2018 seems to be slipping through our fingers pretty damn quick but we’re not letting it go without hot-footing it to some of these special events. Don’t forget the Salford Makers pop-up shop on Chapel Street is up and running, open 11am from Wednesday to Sunday for all your locally-made gift items (card payment only), plus a programme of creative workshops if you fancy making something for yourself. Okay where’s that diary…
// 15 November: TONIGHT. Preview for The Ground Beneath Your Feet at Castlefield Gallery, a group show including Mill artist Jane Lawson. Part of With One Voice International Arts and Homelessness Summit & Festival, international artists use film, sculpture, currency and fungi to tackle contemporary political unrest.
// 15 November: TONIGHT 8 till late at White Hotel, DRIFT is an immersive experience, part-club / part-installation. Motion and sound sensors detect audience activity producing unique responsive audio-visuals and a gradually escalating user-produced environment. Soundtrack from KYOKA and Grischa Lichtenberger of German electronic label Raster. Totally unique experience for Salford, building on an original 2014 commission for the British Science Festival.
