På tværs af by- og landegrænser samarbejdede Manchester Literature Festival, Young Identity, LiteratureXchange i Aarhus og Ordkraft i mere end to år om projektet Cities Untold.
Som en del af projektet fik seks talentfulde unge forfattere - Billie Meredith, SAF-S2E, Cassandra Marie Geyti, Silas Toft, Marie Laurberg Nielsen og Selina Rom Andersen - til opgave at skabe et nyt værk, inspireret af fælles ophold i hinandens byer. Projektet blev koordineret af Cathy Bolton, Shirley May (Manchester), Vita Andersen, Jørgen Dissing Nørgaard (Aalborg), Jette Sunesen og Lise Kloster Gram (Aarhus), og produceret af Nicole May.
Projektet er blevet generøst støttet af Manchester City Council, Arts Council England, Kulturministeriet – Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen, Statens Kunstfond, Aarhus Kommune og Aalborg Kommune.
