"Proposed monument for those who died from dirty air and the tide of rubbish in North Levenshulme, Manchester", Giclee Print on Archival Paper, 2024. @AfzalKhanMCR @Dzidra78 @basat_m @zahid4Labour @bevcraig

🐰Great advice from Active Travel graffiti artists for Manchester Council on neglect of neighbourhoods surrounding Asda Levenshulme? Air quality on UK 99th percentile "worst flytipping" in country in papers no pavement protection no repainting of double yellow lines

We are shocked by @HOME_mcr’s recent decision to cancel the Voices of Resilience: A Celebration of Gazan Writing event that was due to take place on the 22nd April. Links to letters for Manchester Open artists, Theatremakers and Cultural Workers:

"Proposal for a monument to the North Levenshulme flytips (installed for eleven months of the year, but removed just prior to election season)", Giclee print on archival paper, 2024 @LevenshulmeLab @MCC_Levenshulme @EnvHealthMcr @Dzidra78 @basat_m @zahid4Labour

Professor John Hyatt, musician, professor, painter, designer, printmaker, author, sculptor, has died. A remarkable man, an enthusiast and inspirer. RIP.

Really sad to hear this news. John was one of the loveliest and most engaging artists I ever interviewed during my time at the MEN. He and his work were the topics, of course, but the interview strangely ran both ways. Very sad indeed.

Congratulations to Kat Au - appointed as our new senior curator.

We are incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Steve Mackey, legendary bassist of Pulp and established producer in his own right. A camaraderie that translated into their brilliant music. Our thoughts are with the band, his family and friends. RIP Steve.
