  • Book launch

A book launch featuring readings, performances and conversations from contributors to Gestures: A body of work (co-edited by Alice Butler, Hilary White and Nell Osborne, Manchester University Press, 2025).

Combining creative and critical methods, this cross-disciplinary collection contributes an original feminist investigation of embodied, affective, and political gesture in/as feminist art and writing. This event will expand on the book's 'gestural', embodied, and performative methodologies in a live setting. The programme of readings, performances, and conversations will both reflect on, and newly mobilise, the creative forms and critical ideas of the book off the page and in dialogue with others.

With special guests to be announced!
