Can the Covid-19 Inquiry bring justice for migrant workers?
This week, members of the Frontline Migrant Health Workers’ Group (FMHWG) are providing oral evidence at the third module of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, focused on healthcare workers. These hearings, and the inquiry more generally, provide a chance for people at the frontlines of the pandemic to share what happened to them on the public record.
Mitzi Jonelle Tan on the power of diaspora voices within the climate movement
My journey into climate activism started in the summer of 2022 when I saw the realities of the climate crisis on a friend’s instagram. They had shared images and videos of the flooding in Pakistan which. Seeing the destruction caused by the rising water, families fleeing their homes, people crying, homes and livelihoods lost was heartbreaking. It frightened me, but I felt an urge to learn more.
Beyond the pole: cultivating community and destigmatising sex work
On a cold February evening, I went to see the sex worker cabaret, Sexquisite. The show opened with an aerial hoopist twirling around and around to Christina Aguilera’s ‘Hurt’, bathed in light by the giant pink heart which illuminates the back wall of Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club. They were followed by a dancer dressed like a Barbie spinning round a pole to Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed A Girl’ as her girlfriend cheered her on from a front row seat.
Rise of the war crime influencers
Soldiers taking ‘war trophies’ is, sadly, an act as old as war itself. Helmets, guns, knives, flags and jewellery snatched from the enemy are common examples, alongside more sinister instances. But the context of acquiring trophies remains the same: they are taken as a macabre symbol of victory or domination in war. Though physical pillaging has not gone anywhere, modern warfare and technology has opened up a whole new space for soldiers to collect trophies in: the online sphere.
South Africa just filed a case with the ICJ accusing Israel of “genocidal acts,” but what does this mean?
On Friday 29th December, South Africa filed an application with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) requesting urgent action on the violence in Gaza, accusing Israel of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and committing “genocidal acts.” When the news broke, I, like so many people, felt a sense of relief. It felt like an international authority was finally taking notice, and there would be greater potential for a sustainable peace and an end to the escalating violence.
White Balls On Walls: Reframing the Icons of Modern Art
When I first moved to Amsterdam just over six years ago, it quickly became clear to me that The Stedelijk Museum was one of the city’s most important cultural institutions. Next to the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, The Stedelijk towers over Museumplein with its vast white walls, strangely resembling a giant bathtub. Home to over 90,000 works, the gallery houses work by world famous artists including Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and as it turns out … thousands more white men.
Living in fear in Copenhagen
Shrinking space for human rights protection in London, Copenhagen and Berlin Only a few years ago, offshore immigration policies – the idea of shifting the responsibility of processing asylum claims to a different country – were considered an idea only palatable among the populist far right.
Demonising migrants, fortifying borders: Germany’s downward asylum spiral

How to make chocolate chilli mousse

Chilli might seem a rogue addition, but we promise it works. That said, the star of the show might just be the spicy candied pecans.

