Alongside KINO & others, tonight I’ll be taking a knee for 9 minutes outside my home for George Floyd & all the black lives lost. Join us?
“For the next two months, every Tuesday at 8pm, I’m going to take the knee outside my door for 9 minutes for George Floyd and all the black lives lost.” @KINO ., Photographer
This weekend I desperately wanted to join the Black Lives Matter march in London, but with a number of my immediate family being ill recently, I didn’t want to risk others by being present.
That’s when I saw this amazing post by photographer KINO on The Dots. Will you join KINO, me and the wider Dots community?

I know that taking the knee alone is not enough, so here at The Dots we’re trying to do everything we can to amplify black voices, share resources, continually educate ourselves and help dismantle systemic racism.
If you’re working on or aware of any Black Lives Matter projects, events, resources, campaigns or petitions, please add them to our BLM resource hub, so we can collectively help support:
