A blog by Tenelle Ottley-Matthew. Free spirited journalism graduate. Lover of arts and culture. How to get the most out of your journalism course. I’ve come to the end of my three-year journalism degree. Soon I’ll officially be a graduate and I’m already worrying about grad jobs, salaries, my career and “adulting”. Having said that, I’ve enjoyed my degree so much and feel strangely optimistic, although uncertain, about post-university life. Put in extra work outside of the classroom. Gaining work experie...

Self-identifying as Muslim and woman, or rather, spiritual, African and woman I have not always encountered mainstream magazines or digital spaces that speak to my many identities and more importantly how I interpret and interact with F A I T H.

Do emerging black artists in the UK struggle to gain recognition and visibility in the art world? | Tenelle At Large

https://tenelleatlarge.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/do-emerging-black-artists-in-the-uk-struggle-to-gain-recognition-and-visibility-in-the-art-world

A blog by Tenelle Ottley-Matthew. Do emerging black artists in the UK struggle to gain recognition and visibility in the art world? But if this work hadn’t been produced by the Oscar-winning ‘12 Years A Slave’ director, would people have paid as much attention or shown as much interest? It’s questionable. What’s more, many people who are familiar with McQueen might not be aware of his background in art. I only learned this fact early last year when I watched an episode of the Culture Show on BBC2. I hope...

https://livebythepen.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/female-collabs-and-why-they-matter

20something postgrad on writing, culture, activism, wellness, and everything in between. Female collabs and why they matter. August 26, 2015. August 26, 2015. I’ve fallen in love with collaborative working! I mentioned in my last post, but I’ve recently entered into a little collab with a dear friend. Working alongside another person has really given me a lot of drive and motivation, and it has made me excited to see what we produce as a duo. There’s nothing I like to see more than all-female group...

Are We Funny ? - Variant space

http://www.variantspaceblog.com/home/are-we-funny

Why resort to showing images of destroyed buildings in a war associated with countless tragedies? Furthermore, we believe that as Muslims we should condemn all such spoofs against Muslims and non-Muslims alike. 'Freedom of speech' should never be used as a tool to fan the flames of stereotype, prejudice or hate. Such spoofs will only re-emphasise the duality of West/East, Us/Muslims and will play into the hands of those who we all wish to criticise; namely, ISIS. I will leave it for the BBC to judge.
