The UK-based Clore Duffield Foundation is giving more than £2.5m of grants to support learning and community work affected by the pandemic at cultural organizations across the country, it was announced this week. The money will be distributed between 66 recipients, including the RA and V&A in London, Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, the National Gallery of Scotland, and the National Museum Wales. Funds will be allocated according to the size of the grant each organisation first received from the foundation to open its learning space.
Once a place where sea, desert, and palm groves coexisted in rare harmony, Tunisia’s Gabès Oasis stands today as one of the world’s most fragile cultural-environmental sites. At its heart is artist Mohamed Amine Hamouda, whose ecological practice offers a form of resistance—one built on memory, materials, and a return to ancestral knowledge.
