Description: These are handwritten notes taken during The Brighton Dyke Collective manifesto writing workshop, ran by the research group Exploding Appendix, in March 2024. In this workshop Dykes were encouraged to ask what they wanted from their manifesto, what they wanted to say and achieve in their work, and how best to mobilise dykes in their city. These notes explore the role of thinking about utopia, rage, community, queerness and other topics when it comes to creating their manifesto.
