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.

Lucy's #Revolution

Lucy, one of our interns at Writing on the Wall, discusses what revolution means to her. 

Revolution to me is unity. It’s millions of people across the globe taking to the streets to fight for our rights. It’s speaking out and adding to the conversation about politics, our environment and health. It’s not sitting back and saying “little old me isn’t going to change anything.”

Ten Years on the Parish, George Garrett

For World Book Day I’m celebrating a book that will finally see the light of day eighty-one years since it was first written, written by someone I’ve been fascinated by since discovering his work and setting up the project to protect and preserve his legacy. Ten Years On The Parish, by George Garrett will be published on the 1^st May 2017 by Liverpool University Press, following Writing on the Wall’s four year George Garrett Archive project, which has collected, collated and preserved Garrett’s work for future readers, which began after two suitcases of his memorabilia, including original writing, was presented to us by his family.
