Rewriting the North: Graphic Writing with Kate Charlesworth and Una

The first of five events in 2022 welcomed graphic writers Kate Charlesworth and Una talk about their different visions and stories about the North of England visualised in their books Sensible Footwear and Eve. In A Girls Guide to Sensible Footwear, Kate Charlesworth presents a glorious pageant of LGBT history, as she takes us on a PRIDE march from the 1950s to the present day. Sensible Footwear is the first graphic history charting lesbian life from 1950 to the present. It is a stunning, personal, graphic memoir that shows Kate, growing up in Yorkshire, trying to find role models wherever she could. Una’s Eve tells the story of a young woman born into dramatic social change in the near future, brought about by environmental disaster and deep-rooted prejudice, in her Yorkshire community. Eve grows up in a loving family that is increasingly threatened by a society which seems to be sleepwalking into totalitarianism. After a catastrophe that changes everything, Eve must set off on her own, over the wild Yorkshire moors, to try to find a new way to live and love. Rewriting the North is run in tandem with the Portico Prize. Running between April and October 2022, the season explores themes in the Portico Prize 2022 winning novel, Toto Among the Murderers by Sally J. Morgan, which captures life for young women on the edges of counterculture in 1970s Sheffield and Leeds. Themes that are explored in the novel and that will be discussed during the events include the impact of male violence, memoir fused with fiction and place and identity. Rewriting the North is funded by the Arts Council and is curated by the Portico Library in partnership with the Centre for Place Writing, Manchester Metropolitan University. It was first hosted in 2019 in the lead up to the 2020 Portico Prize.
