Around 10 yrs ago I met Henry Chalfant in NYC & I said I had to bring his images as an exhibition to my city. Here it is - in glorious black & white & in colour @Bullring @brumhippodrome @ChrisSudworth

Great to visit Shakespeare scholar @EFernie in Stratford at the @ShakesInstitute - part of @unibirmingham - always heard about this artwork but never seen it in person.
A privilege & a pleasure to bring international Birmingham-based Muslim artist @AliAerosol to Stratford, @TheRSC & @ShakesInstitute - & particularly thrilling to show him the Institute's 1600 portrait of Abd El-Ouahed: ambassador for the Moroccan Emperor to Queen Elizabeth 1.
