The new site-specific show, On Corporation Street<\/em>, was devised by an\u00a0Irish theatre company and was commissioned by HOME, whose theatre programme is run\u00a0by a\u00a0German artistic director. An\u00fa and\u00a0Walter\u00a0Meierjohann have put together a memorable piece of work\u00a0which responds to the\u00a0twentieth anniversary of the\u00a0IRA bombing of Manchester’s city centre.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0international aspect of their\u00a0collaboration feels doubly appropriate today, as the referendum result sinks in. \u00a0The commemorative focus of the show seems foggier than the way it\u00a0considers the long-term impacts of a narrowly nationalist ideology through a series of stunning images, one of which, a foreshortened room whose ceiling is hung with useless keys to destroyed buildings resonates with the UK’s imminent departure from a club which had wanted it as a member.<\/p>\n

It is not unusual, or<\/em> a recent development, for northern English cities like Manchester to mix together workers from many different countries, and anyone who has recently\u00a0visited the schools of these cities will know that the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the past month’s campaign will mean nothing to the coming, globalized generations of English voters. We see this too in our\u00a0inbox of submissions from all around the world, and in\u00a0the diverse backgrounds of the writers and artists we publish in this journal. And we are delighted that the republic of letters continues to generate such interesting communications.<\/p>\n

Among all the great work here, we hope you will enjoy Aliyah Hussain’s images,\u00a0Janet Wolff’s great essay on Scarlett O’Hara’s\u00a0border-crossing dress\u00a0and\u00a0the Canadian poet Nyla Matuk’s London night out:<\/p>\n

We\u00a0drink at The Gun, spot
\nTracy Emin\u2019s \u2018International,\u2019
\nand then the thundering of the storm.
\nWe\u2019re hurried up; it\u2019s time.<\/p>\n
