Loitering with Intent Launch

Part of  Loitering with Intent: The Art and Politics of Walking in Manchester and Beyond
Running until 14th October at People’s History Museum

Come and celebrate the launch of the Loitering With Intent exhibition with a project that combines three of our favourite things – Manchester, DIY maps and cake.
Official maps are about power and control. The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement) want to redraw the lines and break down barriers; our maps focus on stories, feelings and whatever takes your fancy. The Cake Map of Manchester invites you to take a bite out of the city, with each piece representing a place. We want you to choose one to eat.
Is it somewhere special to you, are you consumed with love and want to keep it safe?
Or is it somewhere you dislike and you want to get rid of it? Be a Godzilla and destroy your least favourite building!
Perhaps you just want to know what flavour Central Library is or taste the canal without the risk of falling in…..
The choice is yours. LRM members will record stories you wish to share and these will help shape the direction of future wanders.


To create our cartographic spectacle we have teamed up with our friends at The Cake Liberation Front; a baking group for anyone interested in cooking without animal ingredients. All cakes will be 100% delicious and gluten free cakes will be available. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a treat and tell us what they think about Manchester. Please come along and play with us, devour the buildings you dislike and help us find the edible heart of our world.

12.00noon-4.00pm at People’s History Museum £3 Suggested Donation

Loitering with Intent Opening Party

Come and celebrate the opening of Loitering With Intent – because music, friends old and new, and a favourite pub is much more our style than a private view. Music is the Manchester debut of The New Seegers:

Bicycle-riding theatre company The Handlebards will bring their brilliant all-female version of Romeo and Juliet to our very own Fallowfield Loop cycle route in Manchester as part of a tour to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

The Handlebards ‘4 for 400’ season includes four plays each performed by four actors in over 70 venues over the summer. The troupes carry all their costumes, props and sets by bicycle, travelling across the National Cycle Network to reach their shows.

Cycle or walk to the open-air show at Levenshulme along our linear traffic-free path, which runs between Chorlton to Gorton, and bring a picnic and a blanket or portable chair.

There will be three led rides to the event at Levenshulme – from Chorlton at one end of the Fallowfield Loop, Debdale Park at the other end, and Heaton Moor

SPRANK (netherlands)
Acoustic folk trio with instruments like clarinet, accordion and a peculiar “washtub bass”, they lead their varied repertoire of folk-tinged ballads and klezmer waltzes leap to frenzied dance and critical speech. Sprank has only just ascended the stage and seems to thrive in cozy living rooms,a pleasant people’s kitchen and on any arbitrarily street corner…

SHIREEN (netherlands)
Many crises manifest themselves in the traditional folk-songs that she likes to borrow, like excessive drinking, poverty and violence. crisis folk is the type of songs that she likes to sing. Alongside these songs, she sings about other more contemporary crises. About Europe becoming more and more like a fortress with the ever increasing border controls and violent repression of the ‘sans-papiers’ and ‘no border’ activists. Or the damage that is done to ecosystems in search of profit. Of course these are love songs too. As you cannot fight without loving.

The organisers reserve the right to deny or revoke entry to the event and will take great delight in doing so if you act like an anti-social person.
