17-10-2005 18:12

MPH march, Edinburgh
Here a request for photos of the Geishas that were part of the protests at the G8 summit.

Also other actions in Nottingham, Sheffield and Derby had Geishas, any photos of that would be great.

If anyone has photos, please get in touch at  notts@indymedia.org

The photos will be used in a feature article on Notts Indymedia and for a new website about the radical arts collective of which the Geishas are part of.
