On Monday evening, we launched our new zine “Partners in Loot: BP and the British Museum, Past, Present and Future” and were joined by incredible panellists, including Hannah David from @pcsculturegroup , Allan Struthers from @artistscultureworkersldn , author of the Brutish Museums @profdanhicks and Oriane Bui from @lsesusjp

We explored our new zine uncovering BP and the British Museum’s shared history of colonial plunder and their present partnership in service of imperialist genocide and ecological destruction. We also spoke about what the complete transformation and democratisation of the British Museum could look like, staring with the £50 million partnership.

Our zine is now available to view online and order.

🌟 PANEL LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ZINE LAUNCH 🌟

🚨 SOLD OUT 🚨

*Correction: Hannah David is Chair of the PCS Culture Group

⁨PARTNERS IN LOOT: BP and The British Museum, Past, Present and Future

📆 February 23rd 7PM
📍Reference Point, WC2R 3DA, London.

Join us for the launch of our new zine ‘Partners in Loot: The British Museum and BP in Past, Present and Future’ at 7pm on Monday, 23 February, at Reference Point, WC2R 3DA London.

‘Partners in Loot: The British Museum and BP in Past, Present and Future’ investigates the two institutions’ shared history of colonial plunder, and their present partnership in service of imperialist genocide and ecological destruction. The zine puts forward our case for the complete transformation and democratisation of the colonial institution, starting with the £50 million BP partnership.

We’ll be in conversation with cultural workers and organisers, diving into the history and political significance of the BP partnership, and exploring the role of cultural workers and institutions in both upholding and resisting the status quo.

The Panel Includes:

Anaïs Walsdorf (Energy Embargo for Palestine)
Hannah David (PCS Culture group Chair)
Allan Struthers (Artists and Culture Workers LDN)
Dan Hicks (Author of The Brutish Museums)
Oriane Bui (LSE Students for Justice in Palestine)

Out of the ashes, can a new, democratic, accountable museum culture emerge?

Come to contribute in the discussion, learn more about Energy Embargo for Palestine, or to just have a drink and some food for thought at the start of the week.

A tragedy in two parts and a clear example of why big donors are not the answer to the funding crisis in the arts. They line up to put their names on new galleries or star acquisitions but they are less keen to pay to refurbish the toilets, or to pay for staff salaries...

We need more funding from the government, and not just for big infrastructure projects. by @pcsculturegroup

Fran Heathcote walks the walk. A good Union leader. 🙏👊🖤
A third week of strikes at the British Library and the public awareness and scrutiny of the place is hugely welcome for dedicated workers who care deeply about what a (inter)national library *should* and *could* be.
