Previously, art was the prerogative of the elite, as their economic status allowed them not to think about everyday problems and get carried away by something beautiful.  What can I say, and now art is not of interest to every person.  Not only because of economic prosperity, but also because of a lack of desire to "understand" art, to experience those emotions and feelings that the artist put ...

Hello! I am J-EL-R, a singer songwriter and bedroom producer. I have created the song Our Worlds as a musical depiction and representation of the social divide in British society. The song draws focus on power struggles as well as inequalities and stereotyping. I hope you enjoy my audio art. 

A Vigil.To my people. My family.  On the streets, lies another black man. Murdered out of hate. On the streets, lies another black man. Murdered out of fear. On the streets, lies another black man.  Murdered out of anger.  We remember every single life: every black man, every black woman, every black child, who were murdered at the hands of the police.  We remember every single life: every blac...

I was inspired to write this song after seeing many recent reports in the media about how badly we actually treat each other in our everyday lives. My hope is that one day we as a people will evolve to...

We are so far through the looking glass now, in fact, we have come to a fringe of menacing uncertainty.

It is spring in Kyiv, but there’s a cover of snow. It dusts a fat fern tree. A van stands alone, stares at grey buildings, windows with a high cross frame like a just-slipped barricade. And cutting the frame, to the right, are sandbags. “This is what spring looks like,” says President Zelensky, head lifted lightly to the camera. “Spring is harsh.” A cloud slithers behind concrete.

People have long been aware of the spectre that is data collection. For years, our habits, thoughts and interests have been recorded and regurgitated back to us through increasingly targeted content and ads. It has begun to seem normal.
