As part of Chorlton Arts Festival 2015, currently underway, six
critically acclaimed and award-winning writers each sharing an interest in
psychogeography and urban exploration have penned pieces about ghost places and
the re-appropriation of spaces. Sarah Butler, Sarah-Clare Conlon, Claire Dean,
Kate Feld, David Gaffney and Nicholas Royle will perform their site-specific
short stories and present postcards from the past at this special event, Re/Place - stories that are right up your street.
Supported by Arts Council England. The event will also include a screening of
private home movies shot in Chorlton in the fifties and sixties, provided by
the North West Film Archive.
