Warp Festival

‘Whitworth Young Contemporaries present a warped weekend (25/26 June 16) of art, music and the unexpected beneath the trees. Programmed by 15-25 year olds from across Greater Manchester, the festival celebrates the installation of a major new sculpture by Turner Prize nominated artist, Anya Gallaccio. WYC, the Whitworth’s youth arts collective, have masterminded this free festival connecting to Anya’s work through the themes of folklore, trees and memory.’
It’s a superb event, well organised with a lovely inclusive feel. Running through the galleries and the park, the performances are vibrant, fun and strong. Here’s a selection from the Saturday:
