I am an artist and student, currently writing my MA dissertation on the FWWCP and TheFED. Having spent nearly a year now researching into the groups work I've become interested by so many aspects: the writing produced, the methods of organising, ways of publishing/distributing, the types of politics involved, the changes that have come about...
I would like to invite existing and former members of the FWWCP and theFED to a meeting on Thursday 23rd May, from 1.30 - 3.30pm, in Sheffield. With the kind support of Nick Pollard who has offered the use of a room at Sheffield University, I would like to use the meeting as an opportunity to ask questions that I have and hear your responses.
If you might be interested in attending please do get in touch. I may also be able to cover travel expenses.
Writing can be in any form or style, poetry or prose.
Please encourage the rest of your group to participate,
especially those who do not have access to the Internet.
