Stockport: History Without The Whitewash

Details

HISTORY WITHOUT THE WHITEWASH 'Based on real historical events?' I don't think so!

Join cartoonist and graphic novelist Polyp (polyp.org.uk) for an illustrated talk exploring the nuanced, controversial and often hilarious issue of telling the raw, unvarnished, warts and all truth about historical controversies.

Were the suffragettes 'terrorists'?

When does editing history for dramatic effect become a blatant lie?

And who threatened to 'take me down in public' if I published X Y and Z in a graphic biography?

We meet upstairs at The Armoury, 31 Shaw Heath, SK3 8BD. The Armoury Street Car Park (SK3 9DU) is nearby and is free at the time we meet. The resident-permit (red) bays are also generally available at the time we meet.
