SUMMARY:The Amazing Watkins; Manchester's Forgotten Stars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this illustrated public lecture\, by Geoff Scargill of The Watkin Society. \nAbsalom and Edward Watkin – father and son – were key figures in the development of Manchester in the 19th century. \nAbsalom helped draw up the petition that brought the horror of the Peterloo Massacre to public attention. Although he was basically a shy person and prone to depression he spent most of his adult life fighting for the rights of the poorest people. A close friend of the great Richard Cobden\, he campaigned for voting reform and for the repeal of the infamous Corn Laws that kept the price of bread so high that in bad harvest years thousands starved to death. \nAbsalom’s son\, Edward\, was one of the best-known and exciting characters of the Victorian Era. He assisted his father in the fight to repeal the Corn Laws and persuaded Manchester businessmen to close their companies at 2pm on Saturdays in what became known as the Saturday Half-day Holiday. (It was 10 years before the rest of the country caught up.) He led the campaign to create the first Parks for the People in the hellholes of industrial Manchester and Salford. Nationally and internationally famous as The Railway King\, he built the last mainline into London\, the Great Central Railway\, from Manchester. A great visionary\, he started a Channel Tunnel and an Eiffel Tower in London and helped create Canada! Knighted in 1869\, he was an MP for 35 years. When he died over 100 obituaries appeared throughout the world. \nFree – booking required – please make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in the venue\, or online

SUMMARY:An Evening with Douglas Stuart
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Libraries and Manchester Literature Festival present an Evening with Booker Prize winning author Douglas Stuart.\nFollowing on from his debut event in Manchester last Spring\, Manchester Literature Festival is excited to welcome back best-selling author Douglas Stuart for an intimate evening at Central Library. Join us to hear Douglas discuss his literary and cultural influences from his favourite working class and Scottish writers to the LGBTQ+ artists that have inspired and influenced him. He’ll also share the challenges of adapting his Booker Prize-winning novel Shuggie Bain into an 8-part television drama for the BBC. \nOne of the boldest writers of his generation\, Douglas Stuart was born and raised in working class Glasgow. After graduating from the Royal College of Art\, he moved to New York\, where he began a career in textiles and fashion design. He spent a decade writing his debut novel while balancing the demands of his day job. Shuggie Bain was finally published in 2020 and went on to win both Debut of the Year and Book of the Year at the British Book Awards alongside the Booker Prize. In 2021 a mural inspired by Shuggie Bain was unveiled on the wall of the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. Created by the city’s Cobolt Collective\, it features Shuggie dancing in the street\, together with a quote from his mother Agnes: “You’ll not remember the city\, you were too wee\, but there’s dancing. All kinds of dancing.” \nDouglas’s second novel\, Young Mungo\, was published in April 2022 to critical acclaim. Set in 1990s Glasgow\, it explores two teenage boys’ quest for love and safety in a world of tension\, violence and toxic masculinity. Douglas’s short stories have appeared in The New Yorker and he is currently working on his third novel. He will be in conversation with award-winning Northern poet\, novelist and mentor Helen Mort. Helen’s latest books are The Illustrated Woman and A Line Above the Sky. \n“There are Agnes Bains\, Shuggies & Young Mungos – broken\, closeted\, bursting to break free – hidden in the fabric of Scotland still. Douglas Stuart’s work reminds us of their beauty\, and the value of their existence.” The Face \nDoors open at 6.30pm.

SUMMARY:Sebastian Barry in Conversation with Kit de Waal
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Literature Festival is delighted to welcome Sebastian Barry back to Manchester to discuss his beautifully crafted new novel\, Old God’s Time. Recently retired policeman Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home\, a Victorian castle overlooking the Irish Sea. For months he has barely seen a soul\, catching only glimpses of his eccentric landlord and a nervous young mother who has moved in next door. But when two former colleagues turn up at his door with questions about a decades-old case\, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of his past. \nOne of Ireland’s finest storytellers\, Sebastian Barry is the author of Days Without End\, A Thousand Moons\, A Long Long Way and The Secret Scripture. The Laureate for Irish Fiction from 2018-2021\, Sebastian is also twice winner of the Walter Scott Prize and the Costa Book of the Year.

