opens its doors for the final time in Baker Street for BLEUR presents Second Pressing, an art exhibition curated by Meet In The MIDI where 8 talented artists have reimagined 8 LPs from 8 decades!
We had the privilege of shooting the artists in their creative spaces and getting a glimpse of what their approach and process has been like for the exhibition. Melissa’s passion shone through as they gave us a unique insight into their Phototransfer technique used for the exhibition with the inspiration hanging proudly in their studio.
Melissa is representing the 1970s and chose to reimagine Masayoshi Takanaka’s Brasilian Skies.
Read about how Melissa has injected a dose of escapism into their work from a proud South Londoner’s lens alongside @nahwandjaff photography and make sure you come to the opening night to see their work ‘Horizon’ on Wednesday 11th March.

This series of cement block sculptures pay homage to the everyday language spoken in local spaces. By casting these familiar phrases in concrete, the work literally solidifies overlooked expressions that define community identity and relations.
Currently on show at Touchpoint @agbi_1814

The ‘Walking as Resource’ workshop with @south2roots & @grafters_collective took place last Friday in the surrounding area of @acme.art Billet Road Studio.
Through this session, we let our intuition guide our journey & documented our discoveries though moments of stillness.
Swipe though snaps of the land we discovered and spent time with.

And lucky for you all, this time is my first voiceover Substack. In this edition I discuss community imposter syndrome, discretionary time poverty and unlearning bias to runners?

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.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
Anonstories lets users view Instagram stories without alerting the creator.
Works seamlessly on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and modern browsers like Chrome and Safari.
Prioritizes secure, anonymous browsing without requiring login credentials.
Users can view public stories by simply entering a username—no account needed.
Downloads photos (JPEG) and videos (MP4) with ease.
The service is free to use.
Content from private accounts can only be accessed by followers.
Files are for personal or educational use only and must comply with copyright rules.
Enter a public username to view or download stories. The service generates direct links for saving content locally.
