Dear Hamburg, I am coming to town, let's hang out

From 8-24 April I will be Artist in Residence at Villa Magdalena K in Hamburg. I'll be working on a project initiated about a year ago, A Queer and Trans Fat Activist Timeline. This started out as a workshop at Nolose 2010, the Timeline has been shown at other gatherings in the UK and Germany since then, and will soon be in its long-term resting place, archived at Bildwechsel Hamburg.

My task as Artist In Residence is to make a zine out of the Timeline which will then be sent to people who participated in the workshop, people who want a copy, and archives around the world. The plan is to document some fat activism and talk about what that documenting and archiving is about. There may be a website, but it depends on a few things. Please get in touch if you want to donate money to this project.

Anyway, so I'm going to be in Germany for a bit, with a fairly loose schedule, and I would like to meet and hang out with people whilst I'm there, especially those who might have an interest in fat, queer and trans activism. I can travel a bit too.

Well, I sent an email 6 days ago but you didn't reply. I sent an email to Villa Magdalena K, but they didn't reply either and I left a message on the answer phone but nobody called back.
I feel like a creepy stalker now. :(
What was the point of this post?

What what? Who are you, A? I haven't received any Hamburg-related emails, and I think the VMK email has been on the fritz. Try again mail@charlottecooper.net That is the point of this post.

Okay I just tried again.
Maybe my first message just landed in the spam folder.
Thanks for replying to my comment!
