When we think of Beatrix Potter we think of her ch

When we think of Beatrix Potter we think of her charming stories for children featuring mischievous Tom Kitten and daredevil Peter Rabbit. But she was also hugely interested in science, in particular the study of mushrooms. In 1897 she even published a paper about their reproductive process.

For around a decade she painted watercolours of different types of fungi, some of which form part of a fascinating exhibition at London's Somerset House (@somersethouse) called Mushrooms: The Art, Design and Future of Fungi. Three rooms of sculpture, painting, collage and video by over 40 artists show us the importance of fungi to the existence of life, and its vital role in spirituality and the arts over the centuries.

Feminist collective LASTESIS, whose anti-abuse son

Feminist collective LASTESIS, whose anti-abuse song and dance routine “A Rapist In Your Path” inspired performances around the world, is being sued by Chile’s national police over their new song “1312” .

Titled after the acronym ACAB – or All Cops Are Bastards – the song was released with Russian activist group Pussy Riot in May and speaks out against police violence and repression. The police, however, allege that the song incites violence against them.

“We fear prosecution of @LASTESIS could have a chilling effect on women in many other countries who are standing up for their human rights,” a group of UN experts said on Monday, urging Chilean police to drop the criminal case.

"LebanOff, LebanOn" is a visual poem written by @freiha for @womena months before the #BeirutExplosion but the message remains.the same.

It was inspired by the October Revolution, when protests unified the population demanding dramatic social, economic and political change.
