Glad to see the majority of twitter feel as I do about #jimmycarrdestroysart. Great to question the art yes, but to destroy it is to remove it from the conversation.

Such a brilliant in conversation event with @SHONIBARESTUDIO and @afuahirsch on the #RASummerShow, I was excited to see it before and now I really can't wait

Fun, fairness, lightness and dark are the four key ingredients @SHONIBARESTUDIO says have gone into the making of the @royalacademy #RASummerShow or to put it simply - "I've curated a show that I'd want to see"
Very excited for this exhibition and so grateful to the artists who have shared their selection stories with @outsidein_uk

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media. It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

Thanks to everyone at @amadigital for #AMAInclusivity day - it has been amazing. So great to feel part of something bigger when a lot of us work in tiny teams or alone -now a part of collective change. Also.. if you decide to put 'cause positive trouble' on t-shirts let us know!
