Esther Manito: Slagbomb
Esther’s new show ‘Slagbomb’ takes a nosedive into the awkward sandwich years of life. The phase when youthful freedom gives way to the reality of adult responsibilities. It’s a time when one finds oneself juggling everything from prostate checks to hosing faeces off the garden decking, whilst clad in questionable footwear like crocs. Growing up, Esther imagined she would fulfil all the expectations of a lady, poised and dignified, but looking around she realises that just hasn't happened. Esther's life seems to be a magnet for embarrassing moments and endless cockups. No matter how hard she tries to project sophistication, she often ends up highlighting her unrefined side. Now she wants to embrace her lack of dignity - whether it’s her less-than-graceful posture, cringeworthy encounters with shady drug dealers, or the painful realities of waxing gone wrong. At its core, Esther’s show is an exploration of the challenges and hilarities of navigating the sandwich years, and an invitation to the audience to feel good about the madness in their own lives. After all, she has a Lebanese father dealing with war, a mother dealing with cancer, two kids (who seem to have permanently lost their PE kit), a husband who just wanted some birthday nooky, and a sudden loss of hearing. It’s all part of the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious journey of a right Slagbomb.Read more

Altered Tides - Annie Trevorah presents new body of work for World Ocean Day
Curated by Josephine Bailey and in support of the Blue Marine Foundation, Altered Tides blends objects found in nature with hi-tech processes into an underwater utopia. Working across a wide range of disciplines and media, Trevorah takes a panoptic and cinematic approach to creating artworks that challenge prevailing human-centred narratives. Evolved from eco-feminist theory and a belief in the interconnectivity of human and non-human intelligence, she imagines hybrid lifeforms as a response to the planetary emergency. Altered Tides describes a post-human re-genesis as mutations of fossils, corals and aquatic creatures emerge from the dying oceans to reclaim their presence on land. Human wit provides the glue as marine materials and found fragments become indistinguishable from 3D-printed elements and complement traditional techniques. With the future of our planet shaped by historical legacies as much as by present-day choices, the exhibition acts both as a forewarning and as a message of hope. The exhibition opens with an introduction by the exhibition's curator Josephine Bailey and a Q&A led by art historian and writer Hector Campbell. World Ocean Day on 8 June will be marked with a panel talk led by Nico Kos Earle, curator and ambassador for Blue Marine Foundation.Read more
About Baker Street
Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London. It forms part of the A41. It is most famous for its connection to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who lived at 221B Baker Street, an address that did not actually exist in Sherlock Holmes' era (the address now graces a building housing a "Sherlock Holmes museum"). The street is named after builder William Baker who laid the street out in the eighteenth century. It was originally a high class residential address, but now is mainly occupied by commercial premises. The street is served by the London Underground by Baker Street tube station; next to the station is Transport for London's lost property office. Baker Street Station is one of the world's oldest surviving underground stations.
