My banner celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Kinder Scout Trespass (shown here on its way to the Frow Lecture at Salford Uni). Is still on show @blackwellartsandcrafts till October 9th. With an accompanying sound work featuring Maxine Peake. The banner was commissioned by the Working Class Movement Library @wcmlibrary and Mid Pennine Arts @midpenninearts as part
of their Pendle Radicals program. The banner was made in collaboration with the famous banner maker Ed Hall.

The inhabitants of these grouse estate heterotopia

The inhabitants of these grouse estate heterotopias are not unlike the ‘Homo Ludens’ (men at play), where a post-revolutionary society would wander from one leisure environment to another, with self -fulfilment and self-satisfaction the only goals.
SOMETHING IN COMMON continues @blackwellartsandcrafts until 9th October.

SOCIAL CLEANSING The new Tory Police Bill is made

SOCIAL CLEANSING
The new Tory Police Bill is made to eradicate the nomadic lifestyle of the Gypsy, Romany and Traveller community.
The persecution of mobile people goes back to 1349 where "vagrants" could be branded with hot irons. In the 16th century a law against "rogues" and "vagabonds" were liable to have their ears sliced in two
and anyone calling themselves "Aegyptians" (gypsies) summarily executed.
This racist persecution continues today.

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill has

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill has become law. Part four of the act makes trespass a criminal offence for the first time. So, if you get lost on the poorly kept, badly signposted paths of the 8% of land and 2% of rivers we are allowed on, you could be prosecuted.
