Wisbech Radicals Online! Fun Palace

Online

Reflecting on our past (with at least 3 famous radicals – but many more, we’re sure!) and how they collaborated and communicated, our idea is to use new tech to explore ways we communicate and collaborate in the 21st Century.

Plan at the moment is to go live on zoom and embed it in the website! So hopefully you’ll be able to watch the crochet (very zen) and fly through town (in Minecraft, we’re not offering free rocket boosters…) direct on the website wisbechradicals.org.uk (Or we’ll post the zoom there)
We’re having great fun learning new tech all the time – even after 30 years!
(the website is also for launching a loose collective/project based on loca radical people – so you’ll see more pages appear over the next few days)
