Mark Fisher memorial fund

Dear Colleagues

On Friday 13th January we tragically lost Mark Fisher (kpunk)—writer, theorist, critic, teacher, friend, and inspiration.  Mark was also a devoted husband and father and leaves behind a wife, Zoë and young son, George. We - Mark's friends, comrade, and Goldsmiths and Repeater colleagues - have set up this collection to raise money for them, in the hope that it will allow them space to grieve and come to terms with their loss, and reduce the number of things they have to deal with at this devastating time. Mark never made a lot of money and didn't come from a rich family so this help is certainly needed. If you would like to contribute then you can do so at https://www.youcaring.com/markfisherswifeandson-737423

There will of course be memorials, events and tributes to Mark to come, but for now this is the best way people can honour his memory and help his family. 

Thanks for your support,
