Photographer Armet Francis documents African diasporic cultures across ‘The Black Triangle', and captures the co-founding of the Association of Black Photographers in London, now Autograph ABP, 35 years ago. For over four decades, Jamaican-British photographer Armet Francis has taken portraits that celebrate the resilience and survival of African diasporic cultures. Having immigrated with his family as a young child in the 1950s, he was part of the post-Windrush generation, acutely aware of his ‘cultural displacement' and ‘political alienation' as the only Black child in his school in London Docklands. Drawing on the transatlantic slave trade route, between Africa, the Americas, and Europe, Armet developed the idea of ‘The Black Triangle' to guide his photographic practice from 1969, as a means to connect with the rich and diverse pan-African communities. Armet details his ‘social documentary' approach, his experiences as one of the first Black photographers to shoot fashion, and how he challenged exotic tropes in commercial, white photography and advertising. He shares images of Notting Hill Carnival, Brixton Market, and tributes to those who protested the injustice of the New Cross Fire in 1981. Armet retells the unlikely story of taking Angela Davis' photograph at the Keskidee Centre, his engagement with activists like Malcolm X and Stuart Hall, and how he had to ‘become Black' before he could becoming politically conscious and active in civil rights movements. Armet was also the first Black photographer to have a solo exhibition at The Photographers' Gallery in London when The Black Triangle series was exhibited there in 1983. Five years later, he co-founded the Association of Black Photographers, now Autograph ABP, where he has represented the series in 2023. To mark both anniversaries, he talks about what it was like founding the institution, working with the likes of David A Bailey, Mark Sealy, and Charlie Phillips, and his ongoing practice in the archives, keeping record of the important contributions - and canons - of British history. Armet Francis: Beyond The Black Triangle runs at Autograph ABP in London until 20 January 2024.

There is an interesting arcade in South London. There are restaurants and shops. There are many different national cultures here. There are people from many different countries living in London. Even people from the UK have different family roots. I went to Brixton Market in South London last week. Look at the picture (on my website). Can you tell which country the shops are from? This market was originally an old shopping street. The old vegetable and fruit shops and the general stores seem to be run by Afro-Caribbean people. There are also many fish shops. There are Asian and Latin American shops as well. It is conveniently close to the train station; in the 2000s there were plans to sell it to a developer and build a new building there. But there was a big campaign against it by shops and locals to preserve the history and culture of the town, and the plans disappeared. Since then, small, unique new shops have sprung up in the market.　It has become a popular place to eat, with good, reasonably priced food. I enjoy thinking about where to eat today.

南ロンドンにおもしろいアーケードがあります。レストランやお店があります。ここに、いろいろな国の文化があります。 ロンドンにはいろいろな国の人が住んでいます。イギリス出身の人でも、家族のルーツはいろいろです。私は先週、南ロンドンのブリクストンマーケットに行きました。写真を見てください。どこの国のお店か、わかりますか。 このマーケットはもともと古い商店街でした。昔からある野菜や果物の店や、雑貨屋はアフロカリビアン系の人がやっているようです。魚屋も多いです。アジアやラテンアメリカのお店もあります。駅から近くて便利です。２０００年代には開発業者に売られて、新しいビルができる計画があったそうです。でも、町の歴史と文化を守るために、店や地元の人たちが反対して大きなキャンペーンを行い、計画がなくなりました。それから、小さくて個性的な新しいお店がマーケットの中に増えました。　リーズナブルでおいしいご飯が食べられる、人気の場所になりました。今日はどこで食べようか、考えるのが楽しいです。 There is an interesting arcade in South London.

Nish and Coco ask “what's going on with Labour?” Sir Keir Starmer caused consternation within his own ranks, by saying he wouldn't abolish a two-child limit on claiming some benefits - a Tory policy that many of his frontbench colleagues have condemned. Nish and Coco wonder why politically tough decisions only ever seem to come at the expense of the poorest in society. SNP MP Mhairi Black tells Nish and Coco about dodging falling masonry,  sociopaths and bullies in the corridors of Westminster - part of the reason she's quitting at the age of 28. We also have a handy guide to three crucial by-elections. Plus why you should never accept a plum from Coco - or invite her to a picnic!Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.uk WhatsApp: 07514 644572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644572Twitter: @podsavetheukGuest:Mhairi Black, MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, and deputy leader of the SNP at Westminster.Audio credits:Sunday with Laura KuenssbergBBC Newsparliamentlive.tv

