Internship at WoW by Lucy Fegan

I’ve been interning with Writing on the Wall for four months now and have been welcomed into an organisation that is creative, passionate and encourages the surrounding community to think differently about their world.

The Story-teller of Standing Rock - 4th May

To get tickets for any events this Festival: www.wowfest.uk

In days of fake news, no news, or merely inconsequential celebrity news, it seems one way to hear of the vital activities of our world is to go back to the old traditions- those of the wandering storytellers.

Tax The Robots

The robots are coming, the robots are coming…er, scratch that, according to Tim Dunlop writing in
The Guardian in March, they’re already here.

Darcus Howe (1943-2017): The Mighty Lion & His Legacy

A trailblazing activist, writer and broadcaster is remembered by Madeline Heneghan

All at Writing on the Wall are sad to hear of the unexpected death of activist, journalist and broadcaster Darcus Howe. Darcus was a guest of the Festival over several years and it was a great privilege to get to know personally a man who was a political hero from my teenage years. 

#Revolution with John Rees

John Rees is a political writer, activist and broadcaster for publications including Counterfire. He has also written  The Leveller Revolution, revolutionaries who grew out of the battlefields of the Civil War in 1642. Join John who will be at Revolution with author China Miéville and cartoonist Kate Evans. 

A Conversation with Kate Evans

Kate Evans is an artist, cartoonist, writer, activist and a mother. We sat down with her on International Woman's Day to discuss her recent book, Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography of Rosa Luxemburg and her other works.

Kate: I prefer phone interviews ‘cause email interviews actually take longer, cause there’s a big long load of questions and 45 minutes later you’re still typing. But this is good because I can tidy my studio at the same time.
