I have just read by Layal Liverpool. A thoroughly researched, beautifully written book, it weaves together personal experience and interviews with devastating statistics.
Liverpool, who used to work at New Scientist, methodically lays out how racism can harm people鈥檚 health, from the damage that the stress of experiencing it does to the body to how training images of skin conditions are disproportionately of pale skin types. She also dismantles the use of 鈥渞ace adjustments鈥� in some medical test results and shows how they reinforce systemic racism. Essential reading.

For a change of pace, I enjoyed the exhibition at the Serralves Museum in Porto, Portugal, on until 29 September. I particularly love her works inspired by nature, like her spotty tentacle sculptures and colourful paintings that remind me of cells.
Imagine my delight when, back in London, I found a created by Kusama in Kensington Gardens!
