Black History Month Special

Because October is not all Pumpkins and fun sized Mars Bars, we wanted to honour Black History Month. Luke suggested getting a black guest, Bea pointed out that this gig in unpaid and that two white people asking someone black to work for free might have some awkward precedents. Instead, this week we take a quick tour through some of our favourite contemporary pieces of Black Art.
