EQUALITY is the subject of Metal’s next exhibition run by its Future Station volunteer network of artists and local residents.

The group will take over the Edge Hill Station arts centre for a creative festival that asks the questions: Is everybody born equal? Do we have equality? Is full equality possible? Is it desired? How equal are we? What about difference?

The Your Station festival will use visual art, poetry, performance, writing and film to explore the theme with highlights including a performance and workshop with one of India’s leading alternative theatre directors, Parnab Mukherjee.

The North West premiere of Arise, You Gallant Sweeneys!, a documentary following a number of Irish males who migrated to Britain during the building boom of the 50s and 60s, will also feature.

Philosophy in Pubs will hold a number of discussions throughout the event and there will also be an exhibition.

YOUR Station is at Metal from August 6-20.
