Local / National / International is the first of a new programming series at Lowry, conceived by curator Zoe Watson. The format aims to showcase Northern artists alongside artists from further afield who’ve never shown in Salford before. By presenting the artists side-by-side, it allows us to look at the similarities and differences in their practices.

As we enter Lowry’s Aldridge Studio for the performance of As I Am Naturally by Tania Camara, the song Brinka Cumi by Batuko Tabanka, a female Cape Verdean singing group, plays through speakers and fills the space. Although the stage is empty, a group of Black women already sits at the back of the auditorium, filling about two rows of seats. They wear white tops with flashes of African print.

‘Hello, what’s your name?’ Horace Lindezey asks me as I pull out a seat at his table. ‘What year were you born?’ A slight fluster flashes over his face when I tell him 1992. ‘And what year was your mum born?’ My mum was born in 1957. ‘Ah, same as Dawn French,’ he smiles and nods.

Approaching the Grundy I’m struck by feelings of familiarity and return.

Back in 2021 the entire floor space of the Abingdon Studios show, Many Splendored Things, was painted in this bright, peachy pink.

There’s something irksome about an artist who excels in two artforms – but such are the skills of John Lyons, as accomplished a poet as a painter. Possibly it’s tied to his Trinidadian roots; a small Island of cultural fusion that has a big punch across the globe.

Memory Stone is a new commission at The Lowry mainly consisting of a film, showing in a dark, cinema style format, and an installation room beside offering a space of reflection, containing objects and projected images from the film itself. Exploring dreams and displacement within the context of the British countryside, the performative video work, scored by composer Babak Mirsalari, offers an alternative version of the Northern landscape.
