Yesterday I photographed the amazing ‘Written in the Margins’ event at The Manchester Jewish Museum. Part of 2016’s feminist Wonder Women Festival , Written in the Margins combined debate, spoken word and performance alongside a zine-making workshop. Claire Pollard read her interpretation of Ovid’s Heroides, followed by a fascinating panel debate about women in the music industry with Laura Snapes (editor and music journalist), Vanessa Reed (CEO of PRS Foundation), singer-songwriter Roxanne de Bastion and Chris Long (BBC Manchester Introducing,), and chaired by Stuart Maconie. To finish, an original musical composition, inspired by Ovid’s Heroides, was performed by Serafina Steer.
You can see my images from the event below.
