1: 2023, A4 leaflet, 2-colour risograph print on evercolor ivory 80gsm recycled paper 2: 2017 screenprinted tote bag (with multiple years of wear) for an old band with @peterpandrews called BORDER that i had never documented, still painfully relevant! in researching photojournalism on this subject, i also came across the work of schwenningen-born photographer kai wiedenhöfer and his books “wall” (2007) and “book of destruction” (2010) - not featured here - that display photographs of the effects of israeli occupation on the ecological and civilian landscapes of gaza. in a moment of continuing bleak comedy, his disembodied photos of chunks of west bank concrete (presented without any commentary) were deemed “anti-semitic photography” by german politicians and the left. wiedenhöfer still receives online abuse discrediting his award-winning documentation of oppression and innocent victims of violence (the opening of “book of destruction”, featuring portraits of children living with amputated limbs, was protested by german antideutsche). he was barred from exhibiting excerpts of “wall” that would have been projected onto die berliner mauer, due to removal of the state funding of the work. A4 prints of the first image are available for free from me at anything i’m playing - i am more than happy to send the PDF to anyone who wishes to duplicate also, huge thank you to @pagemasters.co who facilitated free printing of these - tote bags are long gone and were originally screenprinted by @printcollective1 and me for a benefit show at DIY space for london texts and photography sources ~ image 1: • Larry Towell - “Then Palestine” (Aperture, 1998) • Mahmoud Darwish - VI. Truth Has Two Faces And The Snow Is Black from “Eleven Stars Over Andalusia” (Grand Street 48, Oblivion, 1994) • Palestine Poster Project Archives - various posters (translated: “SOLIDARITY” - Arabic, “TOWARDS PALESTINE” - Arabic, “DOWN WITH THE OCCUPATION” - Arabic, Hebrew, English) image 2: • Frantz Fanon - “A society…” (Toward The African Revolution, Grove Press, 1964 orig.)

popping my head out of deadlines to yell about some stuff! tomorrow (4th) – REPETITIVE STRAIN EVENT: hosting big american mates @blue__zero (mems. marbled eye / sucker / public interest) with @m0istcrevice and crude image at ivy house in nunhead. killer lineup, south london. if you have asked me when RUBBER plays next, the only answer is: the final @eseses_band show at @newriverstudios on the 13th! it is our ONLY GIG for the forseeable future. angel of the north @jamesfowlers is our spinal tap stand-in for the evening on drums. you snooze, you do indeed lose. i'm DJing that gig too, RIYL: my daftest self. alternative options to see me press the big play button for two organisations close to the heart! firstly the @release_rugs fundraiser this saturday 6th at @vfdalston (club mode) and then @goodnightoutcampaign 's xmas party at @multistorypeckham on the 13th (chill get-together mode). come and support some hard-working angels!

hello gig time! two @rep_strain events before the end of the year that require attention, love, adoration, etc. i started using this app to lock me out of instagram, thank you based screenzen. 1 - we are hosting a freebie at @multistorypeckham on the 20th, pressing buttons to soundtrack a classy craft ale or cocktail (or 3? drink responsibly) 🎪🎵🎟 2 - we are putting on the oakland rock dogs @blue__zero (mems. marbled eye / public interest / sucker / etc.) with local hounds @m0istcrevice and crude image at @ivyhousenunhead on 4th december. wonderful world, beautiful people. 🐩🎸 in case you are as of yet unaware me and @motlash are live on @voices_radio every month for one hour of [?]. newsletter every month where you can listen back and read some usually half-connected thoughts! reviews include "it's really good" and "an overwhelming amount of recommendations"! find all the above on the website etc etc etc.
