Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA)
~ 3-minute walk from New Cross Gate Station → aka 3–4 minutes from NX London
Located off St James’s Street, this contemporary art gallery is housed inside a reimagined Grade II‑listed Victorian bath house — incredibly cool visually and 100% free to visit. It’s one of the most underrated cultural experiences in New Cross and sits only a few minutes from the hostel. [goldsmithscca.art]

Nine organisations have withdrawn from the Goldsmiths inquiry into antisemitism, after finding that it marginalises Palestinians and appears to target those who criticise Israeli policies and Zionism.

Joint Public Statement in Response to Independent Inquiry into Antisemitism at Goldsmiths 

<p>A coalition of organizations has announced their withdrawal from the Independent Inquiry into Antisemitism at Goldsmiths, citing concerns over its exclusionary approach towards Palestinians and those who critique Israeli policies. The statement highlights issues such as a lack of transparency, incoherent responses from the College and Inquiry Chair, and the refusal to consider the impact of the Inquiry’s process on Palestinian and other minoritized groups. The decision underscores broader concerns about the misuse of antisemitism allegations to silence Palestinian voices and suppress academic freedom.</p>

A Cartography Of Genocide: Israel's Conduct In Gaza Since October 2023

Since October 2023, we have closely monitored Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and the resulting extensive civilian harm. Comprehensive cartographic analysis, published as a web platform and in-depth report, reveals patterns of violence which indicate a systematic and organised campaign to destroy life, conditions necessary for life, and life-sustaining infrastructure.

That’s great and all … but it’s Tuesday.

How the Tories pushed universities to the brink of disaster

The long read: Over the past 14 years, the Conservative dream of a free market in higher education has collided with the harsh reality of austerity and the cultural resentment of the radical right – driving some institutions close to bankruptcy
