Welcome to the new edition of Cultural Capital.
This week, we’re headed to the Hayward Gallery to see the brilliant new exhibition In the Black Fantastic, a glorious, glittering display of work by artists of colour who span continents and generations, but whose way of seeing brings them together.
Thing of the Week is a very handsome portrait of a rather dashing young Charles Dickens that was lost for more than 130 years before it turned up in a house sale in South Africa (random), and I’ll be trying not to sob my way through a review of a children’s movie - The Railway Children Return, a sweet and fitting sequel to the 1970 classic (which is also impossible to get through without snivelling).
Enjoy!
