Alertism - SJ Fowler

Welcome to the Alertism exhibition, featuring artistic and literary works that were inspired by the Emergency Alert test message that was sent to people with a mobile device on Sunday 23rd April at 3pm.

Our second alert comes from poet and artist SJ Fowler.
With all the written pieces for this exhibition we asked writers to submit works no longer than 55 words (the same length as the government alert sent on the 23rd April). The written alerts were sent electronically/digitally to the First Responders. The response below SJ Fowler's work comes from Dutch writer Arlette Hovinga.



First Responder: Arlette Hovinga

We are all in this together but our safety is in our numbers 
Remember to always have hope - the thing with feathers
