Uni: A Van Gogh Grant Cuts Protest, Plymouth, Devon - 1st March 1986
It's only a few days after the mass anti-Norman Fowler/grant cuts demo in London when, back in Plymouth, there's some follow-up activism in the city centre. It's a joint venture with Plymouth Art College, who have provided someone dressed up as Vincent van Gogh. There's a punch-line placard which reads "Dear Mr. Fowler, what more do you want, an arm and a leg?" in a reference to Vincent having already lost an ear (geddit?). The protest also features one of Nosher's early signwriting efforts, in the form of the title strips on an information board.
