Handmade calling Makers/Hackers/Crafters

The call is now open for submissions to join us at Handmade: Digital | DIY | Craft, at Victoria Baths, Manchester May 14 2011, brought to you as part of the FutureEverything 2011 Festival in Manchester, England, on 11-14 May 2011. This is your chance to show Manchester what you’re all about, working alongside a brand new VB Arts Commission by Table Top Experiments and Owl Project artist Antony Hall as well as workshops brought to the public by MzTEK (Space Studios, London) and FABlab. Handmade is about Contemporary craft, digital hacking, interactivities and DIY culture. A new maker community is emerging, connecting the culture of traditional skills and materials with modern-day digital production, distribution and interaction techniques. FutureEverything invites makers to create objects, installations and performances that explore the cross-fertilisation of new and traditional media and materials. If you are looking to showcase pre-existing or new work please fill in the application form to secure your place. Further details are included in the application form and an information pack will be sent out to successful applicants after the deadline date. Deadline for submissions Monday 18 April 2011 at 2pm
