To many, it seemed as though Lizzo shot to fame overnight. But long-time fans, like author Billie Oliver, know this is hardly the case. Lizzös story is one of tireless persistence, in an industry and media landscape where she was often made to feel like she didn¿t belong. Well, you better believe that never stopped Lizzo.Lizzobangers, her debut album, dropped in 2014 and piqued the interest of the American music industry. There were murmurs, and some collaborations (*cough* Prince *cough*). But it was from 2016 onwards, as Lizzös hilarious online presence grew in step with her status as a body positivity and self-love advocate, that her ascent to global stardom began.All the while, Lizzo maintained her brand of I-don¿t-give-a-f**k sincerity that many of us now aspire to. Or at least enjoy watching. How many other artists can claim to have twerked on stages around the world while playing classical flute?This book offers 50 pieces of Lizzös story as a tribute to an icon who truly shines (and lets us all shine too).

A tribute to a star who inspires us to be stronger every day.

This book is a love letter to Keanu Reeves, the most meme-able and cherished man to have ever walked the earth. Never has a film star had so many renaissances as Keanu Reeves – well, at least not while still looking so good. He’s beloved for his steely roles in high octane classics like Point Break, Speed, and The Matrix, and while there are less… beloved projects, we won’t be discussing 47 Ronin here. Now that the John Wick franchise has brought Keanu back into the spotlight, any cinematic flops in which he starred may now be considered as experimental performance art. So sure, we all know and love KR for his most iconic roles. But did you know that he was born in Beirut? Or that Keanu was on track for a career as a professional hockey player until he was derailed by an injury? Or that the “sad Keanu” meme was actually just a picture of the actor enjoying a sandwich alone? Well, this book is packed with these tidbits, told in the only appropriate way: photocollage.

This book explores structures, processes, theories and practices of engagement and participation with communities, groups and individuals in a diverse range of UK and international settings.
