HYPATIA TRUST SEEKING POETRY FILMS BY WOMEN CONNECTED TO CORNWALL
To celebrate the Women in Word Festival in Penzance in June, Hypatia Trust is requesting short poetry films by women who have a connection to Cornwall i.e. who live or have lived in Cornwall or have another strong connection. The poetry film itself can have any theme.
The Hypatia Trust is an organisation I have admired for some time, not least in their resilience and longevity, having been formed in 1996. As the website states they were created in order to: ‘ collect, and make available, published and personal documentation about the achievements of women in every aspect of their lives. Central to activities has been the care, development and re-distribution of the Hypatia Collection, a unique set of sub-collections of books, artefacts, and archives, by and about women.’
