Slugs: a manifesto Summary

Slugs: a manifesto by Abi Palmer

Why be a slug? Slugs: A Manifesto explores a creature that survives by being disgusting. Weaving together manifesto, memoir and poetic language, Abi Palmer considers the politics of space, iridescent queerness, and shapeshifting viscous 'slug time.' In the face of a potential apocalypse, Slugs: A Manifesto envisions a future where humanity becomes just a little more sluglike. The work will be developed alongside Palmer's debut exhibition, Slime Mother at Chapter, Cardiff (July 2024)..

Slugs: a manifesto Reviews

Abi Palmer has sliced something so delicate and unwieldy into perfectly matched halves and it is like an actual real genuine magic trick. The best kind of fiction, the best kind of art the kind that makes you blink in surprise at the world around you, not quite sure whats real and whats going on, but also: you love it.
- Zarina Muhammad, The White Pube

All hail Abi Palmers Slugs: A Manifesto, at once an addictive art world gossip column, a crip phenomenology, and a glistening, utopian theory of gender, queerness and desire. From these sticky trails the slug emerges as a slippery figure of dissent and persistence, whose very provocation of disgust ensures its survival.
- Daisy Lafarge
