On Wednesday 2nd July, curated in collaboration with CUPRA City Garage and Cutlass, Manchester in Print will bring together a panel of editors and creatives from across the UK’s independent print landscape, spanning fashion, music, architecture, food and culture.

- Rob Orchard, founder and editor of the slow news magazine Delayed Gratification, in conversation with Rob Ellison and Benita Finanzio, founders of Tonic Magazine
- Richard Kelly, acclaimed Manchester photographer and lecturer at the Manchester Fashion Institute, in conversation with textiles and sculpture artist, and manager of SeeSaw Space, Charlotte Holt, about the role of photography in elevating print and how the visual identity of a city is captured in its pages
