QC 19: Outspoken at No 70

Outspoken at Number 70 Oxford Street, Manchester, 9 February 2019, from £8 - Book now

The annual Queer Contact Outspoken event returns – this time to former Cornerhouse, No 70 Oxford Street – for a spellbinding showcase of poetry and spoken word performance to mark LGBT History Month in 2019. Curated and hosted by Manchester poet and former young programmer Mandla-Rae, the afternoon aims to celebrate Manchester’s queer women and non-binary artists.

Taking part will be the likes of Young Identity poets Ella Otomewo and Billie Meredith (recently seen performing brand-new pieces as part of the Festival of Leaving night Ode On The Road at Manchester Jewish Museum), Verbose favourite Maz Hedgehog and Bryony Bates – who can also be tracked down launching a collaborative Generic Greeting Collective pamphlet, cash/sex, with Peter Barlow’s Cigarette co-organiser Joey Frances on 17 January at Gullivers NQ.
