Dear
 
CultureNorthernIrelandThis issue 'we're in some sort of evolutionary cycle' with internet phenomenon Josh Harris. 'The question is will we kill or be killed?'
 
Elsewhere, John Gray checks out the new Ulster Museum, Andy White on swapping the guitar for the pen, and director Bernie McLaughlin looks forward to a packed 22nd Foyle Film Festival.

Finally, we review Terry Bradley, The Specials and Sleep Eat Party, puzzle over the first exhibition from photography collective Lightwriters and give away tickets to Brian Kennedy Out to Lunch at Queen's. 

Enjoy!
