“Manchester and Chemnitz are twin cities bonded by their respective post-industrial past. Cultural Bridge funding allows us and our partners to explore cross-cultural exchange in each city. We’ll present BUILDING OF SPINES, a new public project in libraries and, through our WOULD LIKE TO MEET residencies, create the circumstances for exchange between artists from Chemnitz and Manchester. By connecting writers from each city, digitally and in person, we’ll explore how language shifts and changes the work as the project migrates from place to place…”Richard Gregory, Artistic Director, Quarantine
