Exhibitions in Manchester and the North
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorWe’ve got intricate textiles, a festival inspired by a medieval poem and a touring show with musings from early career artists – how good does that sound?
This month is bringing art treats all over the North, starting with Igshaan Adams: Weehoud at the Hepworth Wakefield. Wirral’s Williamson Gallery Welcomes Into The Wyld, a contemporary arts festival from artist collective Material Matters. It consists of a series of exhibitions and satellite events, all of which are related to the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
We have group shows too: in Manchester, you’ll find Air Open 2024 at Rogue Studios, while Sheffield’s Site Gallery welcomes the touring show Jerwood Survey III. In Leeds’ Hyde Park Book Club, we have Is This What We Have Left? with works considering the loss of arts spaces in cities, from Kate O’Neill, Marta Dyczkowska and James Thompson.
