'RED SHOES' ON THE MARCH

'red shoes' my latest project will be at G39, Cardiff (http://www.g39.org/ ) in May this year. Just found out my application for Arts Council of Wales funding was successful. Their support will ensure I can fully realise the project's potential.

Further information:
Weds May 21st - 'Spirit of 45'* film screening, discussion and workshop.  Retired and current members of the trade union Unison will join me to discuss Ken Loach's 2013 film and the issues it raises.  
*”Spirit of 45”  is a fascinating documentary which explores the setting up of major public services by the socialist Labour Government in 1945, most notably the NHS, (and nationalisation of) key economic and social infrastructures, and the ‘cradle to grave’ culture of  free services.

Thursday 22nd May - Benefit gig for 'Cardiff and South Wales Against the Bedroom Tax' hosted by Cardiff anarcho folk troublemaker Cosmo
Saturday 3rd May -  Red Shoes commences with a march from Merthyr to Cardiff on 3/4^th May.  The march, in celebration of International Workers Day (May Day) is part of the Made in Spring weekend and will start from the newly opened Red House arts centre in Merthyr Tydfil.

@ Made IN Roath (on the streets)
Fri 18th - 23rd Oct
POLITICAL ANIMALS will take twitter ‘tweets’ as its starting point - “re-tweeting” them visually around the streets of Roath. As with much of FrocknRobe’s work these re-presentations highlight social and political concerns (exploring local, national and global issues). Look out for POLITICAL ANIMALS as you wander around Roath.

FrockNRobe is a platform for provocation, discussion and activism instigated by Shaun Featherstone & guest collaborators
