Chester Tenneson creates a site-specific, upscaled transcription of Gloria Kiconco's zine-based writings, positioned within the Manchester Poetry Library architecture.
The transcription forms a backdrop to Gloria Kiconco's, writers residency and exhibition at the Poetry Library.
The residency draws on a project 'Questioning the form' which took place in Kampala in 2020, with two groups of women who experienced marginalisation. In the groups the women explored alternative identities, with a particular focus on what it is to 'question' the form, making zines to explore their identities. These zines are now coming to Manchester Poetry Library in the form of an exhibition exploring what it is to question the form. The QTF zines will be presented alongside zine projects by Gloria Kiconco that trace her practice from 2016 to 2021.
