Our Don Henson Prize runner-up, Lizzie Lovejoy (@lizzie_lovejoy_illustration @lizzielovejoy.bsky.social) also produced a poem during the conference, a TAG Group Self-Portrait. We hope you enjoy it. And TAG will return. At Exeter on 14th-16th Dec. Save the Date and look out for more details soon.

TAG - Group Self-Portrait Poem

We are…
Here.
We are quite stupid, but curious
We are disillusioned and anxious
But we are many

We can…
Find ourselves.
We can listen, observe and speak.
We can think.
We can come together.
We can change and adapt and help and remember.

We will…
Learn and theorise.
Prevaricate.
We will act.
We will take some rest (especially after a three day conference).
We will join together
And drink.
We will hold space.
We will return.
