Manchester is set to play host to a photography exhibition celebrating modern rave culture, according to an announcement from the city’s Smolensky Gallery. “Knees Up” is scheduled for Saturday, February 10, and has been organised by Tough Luck, a photographic archive dedicated to dance music cultures. Photographers displaying their work include Cinshot, George Verinder, Laks, Marzuq Rehman and Guttershotz, and the exhibition will take a look at the world of electronic music and underground parties, offering insight into “the characters that make up this vibrant subculture through the lens of our extremely talented photographers”.
The event offers a visual representation of the ways in which electronic music cultures have evolved over time, making it a promising opportunity for both exhibition-goers and music enthusiasts alike. The venue is based in Deansgate.
