Weaving together manifesto, memoir and poetic language, artist Abi Palmer considers the politics of space, iridescent queerness, and shapeshifting viscous ‘slug time’. In the face of a potential apocalypse, Slugs: A Manifesto envisions a future where humanity becomes just a little more sluglike.Palmer will be in conversation with Zarina Muhammad of The White Pube, co-author of the forthcoming <a href="https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/poor-artists-the-white-pube" title="https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/poor-artists-the-white-pube" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Poor Artists</a> (Particular Books). Slug as ghost, doppelgänger, pornstar, omen and role model. Palmer invites us to consider and envy this controversial creature to cleanse our own controversies with slime.— Jen Calleja All hail Abi Palmer’s Slugs: A Manifesto, at once an addictive art world gossip column, a crip phenomenology, and a glistening, utopian theory of gender, queerness and desire. From these sticky trails the slug emerges as a slippery figure of dissent and persistence, whose very provocation of disgust ensures its survival. Palmer’s ode to the slug — sexy, mucosal and complicated — is essential reading for anyone interested in the headfucky negotiations of being a body.— Daisy Lafarge
