About the Author

Simon Evans produces radio for both local and national BBC networks and is a documentary and exhibiting photographer, video maker and writer. He is particularly interested in localised and minority cultures that retain their identity in spite of commercial or social pressure to conform. His work explores that which culturally binds communities together through internal dynamic as well as the relationship with the wider physical environment in which they exist. He has a long standing relationship with the Romany Gypsy community in Kent and is involved with a number of innovative educational projects which explore ways of integrating Romany culture into the school curriculum.
