Jennifer Reid performs Victorian and Georgian Lancashire dialect work song and broadside ballads sung on the streets of Manchester. After collaborating with Jeremy Deller at the Venice Biennale in 2015, she has performed internationally and locally to support communities to express their identity and heritage by understanding global capitalism through song. She performs, researches, collects, teaches, writes, sings and talks to make sure the tradition is preserved in a way that everyone can access.

Hard Art is a cultural collective of artists, organisers, scientists, democratic innovators and more, standing in solidarity in the face of climate and democratic collapse. Artists include Brian Eno, Jeremy Deller, Es Devlin and Pete Townshend, dedicated to making art that’s relevant to the time we’re in, and creating a future of care and freedom.

Presented by Broadside Hacks.
