Photographer and writer, Johny Pitts,  was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Ampersand/Photoworks Fellowship.

Over the past eleven months, the artist has researched and developed a new series titled Home is not a Place that documents Black British culture, people, and geographies journeying along the Thames and circumnavigating the British coast. 

Following the tradition of British documentary photography, Pitts is exploring the notion of home, particularly from the lens of Black communities, where there is a sense that home is where your community is and considering that black landscapes and geographies are ephemeral.

WHITE WOMANHOOD, HINDUTVA AND SPIRITUAL BYPASS: MUSEUM YOGA AND THE MASS-PARTICIPATION SPECTACLE
KAJAL NISHA PATEL
Abstract
Over the past decade, postural-yoga classes have grown to become a normalised way to attract new audiences to North American and Western European museums and galleries. These offerings, and what I term “museum yoga”, are commonly featured as part of an educational outreach program, yet largely unrelated to the exhibition programme. Why, or rather, how are museums doing this? That is, what does the use of media, imaging and bodily practices reveal about museum yoga and its socio-political significance in a globalised world?
