‘…wedded to the familiar notion of Dylan the chameleon-enigma, as reflected in the film’s silly title, so what he delivers is a conventional biopic or partial biopic that offers little in the way of themes or dynamics, causality or connective tissue.’

After 14 months of live-streamed genocide, to claim Tower Hamlets’ motion as anything but a betrayal is staggeringly cynical. No mention of Israel, just a declaration of intent & call for a report. This isn’t Divestment BDS movement calls for & it does nothing to weaken Israel 🤮
Yesterday, Tower Hamlets Council committed to DIVEST its pension fund from companies arming Israel. This comes after months of campaigning by local residents and scheme members. 🎥 WATCH below to find out more

@FisunGuner The themes were hugely underwhelming, very little trace of any through argument, and strange decision to tick off “documenting the decade” in room 1. I’ve seen some good shows in those galleries (difficult as scale is) but yea: this wasn’t one (despite some good things)

Sprawling mess of a show, but enjoyed seeing Dave Lewis’ shot of Stephen Pusey’s Brixton mural (and wider photos) at Tate’s the 80s photography show.
