ALT A group of diverse disabled people sit on a panel in a row in front of a movie size screen. The screen is a graphic bold image of lines and circles in purple, blue and green. It says in bold lettering WE CRIP FILM FESTIVAL. Penny is there wearing a tartan dress, black net top underneath. She is holding a blue folder and speaking. The vibe is upbeat and engaged.

ALT The image shows Penny Pepper in a red tartan dress with pink bespoke lace details at the front with a black net top underneath. She has red hair and the sides of her head are shaved and is wearing her hair up in a bun. She is a white woman wearing glasses in a wheelchair. Behind her is a huge cinema screen with the graphics We Crip film festival in purple and greens, with the BFI logo. Besides Penny is the actor Mat Fraser, a tall white man with greying hair in blue jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. Mat has small hands that start at the elbow. The vibe is upbeat and happy.

ALT Penny is sitting in her wheelchair with her back to the camera. She has long red hair and is wearing a black and red net top. She is looking at poet Roger McGough, who is holding a copy of her poetry collection, Come Home Alive. This is a yellow book, with black writing on the back cover. Roger is smiling gently, sitting behind a book signing table in the White Rock Theatre, where both have just performed. There are a few other people in the background of this interior scene.

ALT Penny sits in her wheelchair leaning towards the outside shopfront of The Bookkeeper. On the left of the image, there are rows of books on shelves. On the second shelf down, amongst other books, are two copies of Penny’s memoir, First in the World Somewhere, lying flat, red covers with yellow writing, and one copy of her poetry collection, Come Home Alive, standing up, its yellow cover with punky detail facing outwards. Penny’s red hair is in a bun with a red bow, and she is wearing a warm grey winter scarf, a black winter coat and her hands are inside a pink leopard print muff. Penny has a gentle smile.

ALT The image shows Penny sitting at the bottom of white steps which are cordoned off with red rope, at the back of Buckingham Palace, which is a brown and dull stately home building with tall windows and a centre half-dome with pillars. At the top of the steps are three figures in formal wear. It is a sunny day with light clouds. Penny is wearing a green dress and formal pink jacket as she sits in her wheelchair.

ALT A close-up of a small open notebook showing handwritten text. The writing is messy, with errors crossed out using a fineliner pen with black ink. The text is a haiku which reads ‘chapter near ending, but hesitation tangles like broken branches. Stop. Start. Pause. Rewrite? The point of view side shifting –new flowers to bloom? It hovers, held up between logic and instinct – let this seed flourish!’ Where the notebook opens there is a thin black pen. To the right there is a blue postcard with an arty image showing blocks and vertical lines in subtle blue tones. On top in one corner is a small box reading ‘metal compass’, and below is an ornate magnifying glass with beautiful pewter embellishment. Everything is on a pink background.

ALT A screenshot of a photo showing Penny meeting Queen Camilla at an outdoor garden party at Buckingham Palace. Queen Camilla wears a black and white hat and a white coat with black detail. She’s holding Penny’s memoir, First in the World Somewhere. Penny sits in her wheelchair, facing the Queen. She is wearing a pale pink jacket, and has flowers in her red hair. The image is outdoors, bright, distant trees, and in the background stands a man in a top hat.

ALT An image of notebooks and pens on Penny’s desk. The notebooks are different sizes from larger A5 to slim pocket notebooks. A couple have paper covers with spindly leaves and orange flowers. One is larger with blue spirals showing and another is black with green and gold detail. A large exercise book in the right of the image reads tabs open, grey background with white text. On top of the notebooks is a wooden box with a glass lid. On the side it says pens in bold black capitals. On top are two pink pins, behind is a pink glass with two pink fountain pens and beside it a mini black anglepose desk lamp. To one side of the wooden box in the front there is a tiny black-and-white photo of Penny aged around for years old, smiling, sitting on the ground under a tree. The image is intriguing, colourful and suggestive of Penny’s work as a writer.

ALT Penny, a wheelchair user, is onstage using a headset mic, reading from her memoir First In The World Somewhere, a hardback book with a red front cover and yellow back cover with blurred red and black text. Penny, who wears glasses, is smiling as she looks down. Her red hair is up in a high bun with a wonder woman bow with purple and pink hair extensions. Her face is lit up with a spotlight showing her colourful makeup and her small hands holding open the book. Behind her is a black curtain.

ALT In a bold colourful cartoon like image, Penny is in a steampunk wheelchair, her head transposed onto the Botticelli Venus body, red hair flying wild. This is an image of the front cover of her poetry collection Come Home Alive. The background is a bold yellow and overall the theme is rebellious. The lettering is very sex pistols and there are splodges of bright pink. To one side it reads: ‘an incredibly strong political sexy candid real and important poetry explosion. - Liv Torc’ (Published 2019 by Burning Eye books)

ALT Penny, a power wheelchair user, is on a stone ramp, paddling her feet in the Irish Sea, in a little town south of Dublin. She wears a purple cardigan and blue leggings rolled up to the knees. Her hair is in a bun, brown and blonde. It’s a side view, and she’s smiling. Behind her is a wall made of large grey stone blocks.
