Who Goes There: Immune System Friend or Foe?

Artisticus is running a series of combined creative writing & visual arts workshops that will explore workings of the human immune system as a metaphor for social, cultural and political concerns. For example, how the immune system defines and labels: Self & Other; Normal & not Normal; Natural & Unnatural; Healthy & Unhealthy; Native and Foreign; and Fish & Chips and Curry. The workshop will explore how society excludes people by labelling them "Other", "Foreign", "not Normal" etc & will also look at co-option and assimilation when "Them" becomes "Us".

In partnership with Commonword, there is a workshop for Disabled or Deaf people (Sat 11 Dec) and another for disabled and Black or Ethnic minority (Sat 15 Jan).

There are limited places so please book early by contacting (preferably by email or letter) Mickey Fellowes, Artisticus, St. Thomas Centre, Ardwick Green North, Manchester M12 6FZ (0161 273 4664, [email protected])
