Jamie Fitzpatrick's colourful, performative work sets patriarchal authoritarianism’s tired aggression in its sights and, with absurdity, contradiction & humiliation, finds antidote to poisoned, popular representations of masculinity. See his work at @Touchstones until 7 Dec.

‘This girl from Kinngait was just making such impactful, simple drawings that she really forced change’
Listen to curator Nancy Campbell discuss how Annie Pootoogook rewrote the discourse of Inuit art.
Contemporary Forward retweeted
Now open! An artist with singular clarity of vision, Annie Pootoogook's tender drawings depict poignant moments of emotion or violence in everyday Inuit life. On show @Touchstones Rochdale until September: bit.ly/2Y7QSzu

Just to let you know, Harry Meadley’s #ButWhatifWeTried @Touchstones is on till next weekend, don’t miss it! This is what happens when you make the effort to get it all out, just saying 😊 contemporaryforwardrochdalea… @ContempForward – at North West, England
'What do public museums collect and why? What stories emerge to frame the visitor’s encounters with the art that they see, & cloak the art that they don’t? How do these stories change over time?'
An interesting read from @mcrartgallery...
