Why be a slug? Slugs: A Manifesto (Makina Books) explores a creature that survives by being disgusting. Weaving together manifesto, memoir and poetic language, artist 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.

Palmer was joined in conversation with Zarina Muhammad of The White Pube, co-author of the forthcoming Poor Artists (Particular Books).
