Before: the homepage slideshow only rotates on its own. Projects opens with Tenga Tenga, includes Photography and Collected General Works, and shows year, medium and dimensions under every thumbnail. Exhibitions opens with Simple Commodities, which has a short summary. The About bio and Afronauts text are older versions, and News doesn't list the Wende Museum show.

After: the slideshow has back and forward arrows and still rotates. Projects opens with Afronauts, then Tenga Tenga, with Photography and Collected General Works removed. Images are larger with less space between them, and only the title sits under each thumbnail; the details appear in the lightbox. The Afronauts text is Aaron's new version, with its last paragraph behind Read more. Exhibitions opens with Ukupupuka, and Simple Commodities carries Sana Ginwalla's curator text. The bio is Aaron's new version, and News lists Competing Cosmologies: Interpreting the Sky at the Wende Museum.

These come from Aaron's two Drive docs ("Projects Document" and "Texts to lift for Website projects"), as gathered in the change list.

How: one commit per item. Changes are in the Nunjucks templates, _data/*.json, public/styles.css, one new news post, and scripts/generate-thumbs.sh (thumbnails now 800px instead of 400px so the larger images stay sharp). Built locally with npx @11ty/eleventy and the thumbnail script, the same as the deploy workflow; I did not view it in a browser.

Changed

• Slideshow arrows; clicking restarts the rotation timer.
• Removed Photography and Collected General Works from Projects. Image files and data entries are kept for reuse. The Meditate slide on the homepage now links to the Ukupupuka exhibition, since its Projects anchor no longer exists.
• Projects order: Afronauts, Tenga Tenga, then as before.
• Exhibitions order: Ukupupuka first.
• Simple Commodities: curator text in full, credited to Sana Ginwalla. "The Bird II, 2024" is left out because it reads as an image caption.
• Afronauts labels updated for Mwamba, Lombe, Jojo, Flight Is Better When Done in Tandem, From the Ground Up! Ulubuto and The Afronauts. Untitled (Afronaut Interaction) and Afronaut Banana removed from the project.
• Afronauts order: the six labelled works follow the order of Aaron's label list (he says it matches the site order). Chintelelwe, For Freedom We Dream Until It Happens, W.I.T.C.H Album Cover and Pillars follow in their old order. This is provisional.
• Afronauts text with Read more. Fixed "direct correlated" and "Golden helmet".
• Gallery: wider image column, smaller gaps, title-only captions.
• Bio replaced in full, with "Mulenga He has exhibited" and "bricollage" fixed.
• News: Competing Cosmologies at the Wende Museum, Nov 7, 2026 to Oct 17, 2027 (from the museum's page, read Nov 8, 2026). Aaron called it upcoming, but it opened on Nov 7.

Left out

• Afronauts and Tenga-Tenga order, and the Tenga-Tenga image to remove: these appear only as pictures in the Projects Document, and I couldn't fetch them from here.
• Afronaut Chikuza, Maki x Mai, Sogolo Album Cover: there are no image files in the repo yet. Maki x Mai's size is also unconfirmed.
• Tenga-Tenga text: the source has scanning errors, and it's unclear which passages belong on this page.
• Catalogue images to replace Photography: we're still waiting on the catalogue and where it goes.
• News thumbnails and the Inquire/Available button: Aaron raised both as ideas, not firm asks.
• Tenga-Tenga labels: the three Aaron listed already match the site, so nothing changed.
