A moment of celebration when we were finally happy(ish) to hit that submit button for our project grant application, brimming with ambition, creativity, access, engagement, platforming and public showings, workshops and digital archiving (I never do seem to learn to not go overboard with intent). And now this wait … Thank you for reading this blog, and waiting with me, your company is definitely felt and appreciated!
