Remove Nobrow Press from Kingston School of Art's list of 'valuable' industry connections
The Issue
This petition aims to remove all ties and future visits/talks Kingston School of Art have with Nobrow Press and Flying Eye Books.
Nobrow Press is an organisation that victimised and fired their only black member of staff.
Furthermore, Nobrow has been accused of under-paying staff, sending threatening emails to artists that hope to work with them (claiming a false sense of 'ownership' on artists work) and taken advantage of its (often just graduated) artists through flimsy contracts and awful royalty rates. Please read more in the thread below -

The Illustration Animation BA Course at Kingston School of Art have hosted talks, arranged visits and endorsed Nobrow Press to students without asking or detailing the problematic conducts of Nobrow Press. For an institution claiming to be at the forefront of Illustration, this is counterproductive and encourages students to work with/for an organisation that doe not respect its artists or (clearly) people.
