Job opportunity: ARE Finance Manager

An illustration of a diverse group of nine people from various ethnic backgrounds, shown from a top-down perspective. They are arranged in a circle, smiling and holding onto a large, thin wooden hoop. The group is set against a soft, abstract background of light green and blue diagonal gradients. The image conveys a sense of unity, community, and cooperation.

Aย Connectedย Collectiveย 

An illustration depicts a line of seven stylized figures of varying heights shown in profile, facing right against a plain, light beige background. The figures have different skin tones, hairstyles, and facial hair. They are dressed in various colorful garments, including a hooded jacket, a long coat, and a hat. The artwork uses a flat, minimalist style with clean lines and vibrant color gradients in shades of orange, teal, brown, and blue.

A Numbers Game:ย Minority and Majorityย 

The image features a series of overlapping female silhouettes in profile, layered horizontally from left to right. The profiles transition through a gradient of skin tones, including deep brown, mahogany, terracotta, tan, and cream. A white square frame is placed over the right side of the composition, highlighting the intersection of three profiles. The entire group is set against a solid, bright teal background, creating a minimalist and graphic editorial style.

โ€œWhite-Assumedโ€: Theย Scales of Colourism

A magnifying glass with a black handle is centered over a collage of overlapping, colorful rectangular cards. A large, bold black question mark is visible through the magnifying lens, layered over faint, stylized silhouettes of two human profiles. The background cards feature a mix of solid colors, including teal, orange, and red, some with small circular icons in the corners. The overall style is a clean, modern digital illustration with a textured, paper-like finish.

Aย Question ofย Colour

This stylized illustration explores themes of identity, citizenship, and travel within the United Kingdom, featuring a British passport to represent national identity and international movement, alongside ID card icons that suggest official documentation and personal identification; silhouettes of faces and chat bubbles convey communication and social interaction, while maps of the UK, the London skyline, and cricket imagery reinforce the British cultural and geographic context.

Onย Britishnessย 

An abstract illustration representing modern journalism and media. A large professional video camera lens dominates the left side, while a microphone and notepad sit in the foreground. Various digital screensโ€”including a tablet, smartphone, and monitorsโ€”display news segments, interviews with diverse people, and text-heavy articles. Floating speech bubbles and an "ON AIR" sign emphasize communication. The art style is flat and graphic with a muted color palette of blues, yellows, and oranges, symbolizing a connected, multi-platform news environment.

A Hosile Media Landscapeย 

This illustration explores the complexity of racial identity labels. The top-left shows a hand holding a blank card over labels for "Person of colour," "Ethinic minority," and "Non-white." To the right, three individuals of diverse backgrounds are shown in profile. The bottom panel features a magnifying glass magnifying those same terms, while a man stands beside a large, empty speech bubble. The artwork reflects on how diverse groups are categorized and the ongoing dialogue surrounding inclusive language.

Diversity is a euphemism

An illustration shows three diverse students collaborating at a desk filled with books, notebooks, and a laptop. A woman in the center speaks to a man on the right, while a woman on the left takes notes. Above them, colorful speech bubbles and a glowing lightbulb represent active communication and the sharing of ideas. The background is a soft teal with floating sticky notes, creating a vibrant atmosphere of teamwork, creativity, and academic focus.
