"Tasked with writing love letters, a number of established writers sat with over 100 Manchester residents. They engaged in a dialogue that inspired the writing of letters which the participants could take home. These love letters were not necessarily required to be written to a person, but were open-ended towards objects, places and memories ... the aspiration is to paint a social portrait through prose and poetic form by way of public declarations of intimacy." Kemang Wa Lehulere.