Kit is the author of the novels My Name is Leon and The Trick to Time and the memoir Without Warning and Only Sometimes. \n“Old God’s Time is a portrait of a good man facing the failings of his past. It is wonderfully alive because Barry is so attuned to the human condition\, to the poetry in ordinary lives. Full of love and grief and heartache\, this is an unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers.” Douglas Stuart \nMLF Members can book Advance Tickets from Wednesday 1 February.

SUMMARY:Section 28 - 35 years on in Manchester
DESCRIPTION:This year marks 35 years since the protest against Section 28 in Manchester. Join organisers and attendees from the time to hear more. The event forms part of LGBT History month 2023. It aims to provide insight into a specific period of LGBT history (1987-2003) in which the demonstration in Manchester was highly significant\, and which gained national recognition at the time. It will be an opportunity for those who were there organising the demonstration in 1988 to talk about the climate and their experience. There will be an introductory presentation on Section 28\, covering the build up to its inception\, and why it caused so much controversy and protest. This element recognises that the legislation has been off the statute books for a generation now\, and so an explanation will both help to understand the clause as well as the impact it had. There will also be an opportunity for questions from the audience to the speakers\, and a closing section focusing on the future. \nFree – book via link below

SUMMARY:Love is Love: LGBTQ+ History Month Film Night

We’ll be in touch with everyone who registers to let them know the winning film! \nWe’re going way back to an 80’s and 90’s classic or we’ve got two of the latest acclaimed Queer films from the 2020’s. \nHere’s more information about the four films.  \nBeautiful Thing \nIt’s a long hot summer on a housing estate in South London and the temperature is rising! Jamie is bunking off school\, while his class-mate Ste is being bullied by his drunken father. What develops is a delightful and touching romance between two boys; from the first nervous glances to the ingenious use of Peppermint Foot Lotion! \nDesert Hearts \nSet in Nevada in 1959\, the film tells the story of a university professor awaiting a divorce who finds her true self through a relationship with another\, more self-confident woman. Released in 1986 it is regarded as one of the first films to present a positive portrayal of lesbian relationships. \nFlee \nAmin arrived as a child in Denmark from Afghanistan. Today\, at 36\, he is a successful academic and is getting married to his boyfriend. A secret he has been hiding for many years threatens to ruin the life he has built for himself. For the first time\, he is sharing his true story. \nRurangi \nCaz returns for the first time since he transitioned to the home he fled a decade earlier. Despite the profound changes of the intervening years\, Caz attempts to reconnect with family and friends – including his ex-boyfriend Jem (Arlo Green)\, who is still wounded by Caz’s sudden disappearance. Max Currie’s powerful film is an authentic and emotional tale of gender\, racial and sexual identity in modern day New Zealand. \nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets for this event are on a “pay what you can” basis. They range from £0 – £5 plus the Eventbrite booking fee. \nAll tickets allow the same access to the event. This is a just a pricing system to accommodate for individual financial circumstances.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Don Paterson
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Libraries\, Faber Books and Blackwells Bookshop are proud to present An Evening with Don Paterson to celebrate the publication of TOY FIGHTS – an exquisitely sharp\, deeply humane and brutally hilarious boyhood memoir from one of the greatest writers of his generation. \nDon Paterson will be in conversation with Roma Havers\, Learning Manager from Manchester Poetry Library. \nAbout the book: \nThis is a book about family\, money and music but also about schizophrenia\, hell\, narcissists\, debt and the working class\, anger\, swearing\, drugs\, books\, football\, love\, origami\, the peculiar insanity of Dundee\, sugar\, religious mania\, the sexual excesses of the Scottish club band scene and\, more generally\, the lengths we go to not to be bored. \nDon Paterson spent his boyhood on a council housing estate. When he wasn’t busy dreading his birthdays\, dodging kids who wanted to kill him in a game of Toy Fights\, working with his country-and-western singer dad\, screwing up in the Boys’ Brigade\, obsessing over God\, origami\, The Osmonds\, stamps\, sex or Scottish football cards\, he was developing a sugar addiction\, failing his exams\, playing guitar\, falling in love\, dodging employment and descending into madness. While he didn’t manage to figure out who he was meant to be\, the first twenty years of his life – before he took a chance\, packed his guitar and boarded a train to London – did\, for better or worse\, shape who he would become. \n‘A tremendously engaging memoir\, seasoned with Don Paterson’s customary wit\, total recall and love of language. A classic of its kind.’ – William Boyd \n‘Wonderful\, aggressively wise and always – especially at its most serious – devastatingly funny.’ – Geoff Dyer \nAbout the author: \nDon Paterson was born in Dundee in 1963. His poetry has won many awards\, including the Whitbread Poetry Prize\, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize\, the Costa Poetry Award\, all three Forward Prizes and\, on two occasions\, the T. S. Eliot Prize. He was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2009. He is Professor of Poetry at the University of St Andrews and\, for over twenty-five years\, was Poetry Editor at Picador Macmillan. He also works as a jazz musician. \nRoma Havers is the Learning Manager for Manchester Poetry Library. Roma is particularly excited by the collaborative and creative possibilities of the learning programmes at Manchester Poetry Library. She is an experienced facilitator and poetry mentor and a trained Anti-Racism training Facilitator. Editor for Young Identity’s poetry press No Disclaimers\, writes and performs and sits on several youth forums and consultancy groups across Manchester. She has produced events and youth projects with Young Identity HOMEmcr\, Manchester Histories\, Amnesty International\, MIF and many others. \nDoors: 5.30\, starts: 6.00 \nTickets are £5.00 (£3.00 for Faber members / students / unwaged / 60+) or free when preordering a copy of the book. TOY FIGHTS will also be available to purchase on the night and Don will be signing copies after the talk. If you would like a signed copy but cannot make the event\, please contact us on 0161 274 3331 or manchester@blackwell.co.uk and we can arrange this for you.

