📚 Zine Spotlight🌟   Check out this week's staff pick, recommended by Vivien who works as an Academic Skills Consultant here at Salford.   "My recommendation is 'Poor lass' (issue 7) which is about different people's experiences of racism-one in which the writer found themselves inadvertently part of a far right group and others about having their names mispronounced and instances of 'microagressions'.'"   Find this zine in our library on the ground floor of Clifford Whitworth. Visit the link in our bio for more info on our zine maker space. ✨

"I found a few copies of this in the Zine Maker Space drop box a couple of weeks ago. It's about living with a catheter. I love how it uses the simple format of a zine to get across a really personal experience that is probably very hard to talk about."

On #VyshyvankaDay some info about Ukrainian embroidery in the Alla Horska Folk Art Museum. It represents the cultural identity of Ukrainians who came to the UK in the wake of the Second World War as displaced people
