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.
We start the exhibition with the work of Susie Mendelsson, who creates artworks using wood paper wire and recycled materials to create her darkly humorous sculptures. Susie's First Responder is Ginny Reddick.

First Responder: Ginny Reddick
It's OK in here
you know.
Sunshine yellow
Inside and out.
And if I hold my head
Just so
I don't need to know
Too quiet dawns
Or swift goodbyes.
