The LRM at Zinefest THIS SATURDAY

Saturday 30th August

MANCHESTER ZINEFEST RETURNS!!
at URBIS, ground floor, between midday and 6pm

Lots of stalls full of wonderous zines and self published works as well as workshops on paper manipulation with Dans La Matin, Zines, a Radical Politics discussion Music Zines debate and possibly more alongside an exhibition of some form. Bring a zine, opinions, eyes, ideas or just some pocket money.

For more details please email info@manchesterzinefest.org.uk

We're really excited about this and would like to send a big cheer to our inspiring zinester friends for all their hard work organizing it. The LRM will be there with a few copies of a selective history to swap for almost anything. We'll also be facilitating a couple of activities and it would be splendid if you could join us in between browsing

Radical History Tour (1-2pm)
Come for a wander with us and discover the hidden history of one of the oldest and strangest parts of Manchester. Share tales of alchemy and levitation, demons and angels, revolutionary writers, street drinkers, secret tunnels, hanging ditches, moving pubs, digital cathedrals, music, mayhem and more

DIY Map Making Workshop (3-4pm)
How did you get here? What's the city mean to you? How does it make you fee? What would you like to change… Maps have the power to control and define our landscape; an a-z misses out the glorious wonkiness of life. Lets make some DIY maps that show the view from here and spread the word - cartogography can be sexy

Glittery Love and treasury tags

Excellent to know you're back safe and sound. Hope to see you on Saturday (although we may be a little tired and Gothed-out after an ARA night on Friday).

Love,
Seán
