Latest update on the Rock Against Racism Exhibition in the De La Warr Pavillion, Bexhill-On-Sea:  
Due to covid, the exhibition featuring many of my Rock Against Racism prints,  will not now open until the autumn.  Another terrible blow to the struggling arts venues.

Reminiscences of RAR

The second edition of this fantastic book is published featuring a brand new front cover is out now. Edited by Roger Huddle and Red Saunders this book is full of great photographs by the Temporary Hoarding Photographers – Syd Shelton, John Sturrock and myself and stories by the people who took part in and were shaped by Rock Against Racism. A great insight into the era, the politics, the pop culture and the music that directly bought music and politics together to strive for a better, united, anti racist future

Virginia is very pleased to have collaborated with Alex Tenta of Warner Bros and the Prince Estate on the artwork for the CD deluxe edition and LP of the new Prince album released on June 7, 2019 – Originals.
