Wolverhampton Green Party

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month begins today: a time to celebrate the diverse histories, cultures and ongoing contributions of GRT communities in the UK, and reaffirm our commitment to a fairer, more just future where nomadic ways of life are protected.

The University of Wolverhampton lecturer expects the 1,000-mile mission to take between eight and 10 weeks.

Born on 1 June 1926, Marilyn Monroe would have turned 100 today.

Monroe’s image remains one of the most recognisable in contemporary culture. Warhol’s fascination with her glamour, vulnerability and myth produced some of the most enduring images of the 20th century.

Warhol’s use of the silkscreen technique highlights how fame can become a commodity. By repeating Monroe’s portrait, he both reduces her to a mass‑produced image and elevates her to an almost mythic status. The work invites us to reflect on how society consumes and ultimately discards its icons.