From Raves to Resistance: Amsterdam’s nightlife is moving beyond hedonism
Dance Dance Revolution shado and KALTBLUT magazine are taking three of Europe’s biggest cities, London, Berlin and Amsterdam, and investigating how and if young people are turning to music collectives as safe spaces of political community that traditional politics is failing to provide.
“We just wanted to give ourselves a chance”: Berlin’s next-gen ravers talk partying and politics
Dance Dance Revolution shado and KALTBLUT magazine are taking three of Europe’s biggest cities, London, Berlin and Amsterdam, and investigating how and if young people are turning to music collectives as safe spaces of political community that traditional politics is failing to provide. It’s 5am at re:mise, a nightclub located in the bleak riverside zone of Berlin’s Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district.
Anarchy in the capital
Dance Dance Revolution shado and KALTBLUT magazine are taking three of Europe’s biggest cities, London, Berlin and Amsterdam, and investigating how and if young people are turning to music collectives as safe spaces of political community that traditional politics is failing to provide. It’s 2019 and, like the majority of young people in Britain who made it to the ballots, you’ve just cast your vote for Jeremy Corbyn in the general election.
On Documenting Heritage
As East and Southeast Asian Heritage Month rolls around for its third celebration, I’ve been thinking a lot about the theme for this year: Roots | Routes. Specifically (and because naturally, we tend to make things about ourselves), I’ve been thinking about what it actually means for second or third generation folks to trace their families’ journeys and examine them in the context of their own personal identities.
Bursting at the seams: a glimpse into the lives of textile art-activists and their thoughts on Slow Fashion
If fashion is an instant language by which we can communicate our values, personality, and heritage to others, it must also be a reminder that our choices often speak for us before we do – even if we may not realise it. An invisible series of decisions are made by others in the process of producing the garments we wear.
The weaponisation of heroism in healthcare
For years now, healthcare workers in the UK have been expected to go above and beyond. The parameters of their job descriptions have become dangerously blurred, and at the peak of the worst global health crisis of the 21st century no healthcare worker was afforded the protections of furlough or working from home. Instead, they continued to work to ensure our health, at the risk of their own.
How life drawing can reclaim ESEA bodies from colonial fetishisation
When I’ve been told by friends that traditional life drawing tends to be very white, male and elitist, right down to the static and classical poses, I’ve not been surprised.
What is Greenwashing?
What is Greenwashing? Greenwashing is when an organisation or business is misleading about its environmental credentials. They engage in behaviour, activities or marketing to make us believe that they are doing something for the benefit of the environment, usually in a bid to make us buy more. Corporations are hijacking terms such as “sustainable”, “environmentally friendly” and “circular” with no evidence to support their claims. How do brands benefit from greenwashing?

What you need to know about new (again) UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman
Suella Braverman’s on-again-off-again relationship with her appointment as UK Home Secretary has been as confusing as it has been sinister.She was first appointed during the infamous 44 day term of former Prime Minister Liz Truss, then subsequently resigned after breaching ministerial code. She was then reinstated as UK Home Secretary just days after initially stepping down, following the new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ascension to power.
A case for abolishing borders
“If you have never felt the surveilling eye and iron first of borders, it does not mean borders are not violent weapons; it means that your privilege enables you to circumnavigate the gleaming edge of their blade.” – Leah Cowan, Border Nation Borders. We all exist within them but our experiences vary dramatically. Some of us are descended from those that pencilled the borders of nations in order to live out their colonising fantasies.
The PCSC Bill has failed Gypsies and Travellers - so where do we go next?
Part four of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill – which directly targets nomadic Gypsies and Travellers – has passed through the House of Lords without any amendments. This section of the Bill aims to clamp down on Gypsies and Travellers setting up unauthorised encampments but given that there are few transit sites and existing sites have a shortage of pitches and long waiting lists, it prevents them from carrying out important cultural practices.
Battling burnout on a burning planet
For the climate justice movement, the past year has been significant, turbulent, and emotional. Lack of action from global leaders and increasing direct climate impacts has invoked feelings of eco-anxiety and betrayal. Yet there were empowering moments too. People rising up in their millions around the world to stand up for our planet created a glimmer of hope for the future of the movement.
The Border Industry: how companies are profiting from human rights abuse
Borders – physical, intangible and imagined – are at the heart of the workings of many modern states. Migration as a ‘threat’ is increasingly presented as dogma by nations in the Global North across the world. Human rights abuses at borders in regions and states such as the US, Europe and Australia receive growing media attention but see little change.

White Daikon Kimchi
Share: Facebook Share on Facebook Twitter Tweet on Twitter Email Share by Email Pinterest Pin on Pinterest Although the most common form of kimchi is highly spiced and made with napa cabbage it is traditionally made with almost any vegetable or even fish, sometimes dry-salted and sometimes brined. I like this version, with the sharper heat of green chilli and ginger replacing pungent red pepper paste.
Turmeric Spiced Cauliflower Pickle
Share: Facebook Share on Facebook Twitter Tweet on Twitter Email Share by Email Pinterest Pin on Pinterest I really like the combination of vegetables and spices here, both the flavour and the beautiful colour the liquor goes from the yellow of the turmeric and the red hearts of the radishes, but you should treat it more as a jumping-off point for your own experiments with whatever vegetables you have to hand.
