Another £56 and we’d pass £56,000! Something very pleasing about that (but let’s not stay here for long, eh? TICK TOCK!) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/docrowe/
Our online symposium 'FOLK AUTHORITY' is Monday 17/7, 3.30-5pm. Join artist @MaxCrowReeves and Simon Costin, from @MuseumofBritish to discuss community folklore traditions amongst artists and activists. Tickets available, see link in bio. #britishfolklore #witches #shamanism
I thought this a fabulous show @MuseumofBritish @ComptonVerney Last day today! Go see if you can.

Short visit @ComptonVerney to see super Making Mischief exhibition by @MuseumofBritish @simoncostin I’m quite familiar with the historic material, but seeing it alongside folk costumes made to establish new traditions is moving and delightful.
From an exquisite 20th-century costume made of newspaper to vivid carnival costumes from Leeds and Notting Hill, our Making Mischief exhibition features folk costumes from across Britain. 📰 #MakingMischief #NationalLottery #HeritageFund Find out more: ow.ly/eyb150NoPXI
Let's make mischief... aw, come on! 😘💚🤘 greatbritishlife.co.uk/magazines/cots… @ComptonVerney @MuseumofBritish #folkcostume #folklore

I can recommend the deeply spooky @MuseumofBritish Folk Art exhibition in the crypt of new St Pancreas church #wickerman
'Simon Costin launched The Museum of British Folklore in 2009 - a nomadic venture that aims to promote historic understanding of – and creative engagement with – British vernacular culture.' #RitualBritain: @Ben_Edge_Art & @MuseumofBritish tquiet.us/FFolklore
Next a diversion to the crypt of @StPancrasChurch for an #art exhibition by @Ben_Edge_Art and @MuseumofBritish on the theme of 'Ritual Britain' #HeritageWeekends 2/
Went to the @MuseumofBritish and @Ben_Edge_Art 'Ritual Britain' exhibition in the crypt of St Pancras New Church yesterday. Images of 'Morris folk', a 3D archive of dolls in miniature Morris costumes, made by practitioners.
Bought myself the @MuseumofBritish and @Ben_Edge_Art catalogue and a book on a history of fireworks in Britain. Treasure!

Some good times
It seems Taylor Swift has broken #FolkloreThursday today. The @FolkloreThurs hosts are being overwhelmed with album tweets, instead of actual folklore. Sorry folks, not much we can do one this one! :(
We fully support the joint statement by @TheMorrisRing, @MorrisFed and @OpenMorris which condemns another divisive, offensive and deceitful article about folk dancing on a white supremacist website.
Solstice love to you all. For yesterday’s midsummer 22.43pm magic and this mornings eclipse today. At 1pm today the sun will again be at 61.89 degrees. ‘As high as it gets’. Xx
I’m going to have to turn off public DMs and step away from twitter for a bit. People have taken exception to me telling the fascists where to go. They’ve not scared me off; the bile, hate and threats are tiring. Rest assured everyone is being reported. #FolkloreAgainstFascism
The Company of the Green Man is anti-fascist. Those using any aspect of the Green Man to promote fascism are not welcome. And a quick history lesson to those who utililise the Green Man in their malicious propoganda - Foliate faces did not originate in England.
Lots of useful conversations were had yesterday but we recognise there is more to be done in diversifying the folk arts sector. We will continue to take this forward. As an organisation, we have zero tolerance for blackface or racism of any kind. theguardian.com/world/2019/aug…
