Al Pinocchio




Al Pinocchio
Charlie Kalsi

Publishing Info:
Portsmouth, UK 2009.
A4 saddle-stitched 40 pages.
Black and white laser copy.

Description:
Story of Pinocchio-style character who struggles with drugs, wordless visual narrative.

"My business is about using creative techniques relevant to young people to address some of society’s most difficult issues. These often get hidden away, or are not tackled in a way that young people can identify with. My aim is to help young people understand how serious theses issues can be, not just for themselves but also for the community that they live in. Through my experiences, I have learned that young people respond to visual communication, and this method has the power to attract and retain their attention, especially with young people with disadvantaged backgrounds, who have short concentration spans or have a troubled history in the mainstream school environment."

Radical Past in Spitalfields (The)



Radical Past in Spitalfields (The)
Past Tense Publishing Project

Publishing Info:
London UK 2009.
A3 single sheet printed double-sided.

Description: 
Political historical history of the Spitalfields area of London.

"Past Tense is a publishing project based in South London, exploring London radical history. Initially it began as the work of one person, uncovering the subversive, hidden and esoteric past around the Elephant and Castle and Southwark. As it exists now it has grown to include several individuals, autonomously following their own historical trails, publishing new texts and reviving old, out of print ones. However we also work together, for instance through the South London Radical History Group, which existed irregularly since January 2003 and 2008, as an open forum, discussing historical issues, organising history walks, inviting speakers on various topics." from www.past-tense.org.uk/
