Jesse Glazzard: 'The Sound of Dirt and Beauty'
31 Oct 2026 - 18:00-21:00 | Village Books, Manchester
Join us from 6pm on Saturday 31 October for the launch of Jesse Glazzard's book and exhibition The Sound of Dirt and Beauty at Village Books, Manchester.
Rooted in working-class experience and shaped by underground queer culture, Glazzard’s images combine portraiture and documentary, moving between intimate studio portraits and scenes of everyday life. Bodies, bedrooms, gatherings, fragments of diaries, and moments of tenderness are rendered with a raw immediacy that resists spectacle. Rather than presenting identity as a fixed category, the work allows people simply to appear as they are, reflecting a generation moving beyond rigid identity structures and embracing fluidity, experimentation, and chosen forms of belonging.
Part of Bound Art Book Fair weekend programme.
