SUMMARY:Shirley Baker: Airport '87
DESCRIPTION:A poignant look back at at Manchester Airport as seen through the lens of acclaimed photographer Shirley Baker\, thirty years ago\, having spent a day at the airport in 1987 capturing the experiences of passengers using the airport. The exhibition includes photos chosen by the public and Manchester Airport staff.  As well as capturing various areas of the airport\, Baker’s photographs also show how people passed the time before a flight by playing cards and board games – a far cry from smart phones\, tablets and kindles!  The style of passengers is also brought into focus with big hair and plenty of shell suits on show. \nBorn in Salford\, Baker was famed for her street photography of working class inner-city areas. The photos of Manchester Airport were discovered in the archives at Central Library. They explore work created after Shirley Baker was approached by the Documentary Photography Archive (DPA)\, who were seeking to commission photographers to grow their collection of contemporary work. \nIt marks three decades since the photos were taken and visitors will also get to see what the next 30 years at Manchester Airport will look like.The airport’s famous chandeliers that used to hang in Terminal 1 also make an appearance\, along with people smoking indoors and purchasing Cinzano in duty free! \nThe exhibition comes as the airport is embarking on its £1bn investment programme that will transform the passenger experience.  As part of the exhibition a number of old photos have been blended with CGIs of how the new terminal building will look in its place.  Visitors will also be able to find out more about the developments that will see Terminal 2 more than double in size. \nAll the images are held by the Archives+ Centre at Central Library and the full commission can be viewed at www.flickr.com/gp/manchesterarchiveplus/n964Z4 \nThis exhibition is kindly supported by Manchester Airport

SUMMARY:Portrait Youth Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Metropolitan University’s Manchester Fashion Institute is involved in an exciting new project that explores the individual and civic identities of Greater Manchester’s young people through style\, fashion and dress. \nAcademics Jo Jenkinson\, John Earnshaw and Zoë Hitchen have been working with young people to establish how clothing can be used as a catalyst for self-awareness and personal expression\, capturing portraits of each participants’ identity. \nPhotographs from the Portrait Youth project will on display at an exhibition at Manchester Central Library\, opening on Monday 9th October\, as part of the Design Manchester DM17 festival. \nThe exhibition features portraits of 14 members of the Manchester Youth Council (MYC) who attended interactive workshops hosted by the University in February. MYC were the first group to be photographed for the project. Participants were asked to style themselves using their own clothing or artefacts in a way that represented their identities and to reflect upon\, and articulate\, their current\, past and future selves. \nSupported by Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

SUMMARY:In Person: World Poets Film Screening

What better way to spend your lunch time than communing with poets?

SUMMARY:Alan Hollinghurst
DESCRIPTION:In 1940 Evert Dax and David Sparsholt\, two men from very different backgrounds\, are thrown together at Oxford University\, amid the fear and recklessness of war.

It’s a masterly novel about sexuality\, art\, intimacy and family secrets from one of our most gifted writers of fiction. \nAlan’s previous novels include The Line of Beauty\, The Swimming Pool Library and The Stranger’s Child\, and his awards include The Man Booker Prize\, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Somerset Maugham Award. He will be in conversation with MLF Patron and Observer critic Rachel Cooke. \nThis event is part of Manchester Literature Festival 2017 \nBook on 0843 208 0500 or
