From pissing off Donatella Versace and ‘burying her boobs in Baden-Baden’, to a curious absence of kitchenware, here’s what to expect from the pop star turned fashion designer’s new showTwo years after David Beckham and Netflix let us into the family’s sprawling Cotswolds home, offering us a glimpse into everything from his legendary football career to his OCD cleaning rituals, the Beckhams (minus Brooklyn, aside from footage of him as a baby) are back on our screens.

14 h. ago How ‘authenticity’ at work can become a trap for people of color

In her debut book Authentic, Jodi-Ann Burey argues the call to ‘bring your full self’ can leave people of color exposedIn the opening pages of Authentic: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work, the writer Jodi-Ann Burey issues a provocation: the commonplace injunctions to “come as you are” or “bring your full, authentic self to work” are not benevolent calls for self-expression – they’re traps. Burey’s debut book – a combination of memoir, research, cultural commentary and interviews – seeks to unmask how companies co-opt identity, shifting the burden of institutional change onto individual workers who are already vulnerable.The impetus for the book lies partially in Burey’s own career trajectory: various roles across corporate retail, startups, and in international development, filtered through her experience as a Black disabled woman. The dual posture that Burey experiences – a push and pull between asserting oneself and seeking protection – is the engine of Authentic. Contin...

(Delphian)An exhilarating album of new and reimagined works by Errollyn Wallen, Laura Moody and others reaffirms this group’s reputation for fearless musical curiosityThe third album from the Hermes Experiment again shows what a liberating force in contemporary music this ensemble have become. Beautifully thought through and rewardingly eclectic, Tree begins in a melancholy but open style with Islands by Marianne Schofield, the ensemble’s bassist, and ends with the title track by Errollyn Wallen, unfolding over a steady bass like something by Purcell.Clarinettist Oliver Pashley and singer Héloïse Werner contribute their own songs while harpist Anne Denholm-Blair provides a subtly textured arrangement of Nicola LeFanu’s wistful song The Bourne. Schofield is also behind a gorgeous version of Les Rossignols by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, initially halting and ethereal, then coalescing into something approaching its 17th-century original. Abel Selaocoe’s Buhle Bendalo is full of bea...