The acclaimed second album received an Outstanding Legacy Award from The Akademia Music Awards as well as critical praise alluding to its timelessness\, authenticity and quality. Entropy Mag (USA) underscores its “spellbinding beauty” and “grace.” Liverpool Sound and Vision (UK) calls it “influential\,” “charming\,” “uplifting\,” and “outrageously cool.” Fatea magazine (UK) speaks of a “phenomenal album\, full of soulful and haunting melodies that will capture your heart.”. \nThe author also bares her soul with her first book of the same name. This unique accompaniment to her second album is a collection of heartfelt poems and one essay. She weaves the wealth of her life into each line\, from bouncing around the world to experiencing different peoples and settings\, while evoking a sense of magic. Her unique voice blends Western and African cultures in a soothing way evoking both inner strength and fragility. \nTiki Black has been hailed as a true visionary for her writing and for her “bewitching” (Edgar Allan Poets)\, authentic and honest (The Next Gig – Netherlands\, Entropy) performances. She now shares part of her innermost self as she launches her book and CD at Central Library. \nImage credit: Lucy Ridges Photography

SUMMARY:Male beauty vlogging in China: a masculinities perspective
DESCRIPTION:Male beauty vlogging is flourishing in China despite fears of a masculinity ‘crisis’\, sissyphobia and LGBT crackdowns. Key questions arise: To what extent does male beauty vlogging challenge the notion of a crisis of masculinity and offer new\, positive gender expressions for men? To what extent does it reinforce hierarchical and oppressive formations of gender and sexuality? This talk\, part of a series of talks from the Confucius Institute at the University of Manchester\, analyses three male beauty vloggers’ promotion of a ‘fake-natural look for straight men’ involving non-visible makeup and examines another vlogger’s critique of the feminization of visible makeup-wearing men. \nFree – book here \n