If You Like what we do support us here, https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support Published April 30th 2020 by Quartet Books Limited As Benny ‘the Fixer' Pomeranski is laid to rest on a cold November morning at the turn of the twenty-first century, a motley crew of survivors from his youth assembles around the grave, its members ‘identified by their lived-in faces – faces that indicated a singular kind of past, a chequered hinterland.' This encounter with the past, and the discovery of his father Benny's diaries, leads Simon Pomeranski back to his childhood and the post-war days of the Astorians, a small group of criminals and traders in ‘swag' who ran their business from Brixton Market and exercised their own particular brand of justice. From this wonderful assortment of characters we are introduced to ‘Spanish' Joe, the cultured Russian émigré, Sam ‘the Stick', with his wounded machismo and penchant for violent retribution, and the dazzling songstress Estelle, among others. Front and centre in their world, though, is Benny himself, the autodidact owner of Pomeranski Gowns, whose passionate affair with Estelle marks the beginning of a new era for the Astorians. Gerald Jacobs is the literary editor of the Jewish Chronicle. His book Sacred Games was published by Hamish Hamilton in 1995, Penguin in 1996 and re-issued by Faber in 2011. He published Nine Love Letters with Quartet in 2016.

Sound artist Tansy Spinks talks about how to listen. Thoughtful and informed, this experimental artist makes a fascinating podcast. Tansy Spinks always knew she wanted to be an artist. Growing up in a family of female painters, her decision when she left school was not whether to be creative, but which creative path to follow: art or music. Choosing to attend Leeds University and study photography, Tansy relished the opportunity to experiment. Now a senior lecturer at Middlesex University, Tansy works with students, evaluating their work by examining the students’ curiosity and their commitment to their course and their research. Tansy has had a varied career as an artist. During her forties, she returned to university to study for her phD, and here she began to combine her interest in sound with her art process. Fascinated by what our ears bring to the experience, Tansy enjoys performing live. She visits places and performs using objects that are readily available or have a special relevance to the historical or current environment. She’s performed live at various locations, from Brixton Market to an old WWII sea fort in Kent. In this podcast, Katie and Tansy discuss Tansy’s life and work. Working through the writings of Marx, Morris and Ruskin, they discuss the relevance of creativity in the human world, how we are inherently creative beings, and the need for schools and society to recognise and value this reality. They also listen to an extract of Tansy’s sound art, a 45-minute recording of re-enacted Leeds United football and discuss the narrative value of sound.

Calling planet earth! Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE, acclaimed saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi, and Get Up, Stand Up Now curator Zak Ové explore themes around Black futures and afro-futurism. Presented by spoken word artist Joshua Idehen. Music by Shabaka Hutchings and GAIKA, excerpts from Sun Ra Arkestra BBC Radio 3 session courtesy of Somethin' Else and BBC Radio 3. Producer: Mae-Li Evans The series was produced by Reduced Listening and Somerset House Yinka Shonibare CBE Yinka Shonibare’s work explores issues of race and class through painting, sculpture, photography and film. Having described himself as a ‘post-colonial’ hybrid, Shonibare questions the meaning of cultural and national definitions. His trademark material is the brightly coloured ‘African’ batik fabric he buys at Brixton Market. The fabric was inspired by Indonesian design, mass-produced by the Dutch and eventually sold in British colonies in West Africa. In the 1960s, the material became a new sign of African identity and independence. Shabaka Hutchings constantly evaluates his music’s relationship to Caribbean and jazz traditions, and sees his role as pushing the boundaries of both. His trajectory started early when he moved to Barbados at the age of six, began studying classical clarinet aged nine, and graduated to tenor saxophone, which has been a regular part of his performances since his return to the UK aged 16. Hutchings has three primary projects – Shabaka and the Ancestors, Sons of Kemet and The Comet is Coming. Between them, Hutchings has gathered a substantial number of awards and nominations, including winning the 2013 MOBO Jazz Act of the Year. Mowalola Ogunlesi founded the menswear brand Mowalola in 2017 to celebrate the African male and culture, sexuality and desire. He was awarded Best New Designer at the 2018 Milan Fashion Film Festival. Mowalola had its London Fashion Week debut in January 2019 with Fashion East and their work has been featured in publications such as Vogue UK, Vogue US, i-D, Dazed & Confused, Surface Magazine, SHOWstudio and W Magazine.

Rifa and Chris do their weekly dance of near-death with the all powerful octopus of culture, art, tech and diversity. This week we reflect on Jim Bob's solo show at Shepherds Bush Empire (where Chris was part of the band). We then binge-watch the second series of Brit Marling's brilliant reality-bending mystery TV series The OA, which has gone up on Netflix. Finally we taste-test three different artisan vegan cheeses from Fauxmagerie, the deli in Brixton Market, while arguing if vegan cheese (or even normal dairy cheese) is a Good Thing. As usual, please give us a 'like' and a 'follow' and leave a nice review, it makes a massive difference to how widely we're heard if you support us. Thanks a lot.
