✊🏽 Let’s ban the bailiffs in Manchester
👊🏼 Today, alongside @ACORNunion we forced @ManCityCouncil to conduct a review to ban bailiffs when collecting council tax debt. Direct action works!
‼️Bailiffs make Manchester poorer. The fight continues but it’s one we can win!

Pics from a research trip to Ghana exploring the geopolitics of consumption and waste.
In Kantamanto Market clothes from European charity shops & donation bins are upcycled. Traders are PAYING for our waste and cows are grazing on mountains of our bad decisions.
Fast Fashion 🤮

🏍️Off Road opened last night and was electric ⚡️5 young performers looked us in the eye and told their truths. The system is broken and is not organised equally. Division and disrespect is felt acutely by this lot. Such power and hope in the rapping, dancing and comedy moments ✊🏼

Spent Sunday night at R.O.S.E with these skeletal rave creatures. Drooling, flexing, crying, hobbling. Just like my girlies in the club. So so cool to be up that close to their bodies and in a crowd of cool Manchester people. @BenUFO @young_ @factoryintl

Today we were Off The Curriculum with @HMPS_Year5 who explored…
🐡 Why don’t fish drown? + lino printing
🕌 What if religion didn’t exist? + rap
🦣why are woolly mammoths extinct? + projection
And yes, we had REAL FISH!🤯

Still buzzing from Off The Curriculum! Q: what would formal education look like if young people were in charge?
A: Kind of like a nightclub where you can drink Kurdish tea, dress up as video game characters, debate with teenagers, write on walls and smash crockery. 💯✅

Congrats to all orgs joinin the portfolio today!We’re gutted we won’t be joining you. The reason we exist is because there is NOT equal access for Displaced people in the arts. We hope this changes with the new NPO changes/additions. Love + strength to all- it’s absolutely brutal

Woweeee! Well done lads! It’s your moment and so well deserved. 💎 And shout out to all the women who conceived, researched, directed and grew this show. It’s so strong because it belongs to so many people. 🚘🏆

The world has changed since seeing @PJHarveyUK read from Orlam last night. The book is gnarly, sexy, mystical. She channels William Blake, Elvis Presley and little Lyra #Orlam is the best thing I’ve read for years.

Saw Bodies last night by @Rachaelraymck. Part slow-motion ceilidh, part package holiday, part meditation on life. So beautifully produced at Bramley Baths. 🏊🏻♀️🏊🤽♀️
