Imagine Malcolm X as a Game Designer

To envision the future, we must first understand the past. Hear from our archivist, Heena Patel, as she brings together writers reflecting on our city's historical literature. Also, introducing Hard Pressed, mapping Manchester's radical small presses.
Moss Side: A Journey Through Time
Moss Side is a neighbourhood that has been caricatured in and beyond Greater Manchester. Tonight we give local writers the opportunity to respond to historical depictions of the area, exploring the possibilities and potential of this dynamic neighbourhood
Plus
-Interact with original story games by creatives from Manchester and Beirut.
-Network over a light free buffet, with writers, artists, activists and innovators who are keen on experimentation, collaboration and devising new forms of literature-infused art.
We are very lucky to be hosting Future Visions at the illustrious Chuck Gallery, so wear your most fabulous clothes if you would like to compliment the backdrop of beautiful contemporary African art. We look forward to seeing you there.
