The Dawning of a Manifesto

We are interested in writing a 'manifesto', having its roots deep within art history and modernism, we wanted to give it a shot ourselves. This has involved two meetings to date where by we sat and discussed the essence of the collective that we are developing and potentially what we want to achieve as a collective. 

The manifesto will act as our roots, and what ever statements we choose to make it we feel it is important to develop a frame of reference in which we can collectively open a dialect for the future. Here is a where our initial meetings have lead us:

Initial sketching for our manifesto:

- Its not about right or wrong, its about bringing awareness and promoting dialect and debate.

- Promote that we as individuals within a collective become people who add value and enhance our environment.

- Expose the truth of something through reflecting it, instead of reacting to it; being proactive and not reactive.

- Not specification on media nor subject, the specification is the attitude.

- A group nurtured as an honest, accepting, open, and supporting family. From there A network of critical consideration, and ultimately constructive criticism can flourish.


Aware that many others share and indeed have experience in what we seek, we think it could be beneficial if we collate a compendium of books and resources which have an affinity with FUH. Acknowledging this we began a reading list:


Current reading list:

The Alchemist - Paolo Coelho
The Power Of Now - Eckhart Tolle
State Of Flow - Micheal Chandinsky
Do we need 'A' Reality - Carl Rogers
