Swift Volume One - Colour Edition £16

(Swift budget black and white edition available here £8 )

​Swift Volume One is the inaugural edition of a new arts and politics publication aimed at speaking out against the rise of fascism in the UK and our populist government. Founder Leanne Warren has worked with a collaborative of artists, photographers, bloggers, writers, poets and academics (The Swift Collaborative) to create this bi-annual publication. Featured contributors include anti-fascist historian Dr Louise Raw, historian of empire Paddy Docherty and composer Dr Richard Norris. Swift Volume One touches on the dangers of a no-deal Brexit, the links between fascism and misogyny, parallels between Brexit and fascism, government corruption, experiences of racism, BLM protests, mental health, living in lockdown with Covid-19, beautiful poetry art, and photography, as well as inspiring activists who we hope might inspire to use your voice to speak out against what is happening in the UK.
