// impaTV were commissioned to produce a showreel to be screened in our stand at this year’s Manchester Contemporary. Current Islington Mill artists were invited to submit images or films to be part of the piece, and to this collection was added the work of previous artists as we looked back over 20 years of independent artist support in Salford. You can now watch this beautiful film in its entirety right here, and it is a thing of beauty indeed…
