In this film, model Laura Bailey goes head-to-head with Rossetti's famous femme fatale 'Lady Lilith', and discusses the endurance of Pre-Raphaelite symbols in contemporary fashion photography: https://youtu.be/FQt96yBZFHQ

Nedko Solakov makes work in media such as drawing, painting, video and installation.
He explains ‘I am telling stories in space’, and frequently plays with the expectations of his audience, using humour to convey political concerns, often about his native Bulgaria. His work also playfully questions the conventions used in galleries and other art institutions.
In this film, we met up with Solakov in Sofia, where he took us to his studios and the art academy where he studied mural painting: https://youtu.be/b-tjAxR03X4

Here, Gupta has photographed Roger and Steve with their delightfully forward pet cat. The portrait is from ‘Lovers: Ten Years On’, a series of over thirty black and white portraits of gay couples taken in the United Kingdom between 1984 and 1986.
A procession is part and parcel of the cycle of life; people gather and move together to celebrate, worship, protest, mourn, escape or even to better themselves.
