Rise Up
Drawing on new research, centring Black voices and perspectives, and celebrating Black Cambridge history, Rise Up focuses on the period from 1750 to 1850, when Britain became the world's first industrialised nation and one of history's largest empires. At the same time, Britain played a central role in the Atlantic slave trade, trafficking more captive African people than any other European power. Millions were forcibly abducted and transported to work on British-owned plantations in the Caribbean and Americas. In Britain, Black and white anti-slaverygroups and individuals campaigned for abolition. Despite opposition, laws were gradually enacted to abolish the slave trade in 1807, and enslavement in 1833. However, other exploitative systems including apprenticeship and indentured labour took their place. Financial compensation was awarded to former enslavers while the formerly enslaved received nothing. This is the story of the fight to end Atlantic slavery, its aftermath and ongoing legacies. It is told through the stories of individuals from across the Black Atlantic - many silenced or pushed to the margins. It interrogates historic objects and artworks from collections across the University of Cambridge and beyond, in conversation with responses from contemporary artists. Despite the passing of almost two centuries since Britain outlawed slavery, the struggles for autonomy, equality and social justice continue today.

Obrist-Isms
A thought-provoking collection of quotations from one of the most influential figures in the contemporary art world Hans Ulrich Obrist is one of the most celebrated curators working today and has twice been ranked #1 on ArtReview's annual list of the most important people in the art world. As the primary or lead author of more than forty volumes of interviews with contemporary artists, of numerous exhibition catalogues for museums around the world, and of influential books on curation, he has established himself as a pivotal figure in contemporary art and culture. Drawn from Obrist's writings, interviews, and other sources, Obrist-isms gathers a wealth of fascinating quotations from across his career, offering insights on everything from his approach to curating and his affinity with philosopher ?douard Glissant to his interest in artists' unrealized projects. Obrist-isms is organized into seven thematic sections: Early Years; Curating and Exhibitions; Artists and Conversations; Archiving, Collecting, and Unrealized Projects; ?douard Glissant and Mondialit矇; On Sleep and Time; Art and the Environment; and Technology and the Future of Art. The book also features an introduction and a brief chronology of Obrist's life and career."Art is the highest form of hope.""The motor, the engine, is curiosity. Curating is connected to curiosity.""What is happening outside the museum is just as important as what's happening inside. Make the walls porous. Think beyond exhibitions. Foster alliances.""If there was ever a time that the world needed artists, it is now. We need their radical ideas, visions, and perspectives in society.""There are many amazing unrealized projects out there: forgotten projects, misunderstood projects, lost projects, desk-drawer projects, poetic-utopian dream projects, unrealizable projects, partially realized projects, censored projects and so on.""I believe in generosity as a medium."
The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Late Antique Art and Archaeology: Volume 2, Settlements, Regions, Peoples and Debates
Late Antiquity marked one of the most significant transitions in European history-one that saw the rise of Christianity and the transformation of the classical Mediterranean world of ancient Rome. The richness of its art and the wealth of its archaeological remains have increasingly been recognised in recent decades and new discoveries and ongoing research are currently altering the ways in which we perceive the period. These two volumes provide a wide-ranging guide to the art and archaeology of the period 300-700 CE. Key monuments and artifact-types are discussed and placed in their historical contexts, but significant attention is also paid to the main cities, regions and peoples playing a prominent role in the history of the period as well as to some key issues and debates in its study. The chapters are written by leading experts and will be invaluable for any student or scholar interested in the period.
The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Medieval Italy
Late medieval Italy witnessed the widespread rise of the cult of the Virgin, as reflected in the profusion of paintings, sculptures, and fresco cycles created in her honor during this period. The cathedral of papal Orvieto especially reflects the strong Marian tradition through its fresco and stained-glass window narrative cycles. In this study, Sara James explores its complex narrative programs. She demonstrates how a papal plan for the cathedral to emulate the basilica of S. Maria Maggiore in Rome, together with Dominican and Franciscan texts, determined the choices and arrangement of scenes. The result is a tour de force of Marian devotion, superior artistry, and compelling story-telling. James also shows how the narratives promoted agendas tied to the city's history and principal religious feasts. Not only are these works more interesting, sophisticated, and theologically rich than previously realized, but, as James argues, each represents the acme in their respective media of their generation in central Italy.

The Forms of Silence [ street photography ]
The Forms of Silence: Street Photography began many years ago with a simple but life-changing piece of advice from three dear friends-Tim, Shaba, and Paul-all experienced artists, publishers, and photographers. They saw something in me I hadn't yet recognized: that I had "the eye" for photography. Their encouragement led me to pick up a small camera and wander the streets, capturing fragments of life and experimenting with the way light and shadow converse. This journey, now approaching a decade, has been sustained by the unwavering support of those closest to me-my parents, siblings, my wife, my children, and friends like Johannes and Dave of the CEC family, who have walked beside me through every stage. Their belief in me, through seasons of uncertainty and wonder alike, has been a quiet but constant anchor.As a sociologist and theologian, my professional life is rooted in listening to the struggles and hopes of marginalized communities-work that often brings me to the edges of human vulnerability and resilience. Amid this intensity, I found myself longing for silence. Street and urban photography became that silence: a way to stand still, to breathe, and to find beauty in the overlooked corners of the everyday. I have always been drawn to the quiet transformations of the city - the way rain turns streets into living paintings, or how fallen leaves scatter like the soft kisses of Mother Nature upon the earth. These are the gestures that remind me there is poetry hidden everywhere, waiting patiently to be noticed.I don't see this book-or my work-as a masterpiece, for there are true masters of photography from whom I still have much to learn. Rather, I see it as a trace of my search-a personal record of listening for stillness in a world that rarely stops shouting.Sam Lee

Kinfolk 59
Issue Fifty-Nine of Kinfolk considers the meaning of "clean" as a ritual, a feeling and an instinct. If you're starting to think about spring cleaning, you can read our longform essay, which examines how clean we really need to be; or else find solace in Dirty Habits, which turns its attention to the universal pockets of imperfection we all have--dead plants, missing mugs or a junk drawer. We chart the boom in public bathing culture among younger generations in Tokyo and ask five perfumers and an expert to identify what "clean" actually smells like. We also meet David Bronner, whose soap company has taken on a life of its own: a family business turned countercultural force. And while you may expect to see an issue full of "clean lines" and minimalist design, we instead speak to Leonard Koren, one of the world's leading aesthetes, who has an entirely different proposition. Elsewhere, we meet Jessie Ware--the down-to-earth, bluntly funny British pop star who turned her mother's weekly Friday night dinners for family and friends into a beloved podcast. Plus, our contributors spend time with a dry cleaner, a dermatologist and a saxophonist, ask whether culture is dead, and try to make sense of Theseus' paradox. Since 2011, Kinfolk has set the standard for independent publishing in art, design, aesthetics, architecture, homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers.

Heart to Art Comparative Analysis
Readers may ask why authors write art books. What is the benefit of this book and all my other art-themed books? Well, it is to document, not just for me, but for historical value, my life and the lives of all artists that I feature from a diverse category of famous and not-so-famous artists. Developing a track record of our work is essential not just for us but for the next generation of artists on the horizon. Recall that many artists gained fame and fortune after their time, long after their gravestones needed remodeling. Vincent van Gogh is one such artist who only sold one painting in his lifetime. His fame and fortune came through his wife and brother, his posthumous advocates who shone the spotlight on his works. Well, I am not waiting to die as there might not be activists ready and willing to take on such a challenge on my behalf, especially since I spent 20 years studying to be a business person, an educator, and not an artist of any measure. You, the readers, are my only hope. Go for it!
