Massive thanks to all who helped & took part last weekend. An amazing gathering of artists, activists, performers ...
Here's a picture from the closing session. Cyril Pearce looking amazed (in a good way) with Corinne Painter and Martin Crick after the final conchies session.

It’s shocking how so many facts about WWI are not better known. Great @FWWCCC2019 Festival this weekend uncovering these lesser known stories.
Artist Kooj Chuhan talking about the incredible scale of recruitment from the British colonies during WWI. 1.5 million from India alone...over a quarter of the number from Britain. His exhibition is on here until 7 May. @FWWCCC2019 ^kg

Really enjoyed our session on women’s war resistance with Ali Ronan and Lucienne Boyce. Learned about some fabulous and largely forgotten women like Phyllis Skinner (Manchester) and Lily Girdlestone (Bristol) – at Bristol, England
Great to hear about the important role universities played in the post war world
