Hosted by the Performance Research Group at Manchester School of Art, Bunker Talks brings artists and researchers to The Salutation to talk about who they are and what they do.

 

 

A space for critical encounters, presentations, provocation and dialogue, Bunker Talks are linked by a line of enquiry into geo-political, ecological or economic concerns.
