NEWS BIDO LITO! SOCIAL The Bido Lito! Social is back! Our regular gig celebrating new drops of the magazine returns in July, starting a run of bi-monthly shows going through to the end of the year. The inaugural gig is a special co-promotion with Future Yard as we bring dark dreampop duo WHITE FLOWERS to the Birkenhead venue. The gig is part of Future Yard’s FUTURE NOW series of events leading up to their bank holiday weekender in August. Support on the night comes from the brilliant MONKS and rising stars A LESSER VERSION. IAMKYAMI and SPQR are announced as headliners for the September and December Socials respectively. The Social is an opportunity for readers, contributors, artists and friends of the magazine to get together to watch the best new talent we profile in these pages. bidolito.co.uk Monks BIDO LITO! DIGITAL CONTENT CREATORS Allocated to organisations around the country, charity Youth Music’s Incubator Fund is designed to bring young people from underrepresented groups into the music industry. Bido Lito! is currently on the lookout for two Digital Content Creators funded by the initiative. The six-month placement will see two young people help bring the stories, people and projects of the pink pages to life for the digital realm via film, audio and/or animation. Applications are now being accepted from 16 to 24-year-olds who have a passion for Liverpool music and expertise in multimedia production of any kind. bidolito.co.uk LIVE LAAF LOVE The climate emergency is here, and its implications are being disproportionately felt across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Returning on 16th July and running until 14th November, the 23rd Liverpool Arab Arts Festival (LAAF) will involve an artist-led response to the humanitarian crisis that is set to eclipse the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking place across the four full months for the first time, the festival programme will question and reimagine our future direction, asking: what can we learn from those stepping up to the climate crisis, and how can we collectively do more? arabartsfestival.com COMMUNITY CINEMA After a year of mostly being indoors, Liverpool 8 charity The Florrie is hoping to create an outdoor cinema in its new community garden. Helping with isolation and loneliness, the outdoor cinema will be full of experiences to positively impact physical and mental wellbeing. From socialising and taking part in fun activities, to picnicking and doing something outdoors, the concept of improving interaction within their new garden allows young and old to share a mutual love of film. The Florrie is looking to crowdfund the new initiative with a target of £16k to be reached by 19th July. Dig deep if you can. spacehive.com/community-garden-cinema MIF BUSTERS Across the M62 an impressive roster of artists from around the world are partaking in this year’s Manchester International Festival. PATTI SMITH, ARLO PARKS and CILLIAN MURPHY are among the names featured on a programme which takes place in real life as well as online as we continue to transition back to normality. MIF’s future home, The Factory, will host many events, with others taking place across Greater Manchester. For the first time, the curation of the festival has been handed over to local people to offer a snapshot of these unprecedented times. Other names on the bill include LEMN SISSAY, AKRAM KHAN and AARON and BRYCE DESSNER of The National. Patti Smith mif.co.uk 10

Luckily, the popular Summer Arts Market – where you can find stalls from over 50 independent artists, designers and makers – is back. Located in the magnificent Liverpool Cathedral on 5th and 19th June, each event will feature new stalls. While browsing the wide selection of creative crafts, gifts, artworks and artisanal foods, you can also enjoy a drink or snack at the café in The Well space. The event will be socially distanced with limited tickets available. summerartsmarket.com ART ACROSS THE MERSEY Following a staggered start battling uncertainty, MERSEY ARTS ZONE (MAZ) burst open in May to offer “a creative space for artists, photographers, makers, designers, everyone!”. This is how director Dawn Reck encapsulates her vision for MAZ, a new community arts space in New Brighton. An inclusive and participatory space, MAZ will run workshops for the local community and offer an accessible space for local artists to exhibit their work. A photography exhibition displaying work from awardwinning wildlife photographers Richard Steel and Steve Ward will run for the first month, guaranteeing that MAZ will be off to a flying start. facebook.com/merseyartszone WRITERS DIRECTORY Calling all Liverpool City Region-based writers, Culture Liverpool wants you! As part of Liverpool’s 2021 Year of Writing, Liverpool City Council’s culture arm is launching a Writers Directory, compiling details of local freelance writers and their services (workshops, mentoring, readings) for schools, colleges, universities, agents and publishers to access. Embracing the transformative power of writing, the Year of Writing brings together arts and cultural organisations, writers, artists, educators and businesses to improve Liverpool’s literacy. An inclusive literary celebration, the Year of Writing is designed to discover new voices, publish new writing and inspire imagination and creativity across the city. cultureliverpool.co.uk/writers-directory OPEN SAE-SAME For the first time since the beginning of 2020, SAE Institute is opening its doors for prospective students to experience the world-class facilities in real life.
