Revolution is never bloodless. In “Family First,” Norpell Wilberforce leads us into the catacombs of the hive, where loyalty, grief, and betrayal twist tighter than any webbing sac.

A buzzing debut for the new TCS Literature section.

Eighty years after partition, the conflict over Kashmir continues to escalate. A ceasefire has been reached, but trust is fragile, and violations have already been alleged. As leaders posture and deflect, it is the innocent who continue to pay the price.

Newspapers used to publish fiction, poetry, and experimental writing. Then they stopped. We’re asking - why? And more importantly: what if we brought it back?

The Cambridge Student is launching a new literature section. All forms, genres, and styles welcome.

In conversation with Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell: the astrophysicist who discovered pulsars, challenged systemic barriers, and remains a fierce advocate for women in science.

Awarded the 2024 Hawking Fellowship, she reflects on her groundbreaking work, the sexism she endured, and why equity in STEM still matters.

Eva Lemmy’s Macbeth opens this Thursday in King’s College Chapel—a truly singular event in a venue that rarely hosts theatre.

Candlelit, intimate, and laced with psychological tension, this production brings the supernatural horror of The Woman in Black into the grandeur of an Elizabethan chapel.

With original string quartet music, a charged proximity between actors and audience, and a focus on lightness as a force for good, this Macbeth promises to unsettle as much as it captivates.

Tickets are scarce—don’t miss out!

A fierce confrontation between duty and defiance—Antigone at the Corpus Playroom delivers raw emotion, sharp philosophy, and an unyielding will to resist.

A modern tragedy that lingers long after the final act.

Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance was politically charged, but when Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu staged an unsanctioned act of resistance—standing atop Kendrick’s GNX with flags for Palestine and Sudan—he was silenced, blacklisted, and erased from the official broadcast. Meanwhile, Kendrick’s ‘resistance’ was funded by Apple and produced by Roc Nation.

When the revolution is programmed, sponsored, and watched by the very forces it claims to resist, is it still resistance? Or just another spectacle for consumption?

The firewall is crumbling. As Germany’s mainstream parties edge closer to the far-right, what once seemed unthinkable is becoming reality.

Cambridge: golden dream or gilded cage? From the outside, it glimmers. From the inside… well, it’s complicated.

📅 Deadlines:

Pitches: 20th February
