Paul discusses the importance of untold (his)tories and how collaboration can shape future scenarios for an era of climate change.

 

 

Sarer Scotthorne shares poetry from her new pamphlet 'Semblance'. An expert martial artist and poet, Sarer explores in text and form her relationship with two of her swords, a Juan and a Mioa Tiou. She has been training with the two swords for the last twenty eight years and her work reflects on the strange and wonderful thoughts and physics for a female martial artist of 48 years old. Sarer has recently performed a unique creative fusion of her work at 'Situations' at 'Sanctum Project' in Bristol. A completely unique presentation.

Sarer will also be performing at Scaledown on Fri 4 March

 

Paul Hawkins presents work from his Influx Press book, Place Waste Dissent. He discusses the importance of untold (his)tories, what people can achieve when they have a common aim(s), and how this collaboration could shape future scenarios in the 21st century and beyond, with the effects of Climate Change . . .

Paul will read some o the experimental work from Place, Waste, Dissent live on air.
