Fringe of Colour film festival is back in Edinburgh this year June 23 - 29. The good news is that all the films will also be available online and can be watched from anywhere.

Their about reads as follows' Founded in 2018, Fringe of Colour is a multi-award-winning initiative dedicated to supporting Black people and People of Colour at arts festivals in Scotland and beyond. Our hybrid arts festival, Fringe of Colour Films, celebrates the creative work of Black, Asian, Indigenous and Latine people in Scotland and around the world, through an online streaming service, in-person screenings, a publishing platform and a podcast series.'

I watched their previous films and enjoyed every one of them. Each one is a unique gem. My absolute favourite was 'The Elephant in the Room' by Alix Harris and Jules Laville. It's about the impact of colonial history and included scenes from the #blacklivesmatter protest in the UK. I found it resonated especially because it was filmed in the southwest, mostly Bristol and Plymouth. I have family and friends in both and lived there for 3 years so could relate very well.

I am excited to see this year's selection.

It's really worth supporting this project so please share this with others and get yourself a pass.

Not *my* art, but a stunning #Navajo rug I won in a raffle. It just arrived in the mail, and I’m just thrilled to see it in person, after watching a bunch of videos of it being made.

The artist’s name is Daniel Keams and you can find him on Instagram here: https://instagram.com/jrkeams
