Variant Special Issue Launch

Join us for the launch of a special issue of Variant magazine published in memory of former editor Leigh French, who died suddenly in May 2023. This will be the first chance to get your hands on this new print issue before it is distributed around cultural venues and later published online.

The issue holds contributions from artists and writers, many of whom had long-running relationships with Leigh and Variant, and others who are publishing within Variant for the first time: Jonathan Anderson, Dave Beech, Jon Blackwood, Neil Clements, Gair Dunlop, Communal Leisure, Jamie Cooper, Anthony Davies, Neil Gray, Michelle Hannah, Danny Hayward, Anthony Iles & Nick Thoburn, Nabila Irshaid, Shona Macnaughton, Mira Mattar, Chad McCail, Hussein Mitha, Benjamin Noys, Hardeep Pandhal, Mick Peter, Paul Pieroni, Hannah Proctor, Joey Simons/Glasgow Housing Struggles Archive, Mike Small, Euan Sutherland, Bechaela Walker, Abigail Webster

Drinks and crisps will be served
