The Anarchist Gardeners Club at Glastonbury Festival, June 2025
------------------------------------
Housed in the Shangri-La area of Glastonbury, the Anarchist Gardeners Club formed part of the 'Allotment' installations. Comprising of vegetable and flowers beds,
propaganda billboards and a purpose built clubhouse the AGC looked at the natural anarchy of horticulture - how plants work best in solidarity with other plants
through polyculture growing. No borders except flower borders.
A nice write up of the Shangri La installations is on the Elephant website, here!

Bradford 1-in-12 Banner Project, May 2025
-----------------------------------------
As part of the Bradford 'City of Culture' some funding was made available to do a project celebrating the wonderful anarchist social club 'The 1-in-12'.
Organised by the babes at Capsule/Home of Metal the project would create a book and podcast documenting the history of the club, a series of fabric banners celebrating the ethos of the club, all cumulating in a day festival of art, words and music.
I was asked to be the artist to create the banners, and with the input and help of 1-in-12 members these are what we made!
The huge banners were hand sewn using felt fabric, and are on permanent display at the Club.
