A photographic history of blacks and Asians in England via Creative Boom:
Human Stories: Another England is an upcoming exhibition at London’s NOW Gallery that will bring to life the story of England’s Black and Asian heritage through a series of historical photographs. Working in partnership with Historic England and curated by Kaia Charles, it will weave together common threads of love, life and social shifts in modern English history.
A “melting pot” of rich archival imagery will give an insight into origins of diasporic migration, religion, home and working life, as well as unpick embedded racism that many were exposed to in the last century. In addition, newly commissioned works will interrogate concepts of multiculturalism, intersectionality and a sense of place through the lens of emerging, contemporary photographers and art collectives and new collectors.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
