Let Me Get There Safely

“So, my dear, what brings you here to me?”

Heather Ann was born in Ipswich but grew up far from England in the rural Highlands of Scotland. With only her mother Katie – the strongest female role model – to keep her on the straight and narrow, Heather faces numerous challenges, some might say far too many.

From heartbreak to heart troubles, Heather endures the hardships of growing up in rural Scotland without mobile phones, computers, or even double glazing. Her life is arduous, but the pursuit of happiness proves a worthwhile struggle.

Often, we find that happiness is like a distant boat we swim towards, only to nearly drown before being rescued by a stranger on the beach. Heather’s journey to find true love is paved with broken hearts, as too many fish in the sea turn out to be mere trout.

Throughout her life, Heather experiences the effects of an unseen force – some may call it luck, others the work of a guardian angel. But will she navigate safely through life’s turbulent waters?

Why?

Nina Koman’s poignant memoir, Why?, is a heartfelt exploration of a life marked by love, loss, and resilience. Through a series of vivid vignettes, Koman takes readers on a journey from her childhood in Romania to her later years in Denmark, painting a vivid picture of the joys and sorrows that shaped her along the way.

At the heart of Koman’s story is her complex relationships with family – from her distant adoptive parents to her own children, whose lives become increasingly entwined with her own as they navigate the challenges of adulthood. With unflinching honesty, she reflects on the sacrifices and struggles that defined her role as a mother, and the pain of watching her children drift away.

Art and Institutional Racism

Why is the history of modern art only about the work of White/European artists? This question is not rhetorical, but about the reality of Eurocentric legacies of colonialism and racism, which not only sees artists of Asian and African origins as outside of art history but also excludes them from it. In this pioneering work, Art & Institutional Racism, Rasheed Araeen reveals how Asian, African and the Caribbean artists in Britain have challenged this exclusion.

Their work not only confronts the Eurocentricity of art history but also redefines modernism and its art history. And in doing so it aims to liberate art from Eurocentrism and also society as a whole from its lingering imperialism.

Gorgeous Giraffe

A giraffe gives birth to her calf on the wide-open spaces of the African savannah. The calf’s grandfather, a little hard of hearing, misunderstands when one of the females comments on her gorgeous eyelashes. And so, ‘gorgeous’ she became. None could have known at the time just how special this calf would turn out to be.

Another calf was born two days earlier, and the two become fast friends, exploring the savannah and meeting other animals and birds. Some make them chuckle, some make them nervous, and others, like the elephants and lions, fill them with respect.

As the calves grow and begin to feed from the leaves of the trees, Gorgeous exhibits an unusual skill—one that will one day put her in danger. Now, her father must come up with a plan to keep his calf safe and free to roam the savannah.

Crown of Crowns

Incepted into his Neo-Trinity at birth, Andy showed strong divergent capabilities as a small child. Belonging to a respected family, he is raised to be loyal, patriotic, and resilient. After the wool industry collapsed in Australia and farmers were stripped of their water rights, things looked scarily grim for Andy.

As a result, Andy wound up in a strict Christian brothers’ college in Adelaide, which has a reputation. Caught in a pre-existing football rivalry, he is stubborn and infuriates some, as they can’t seem to compete on a level playing field. This causes diabolical incidents of skulduggery from some of his peers to come into play.

Startling many, Andy revolts against society and runs with the devil, who has seduced him. Aware of his mischief, his parents do whatever it takes to secure their son’s safety. While enduring decades of suppression from every direction, the belief and love for Andy is far too great for his foes to befall.

The Dog That Ate Its Tail

A journey beyond the heart of dullness, beyond the mundane and frivolous cries of everyday drama. The essentials ingredients of love, hate, betrayal, and vengeance are present, but do not digress and imagine what these sprightly tales mean cliches, for these Shakespearean diving boards are the foundations for all art. It is a piece of work inspired by the modern life; life that is lived at such a speed that it has become perilous to stop. A life loaded with eccentricities and demands for perfection.

The civilisation that has conjured such divine torment has been sent up the river, beyond the heart of darkness and into the light that is reflected in the eyes mirror. It searches the mechanism of existence and measures the speed at which hope moves through the heart. The tragic humour of insight has been twisted into stories that can be carried about in the head and snacked upon at random.
