This week, we’re stepping outside our Cabinet of Remedies and travelling back in time to the mid 19th century. Anna Atkins (1799-1871) was a truly heroinic pioneer in the world of photography.
This week, for #flashfictionfriday, we’re inviting you to create a piece of flash fiction based on one of Anna’s cyanotypes. And if Anna’s work inspires you, feel free to submit a response to our poetry open call, for the chance to see your work in our KCAW exhibition.
