ALT A chest-up portrait of Laurie Anderson holding her electric violin and standing outside in front of construction fencing, with a brick warehouse-style building behind. Laurie is white and 74 years old with short grey hair worn under a black beanie hat. She faces slightly to the left and looks far left with a closed-mouth smile. She is wearing coral lipstick, a black and grey checked shirt and a wooden beaded bracelet, and holds a long violin bow upward in her hand; her slender electric violin rests against her collarbone.

ALT The image is of a large tree in the top left overhanging a public square that has a cobbled surface; it is Albert Square in central Manchester, during MIF19, when Festival Square was hosted there. People are milling around between a wooden ramp at the front of the image and wooden food vendor huts at the back. Some people are sitting in deck chairs and others sit at the base of an old stone statue in the top right of the image. Text over the image reads: 5 WAYS WE’RE MAKING THE FESTIVAL MORE SUSTAINABLE
