The al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition project was created as an arts community response to the car bombing of al-Mutanabbi Street, and has been organising readings and events since April 2007 and fundraising for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). As part of the European tour of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Broadsides, we are showing a selection of the 130 letterpress printed broadsides created for the project, at Bower Ashton Library, UWE Bristol, from 8th December 2010 - 30th January 2011 and at Ink Spot Press, Brighton from 10th December 2010 - 10th January 2011.
