Friday
17:00-19:00
Sharp, fiery, provocative: whether designed to overthrow a political regime, promote the artistic avant-garde or blow up patriarchy, the manifesto has been the ideal literary vehicle to bring about revolutionary change. Its enduring appeal lies as much in its expressive impact, its agitprop sexiness as in its declamatory quality. This workshop sets out to ally collective writing with performance for a queer, passionate feast of words.
