A quick sketch of the apple tree and the lilac over the fence, as the sun went down and the temperature dropped, reminding me that, despite appearances, the summer has not yet arrived. Today I revisited Lubaina Himid's exhibition. In a series of paintings about forced migrations, she asks, how do you distinguish safety from danger? It's an important question for all of us. Tomorrow I will discuss what it means with the outreach team of the homeless charity I support. The answers may be as much about causes as consequences. |
