A rainforest entry for The Great Tree

Our first AIC3 entry lumbers in...

We’ve had our first entry for Adventures in Comics 3 (AIC3), all the way from Sarawak, Malaysia. Sarawak has vast areas of lowland and highland rainforest, but one of the highest deforestation rates in Asia. Maybe the brief for AIC3, The Great Tree, struck a chord.

Its a busy 1st Friday 5th October

The Wonderful Pushing Print is back! Dont miss it! 6th-27th of October.

In addition to the main festival there are a number of fringe events. We are one. We welcome back Sophie Herxheimer now joined by Susan Mackervoy. Their show, Unruly: Print into Poetry opens with a 1st Friday at 7.30.

Catch up with Sophie and Susan earlier in the evening, they will be at the Pie Factory at 6.15 for a bit of Unruly live poetry.

Marine Studios 1st Friday 5th Oct. All are welcome. We'll be reading a few poems at 8 pm - and we're hoping that people will bring along a poem or a piece of work to share, too (maybe work inspired by Margate?).

For more details of the Festival, take a look at the Pushing Print website here.

We’re excited that we’ll be working with Sophie Herxheimer again in October. Sophie’s illustrations were a big part of our Pie Days and Holidays project, and we’ve featured her paintings on a range of ceramics that are on sale at the Turner Contemporary (and at ouronline shop).

Sophie will run our October First Friday on 5 October. The event will be part of a new project, 'Unruly: print into poetry' that Sophie is working on with fellow artist Susan Mackervoy.
