The image above is, at first glance, almost amusing. It is a familiar kind of social-media screed, written in all caps, heavy with expletives and indignation, expressing a sense of cultural suffocation and personal grievance.

Firstly, our budget is more limited and irregular, especially as the EOS is a small and fledgling but therefore also creative organisation. The early experiences of the Biodome Project have improved both the team spirit and especially our ability […]
