From a symposium on defiant women artists spearheading the 1970s art scene to a new cafe menu, The Portico Library’s May schedule promises a wide selection of events for everyone to enjoy…
Scheduled inevitably for Friday The Thirteenth, The Creative Society Manchester will put on an immersive art workshop inspired by Mary Shelley’s iconic story of grotesque despair. Laden with props, music and technical tips, it would be unlucky indeed to miss this evening of entertainment.
Author Lucy Ward discusses her latest book on Catherine the Great, smallpox and vaccination in an evening of captivating history that spills over with unsettling modern-day relevance. Part of Feminist Book Fortnight, the event features live British Sign Language interpretation.
While making clear that the Lancashire Hotpot (and Vegan ‘Notpot’) remain immovable customer favourites, The Portico is unveiling an otherwise new menu that offers the best of locally-sourced produce.
Thu 5 May - Thu 19 May, The Portico Library, 57 Mosley St, Manchester M2 3HY
