Sheila Gaffney’s feminist awakening happened while she was a student at Camberwell. In one sense, it was the most stimulating period of her life, an opportunity to spend hours in the studio absorbing knowledge from tutors who were masters of their craft, while also picking up habits and skills that would go on to shape her entire practice.

Entering the gallery, I find a large tranquil space, suffused with the sounds of water and wildlife, unfamiliar language, the thrum of machinery and the banging of drums. Dimmed lights allow the films to glow from their positions on three walls, the polished white flooring softly reflecting the shifting colourways like peculiar aurora borealis reaching out to the audience seating before them.

The School of Mutants was formed in 2018 by Stéphane V. Bottéro and Hamedine Kane as a collaborative platform for research, art and activism. With a home-base in Dakar, Senegal, The School is a nomadic collective, with a shifting number of participants from project to project, engaging internationally in cultural investigations, field work, participatory performances and conversations, archival research, writing, audio recording and sound art, film and video projects.

My friend John Hyatt, who has died aged 65 after a long illness, was an artist, musician and educator. John taught for many years at Manchester Metropolitan University, initially as head of fine art, from 1991, before being appointed professor in 1994. While there, he set up Miriad (Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design), since dissolved due to restructuring. During his time there he lived in Rossendale, near Manchester.
