From some awe-inspiring exhibitions to activist meditation sessions to indie film screenings–we have most definitely got you covered for the best free things to get stuck into in Manchester this week.
Here’s the rundown…
Check out artist Fleur Yearsley this Friday for her impressive solo exhibition, Coming Up, which explores the importance of space, the scale of things and why this matters alongside notions of generational shared experiences.
With a live DJ to soundtrack your walkthrough of Fleur’s fantastic paintings, this event encourages viewers to reconnect with one another through the medium of art and to find the ways in which we can all be unified through relatable memories, life events and personal experiences.
Head to Altrincham this Thursday for the grand opening night of AIR Gallery’s newest exhibition and their first show of 2022, The Unstable Line.
Featuring the work of nine impressive artists who all utilise line drawings in their work in vibrant and diverse ways—this exhibition invites viewers to explore the concept of a line and the limitless ways it can be used to represent other things.
Ducie Street Warehouse’s Mini Cini will be screening three cracking short films this Wednesday as part of their Wellness & Mental Health take over. Featuring the works of three impressive LGBTQ+ creatives based in Manchester, Superbia Cinema is bound to be your go-to mid-week motive.
Playing A Love Letter, The Cost of Living and Requiem—be sure to stick around after the films have ended for an extra special Q&A with the film-makers themselves.
If you’re after something super wholesome then look no further as this one is definitely for you. Join the Springwater Sketchbook Walks to explore wild nature through the medium of drawing and mark-making.
All about championing a creative community spirit in Manchester, these walks are a great way to get out and bask in the fresh air, meet some new people and end your week the right way.
