The Other Story: Afro-Asian Artists in Post-War Britain was a groundbreaking exhibition curated in 1989 by Rasheed Araeen, whose work is currently on show at Downing’s Heong Gallery. A landmark moment in British art history, the show highlighted the contributions and creativity of African and Asian artists who had been marginalized by the mainstream art world in post-war Britain. The Other Story explored social issues of race, identity, and the politics of representation. It continues to encourage discussions on post-colonialism and multiculturalism in the arts, as well as on diversity and inclusion in the art world today. For this roundtable discussion, Dr Saul Nelson (Teaching Associate in Twentieth-Century Art, University of Cambridge) and Alina Khakoo (PhD student on the Criticism and Culture programme at the University of Cambridge) will be in conversation with a number of artists involved in the 1989 exhibition, including Eddie Chambers, Gavin Jantjes and Keith Piper. About the exhibition:
Rasheed Araeen: A British Story condenses Araeen’s artistic career into a representative selection of work across painting, collage, sculpture, and participatory installations. Works include Zero to Infinity, and his ‘Reading Room’ installation, which will offer visitors the opportunity to engage with the artist’s own writings, many of which were first published in the journal Third Text, which he founded in 1987. The show emphasizes the indivisibility of Araeen’s formal artistic language from his post-colonial political awareness and highlights his imaginative artistic responses to British political and cultural life over the last fifty years.

It is a lovely and unique place. There are lots of famous attractions on the campus. However, if you want to visit them, you have to pay the entry fee to each college you want to access or pay to take the boat. I would strongly recommend taking the boat if possible because you can see the most historic and famous part of the school.

Boat Tours

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Trinity College

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance of Trinity College. There is an apple tree on the green lawn at the entrance of the college, which is the source of Newton&#39;s law of &quot;universal gravitation&quot;. When you enter the Great Court of the college, the magnificent architecture brings a sense of awe. In the lobby of the church are jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.
