Loiterers Resist

Drifting through the city of Manchester one finds fellow wanderers walking in the same direction, or perhaps just loitering…like our friends from the Loiterers Resistance Movement, whose Second Accidental International Festival of Psychogeography is on now. Have a dérive across to the address below for more details…

Stories from the City

Behind the visible built environment of the city lurk fictions and memories latent within urban space. The abandoned stories and neglected narratives that echo through the red-brick ruins of post-industrial Manchester represent a drift of deleterious dereliction, a literary psychogeography of the city where spectres of a forgotten past ghost-write their tales onto the decaying urban fabric. Part of Ruinous Recollections is unearthing these stories, and connecting them with contemporary artists, who through their work can elaborate upon the myths of city space.
