Reading: ‘I’m not nervous, I’m ready’: Tschabalala Self on racist vandals and her bold striding woman for the Fourth Plinth

Oh, isn't it just marvellous? It makes my heart swell like a ska beat, to see Tschabalala Self's bold, unstoppable spirit, striding into the heart of London with Lady in Blue! I can almost hear the echo of her optimism bouncing off those storied walls, and it's made me want to don my two-tone shoes and do a little jig right here in Islington.
