Raoul Peck is a Haitian filmmaker whose documentary I Am Not Your Negro, based on the words of James Baldwin, was Oscar-nominated and won a Bafta in 2018. Now he has made a new documentary series in 4 parts, Exterminate All the Brutes, looking at the impact of colonialism and the development of racist ideas using a mixture of voice-over, dramatisation, animation and Hollywood movies. He talks about the making of it and why he wanted to tell both a personal and a global history.

While rug-making may be associated with an older generation, Gen Z have claimed it as their own, making 'tufting' one of the biggest arts and crafts trends on TikTok. Tufting allows artists to 'paint' with yarn, by using a hand-held machine that punches yarn into canvas. It can be used to create rugs, but also clothing and wall hangings. Here to explain the process of tufting is artist Trish Anderson from her studio in Savannah, Georgia.

To celebrate International Dance Day, Samira Ahmed speaks to photographer Camilla Greenwell, whose exhibition of dance photographs, Movement in Still Form is launched by Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage. The exhibition is presented online at Google Arts and Culture and invites audiences to see moments of the creative process where artists come together to make the dance we eventually see in performance. Greenwell’s images capture unique rehearsal moments not usually seen by the public, and she speaks about the intimacy of photographing dancers at work.
