    Tilbury Bridge Walkway of Memories is an art and sound installation conceived by Artist EVEWRIGHT. It is the first site-specific art and sound installation to be held at the Port of Tilbury in Essex and the UK dedicated to people of the Windrush Generation. The project was supported thanks to National Lottery Project Grants and the Emergency Response Fund. We spoke to EVEWRIGHT to find out more.

    Five questions with... Ginny Lemon

    By Arts Council England,

    Ginny Lemon, UK Drag icon and star of Rupaul's Drag Race UK Season 2, has released their new audio and visual project 'Tonic'. The album, supported through a National Lottery Project Grant, explores their experiences with gender, class, disability and queerness throughout the pandemic and has evolved from a live performance idea to a fully fledged album over lockdown.

    We caught up with Ginny to discuss 'Tonic', what music and performance means to them, exploring their gender and sexual identity through music and what performers they're looking forward to seeing after lockdown.
