Teaching net bag making at the first departmental Biodiversity Fair, a celebration of all the different cultures in biosciences. This was made slightly more complicated by my poorly thought out decision to put one hand out of action by getting henna'd.

An event celebrating how valuable diversity is in our department feels very timely right now, and given that one of the organisers is American I suspect the choice of date was not coincidental.

"This year, though, will be the first time the Ukrainian pavilion will present art made in the thick of invasion – art that shows something of what it is like to have lived for two years under the shadow of aggression and violence.

"The title of Ukraine’s exhibition is Net Making – a reference to the communal volunteer activity of knotting together camouflage nets for the war effort. (I’ve seen people patiently at work doing this in the central library in Lviv, in western Ukraine.) But it also alludes to the act of making connections, reaching beyond artists’ own voices into communities, perhaps even holding something together that is fragile and needs safe containment."
