About Amy Redmond
Amy Redmond is an artist and community organiser based in Margate, working with felt as a material for activism and social change. Since 2015 she has co-founded Margate Arts Club, Margate Pride, and OUT Margate, an LGBTQ+ youth club recognised by Amnesty International, alongside co-founding queer club collective Sink The Pink in 2008.
