Another Matosic show, repositioning in Pool and a meeting off the Liskeard bypass

Paul Matosic writes to tell me of another show - Ephemeral States.  These things come in bunches, as he says!
A tricky start to the day as our planned assembly in Pool, Cornwall, is cancelled. We had been invited to run four assemblies, one every morning this week, but two migrant worker members of staff (Polish and Lithuanian) expressed concern. The cancellation is a  blow - as this was one school where we had particularly wanted to work. It's an area where incidents of prejudice against migrant workers are well documented. There are several children of migrant workers in the school.
We plan a meeting for tomorrow to reassess our approach.

Then on, up the A30, to Liskeard for a meeting with  Judith Cook, who is monitoring the project funding (from the Migration Impacts Fund).
Then back to Roche for a meeting with Ewa to review the day's events and plan for the week and beyond.

Paul Matosic and new show in Holland

Artist Paul Matosic, who is based in Nottingham, will be in Holland later this month doing a short residency and exhibition. Click here for details of the gallery.
Paul has loaned a suitcase to I Packed This Myself - which will next be on display when the show opens at Penair School, Truro.  It's a suitcase that his father took with him from Croatia up through Europe during the Second World War, using it as additional shelter in Dresden during the bombing. He carried it to England, where he eventually settled. He scratched the names of the places that he travelled through on the case.

Paul has made a short film, using old photographs and details of the journey, which we'll be showing at Penair.
