Nowhere is there such an intersection of cultures as in New York City. As an immigrant who has lived in New York for over 10 years, traveling among the five boroughs using public transportation is still fascinating and exciting; being in this city can feel like visiting another country. People celebrate the customs and holidays of their country by wearing folk costumes on the street. Awnings with messages in entirely unfamiliar alphabets are completely common. Many of them advertise goods catering to specific nationalities and cultures, especially foods that were brought here or requested by immigrants living in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Jackson Heights, or Flushing. The packaging of these products is a form of art that tells stories and helps remind people that their culture is alive. In this way, immigrants in New York City can prevent the fading of identification with their native culture.
Blender is my ongoing project in which I investigate the diverse immigrant cultures in New York City. The project includes photos of the packaging of food products from various neighborhoods with a large immigrant influence accompanied by texts (short stories as well as notes on the history, culture, and trivia relating to immigrant-heavy areas), interactive performance, and a website. I’m showing photos and presenting short texts on the New York City neighborhoods where the photographed food products can be found. The look of these food packages often has an old-fashioned feel: bright, saturated colors and outmoded designs that are rare in both Japan, where I’m from, and America, where I now live. Through this project I hope to show that art can transcend time and language even through the simplest imagery found on a candy wrapper. Blender is a lens into New York's immigrant communities and cultures.

Original Artists’ Statement
We wanted to make places that don’t exist, with rich iconographies pointing to nowhere. An indeterminate zone (“The Orient”) through which identity can fracture like refracted light. It’s a made up place where there is no there - yet the impacts of orientalism are felt materially, pooling around people and places of need to Other their struggles. This flattening of identity gives calm to the colonial gaze, as dehumanization creates objects and empathy gets in the way of control. Were they just terrorists asking for it, or just objectified massage workers. The gaze doesn’t ask. We wanted to meet and return this gaze to the spectator. Perform the liminalities of self made and imposed identities. Serpent Camel Eye of the Sphinx Tiger.

Greater Manchester Police supported Key 103’s Cash For Kids Superhero Day (Friday 13 May) last week with a series of fundraising activities across the Force.
Staff raised funds all week by paying to take part in workshops including Zumba, belly-dancing and reiki, holding cake sales and a raffle and donning their superhero costumes for a special dress down day.
The Force also donated an experience for the charity benefiting from Superhero Day ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’. The charity arranges experiences described as ‘wishes’ to children with life-threatening medical conditions and GMP has donated a tour around the Force should any child dream of living the life of an officer for the day.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “We’re truly honoured to have been able to support such an important day and it was great to see so many of our staff and officers taking part in fundraising across the Force.
“These children and their families are an inspiration and to be able to give them an experience to cherish forever is just a small part of what we can do to help them in their time of need.”
The Force played its part on the day with traffic officers escorting the superhero convoy and members of the Tactical Aid Unit assisting the youngster’s in the rescue of DJ Mike Toolan and the Wish Fairy who had been held captive by Darth Vader in Albert Square.

Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) first cohort of officers in job share role have now passed their course and are heading out onto the front line.
Back in October 2021, GMP welcomed its first ever cohort of officers in a job share role for the Force, who all joined in the post of a regular police officer yet working on a job share basis of 20-hours a week.
The officers have now completed their classroom assessments and are heading out on duty. They were joined by their friends and family to celebrate with a passing out ceremony held at Hough End on Wednesday 25 May 2022.
The ceremony consisted of a parade and inspection of the officers, followed by ACC Sarah Jackson presenting the Carl Pilling trophy to the student who had the best overall performance. The award is being shared between two officers - like their jobs. This went to PC Kayleigh Armstrong and PC Sally Howard who was handed the trophy for their teamwork and commitment to learning and GMP. officers
GMP is aiming to make policing open to more applicants by offering this flexible alternative to full- time working. Expanding the offer enables male and female applicants who, for work, caring or personal preference, would prefer to be in a job share role, rather than a full-time role.
Policing is a 24-hour, seven day a week responsibility which in the past has restricted some people applying to join the Force, but it is hoped these new roles will open up policing as a career to suit a wider range of people.
Inspector Lisa Clarke, GMP’s Unit Head for Uniform Training, comments that: “The students have completed the exact same training as a full-time student officer, just undertaken on a job share basis, which has been nearly double the length of time to complete.
“Their dedication to becoming a police officer has been remarked upon by numerous members of the training team. It is clear to see that this is a cohort of student officers, who may not have joined the police service under normal recruitment circumstances, have shown such commitment and hard work.
“GMP are the only force outside of the Met who have embarked on a job share officer programme and these officers have paved the way for a positive change to policing. As a training team we are eagerly looking forward to welcoming the next intake of officers who, like our first 26, will bring a multitude of unique qualities to policing the communities of Greater Manchester.”

A building that makes the grandest of imperial statements, this is officially part of the Government Offices Great George Street (GOGGS) complex, viewed from Parliament Street, London SW1. This segment is also known as 100 Parliament Street (100PS).
GOGGS was designed in 1898 by John Brydon, who drew inspiration from Inigo Jones’ unfulfilled design for a new Westminster Palace of the 1630s. After Brydon’s death, John Tanner completed the work in 1917, albeit diluting some of his predecessor’s original vision. The main 100PS occupants are HM Revenue & Customs, relocating there from Somerset House in 2004. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is also based here.
GOGGS is Grade II Listed, having been praised by the Victorian Society as “an early monument of the Edwardian Baroque Revival”.
