With the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day behind us, I’m sure we’re all eager to save some extra cashola after all that Guinness.
From exhibition launches in the heart of Castlefield to Amapiano parties over at YES – here’s our rundown for the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Be sure to check out Sketch & Cafe this Thursday morning at Pollen Bakery’s KAMPUS site.
With all abilities welcomed, swing by and meet up with other like-minded creatives in the city for a chat, chill and sketch. The event is pay-as-you-feel, so if you can spare a couple of quid, you’re more than welcome to show your support.
The cracking new launch of the group exhibition, Hybrid Futures, comes to Salford this Thursday — highlighting universal threats of climate change, informed and inspired by each participant’s own perspectives and backgrounds.
With a core ethos of exploring sustainability and the climate crisis, this collection brings together all the work from across the Hybrid Futures project which is all about spotlighting more sustainable ways of working.
Be sure to check out the second annual Manchester Translation Series, hosted by the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University, this Thursday. The session features works from distinguished translator of nine languages Peter Constantine, and award-winning Modern Greek poet Eleni Kefala.
Expect poetry reading, a discussion on topics related to translation, visual art, multilingualism and an exploration of the roles literature holds in our current geopolitical moment.
If you’ve not sorted your Friday evening plans yet then look no further than YES for Round 6 of the Tempo Shift dance experience.
Celebrating the intricacies of tradition and the current impacts of global expression in music taking the world by storm, Manchester-based DJ, Obeka, will be spinning all the best Amapiano, Afro-Techno and AfroHouse from the late night until the early hours.
