3 things to see at… Push festival HOME’s annual extravaganza, showcasing the breadth of creative talent in the North West of England, runs from 11 until 26 January

1// ANGEL ( 19 JANUARY)

If you’re a Charli XCX fan, you would be an absolute Sucker ( sorry, couldn’t resist) to miss this curation of the pop star’s work, featuring performances inspired by her chart- smashing tunes.

2// QUEER ART TALKING CIRCLE ( 23 JANUARY)

Sharing really is caring as a collection of Manchester’s most diverse and exciting LGBT+ artists gather to talk about and support one another’s work. Audience participation is encouraged, too.

3// COME CLOSER ( 24 JANUARY)

A seemingly innocuous encounter between two men in New York, one a famous photographer, the other a drifter, takes an unexpected turn in this show featuring Gareth Cutter ( above).
