ROOT-ed (Revolution Of Our Time) is a self-published zine and social platform that aims to promote, support, represent and inspire creative people of colour within the North West of England.
Join the founders of ROOT-ed, Amber Akaunu and Fauziya Johnson, for a talk on establishing the zine and their experiences so far. Amber and Fauziya will give insight into each zine, how they collaborate with artists, and support the publication through fundraising. They will also talk about discrimination they have faced and the influence of social movements, particularly BLM.

HYPERTEXT is a virtual art book fair presented by Bound Art Book Fair in collaboration with Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool. Bound Art Book Fair is typically held at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, but took the decision to create an online event for 2020 in order to support our community in this time of crisis, and drive revenue to artists and publishers. The free public programme of online events co-programmed with Open Eye Gallery included panel discussions, lectures, slideshows and site-specific presentations, with a specific focus on new work, work in progress, or events which demonstrate innovative ways to present publications in digital space. HYPERTEXT is supported by Arts Council England.
Open:
10am – 5pm, Tue – Sun
