This time next week we are excited to be in Manchester chatting with Rob Ellison and Benita Finanzio, founders of Tonic Magazine.
Curated in collaboration with CUPRA City Garage and Cutlass, Manchester in Print brings together a panel of editors and creatives from across the UK’s independent print landscape, spanning fashion, music, architecture, food and culture.
The evening will include:
✨Eddy Rhead from local champions The Modernist, Manchester’s unique magazine and architecture and design store, in conversation with Sarah Hardacre, visual artist and cultural producer
✨Rob Orchard, founder and editor of the slow news magazine Delayed Gratification, in conversation with Rob Ellison and Benita Finanzio, founders of Tonic Magazine
✨Richard Kelly, acclaimed Manchester photographer and lecturer at the Manchester Fashion Institute, in conversation with textiles and sculpture artist, and manager of SeeSaw Space, Charlotte Holt, about the role of photography in elevating print and how the visual identity of a city is captured in its pages
Magazines are an integral part of our culture, perfectly placed to signal your tastes, your values and your creative world. From student zines to collectible editions, Manchester in Print will spotlight why print continues to thrive and how it remains a powerful cultural marker.
