Exhale LAUNCHES and EVENTS The official launch of the "EXHALE" publication took place at Manchester's Green Room on March 23rd 2007, though there are previews and other events in various parts of the country. “The Next Breath” project is presented for the first time in the format of a screening event, along with a live music performance with video projection and a talk/discussion led by the artists. These events, also entitled "EXHALE" are taking place in each of the five cities which have hosted and contributed to “The Next Breath”, i.e. Manchester, Glasgow, Derby, London and Plymouth. The young Glasgow-based music group "4-D" are involved in some of these performances, while the poet Khasrow Mustafa is involved in others. Some of the original "Terminal Frontiers" works is also being re-visited at these events, which are also available for further bookings. |
