Tours and Activities in the North
Carmel Smickersgill, Tours & Activities EditorVisual art is at the forefront in this month’s tours and activities guide. From people dissecting the contemporary art world through fantasy fiction, to art you can get hands on with, as well as political art you can embark on a quest to hunt down.
Join the People’s History Museum for a game of banner bingo. Collect your bingo card, filled with iconography from the museum’s 2025 banners, and seek out colourful activist textiles.
Over in Liverpool, Bluecoat are encouraging people to get hands on with UV screen printing, one of the most ecological printing methods. They’re also hosting two legends of the contemporary art scene AKA The White Pube, as they release their book Poor Artists, a satirical look at the quest to become a professional artist in 2025.
For those who’ve had the new year thrust upon them like a low level earthquake at a plate balancing festival, we’ve also featured a sound bath in this month’s guide.
