SUMMARY:Made in Manchester Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Visit our art installation which was commissioned to celebrate the multilingual poem ‘Made in Manchester’.  Local artist\, Emma Martin worked with nine schools to create this artwork\, with around 200 pupils creating colourful portraits of classmates onto the multiple-language verses of the Made in Manchester poem.  These portraits were cut and reformed into a finished art piece. \nLocal poet\, Zahid Hussain created his original Made in Manchester poem in English.  This was used as inspiration for a community project run by Read Manchester\, inviting local residents and school children to write some lines in response in both English and a second language/mother tongue.  From the hundreds of entries received\, sixty-three languages were selected. These entries were interwoven to create a multilingual Made in Manchester poem which will be revealed to the public on 11 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Whose Knowledge Matters
DESCRIPTION:Whose knowledge matters when we represent the city? Who decides what land to protect or destroy\, whose heritage to celebrate\, whose stories to tell and who gets ‘seen’ in the visual and spatial record of the city? This exhibition presents a series of counter-maps to explore different histories and residents’ knowledge from across Greater Manchester. Maps are only one way of seeing the city\, just as statues and plaques represent a mere fraction of our history and heritage in our diverse and divergent urban spaces. Counter-maps trouble and disrupt formal representations of the city which map physical locations but blank residents’ memories\, hopes and ideas. \nThis exhibition will present different kinds of maps to show what matters to residents of Greater Manchester\, produced as part of a collaborative research process with local groups. We aim to provoke reflection on whose knowledge matters in the context of a vast and rapidly changing urban landscape. \nYou can take part by interacting with the exhibition to tell us what histories\, heritage\, protests and people matter to you and how these can be better valued\, or coming to one of our events #KnowledgeMattersGM \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Women of Aktion
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition sharing the story of the German Revolution 1918 and reclaiming the voices of the female revolutionaries who have\, until now\, been hidden from the official narrative. In November 1918\, Germany erupted with a revolution which led to the establishment of the first democracy on German soil\, the end of oppressive censorship\, and the end of the war. \nAll across Germany\, people took to the streets demanding peace\, bread and a new political system\, and among them were many women. This exhibition uncovers the hidden voices of the female revolutionaries and shares their eyewitness accounts. What kind of a world did they want and how did they seek to achieve it? Remembering women’s anti-war protest and revolutionary roles are important for activism today to give women back their radical history and remind us that political gains have never been wrested from the powerful and privileged without vocal\, organised pressure and collective action\, and that nothing has been won or defended without persistence\, often over many decades. \nFree- please drop in

SUMMARY:The Peterloo Photograph with Michael Wood and Michala Hulme
DESCRIPTION:Clearing out his parents house after his mother’s death two years ago\, Michael Wood found a box of memorabilia. There were photos\, letters\, postcards\, and books that had belonged to his father\, whose family had lived in Failsworth in Manchester from the 1720s. Among them was a photograph from 1884 showing a group of eleven Peterloo veterans from Failsworth. In 1819\, young men and women\, they had marched with Sam Bamford’s Middleton contingent to St Peters Fields\, carrying a banner which they saved from the troops\, and now proudly displayed for the camera 65 years on. This is thought to be the only surviving image of Peterloo veterans. So who were they? What were their stories? Starting with the photo Michael uncovers a fascinating tale of family history\, local politics and the national story. \nJoin Michael as he discusses the search for Peterloo Descendants\, drawing on Michala Hulme’s research into a photograph of the Failsworth Veterans of Peterloo\, in which 11 men and women are pictured together. \nThere will be a Q&A following the event\, exploring the details behind Michala’s research. \nMichael Wood \nFor thirty years now\, historian and broadcaster Michael Wood has made compelling journeys into the past\, bringing history alive. He is the author of several highly praised books on English history including In Search of the Dark Ages\, Domesday\, and In Search of England and he has now made well over one hundred documentary films. Michael is currently The University of Manchester’s Professor in Public History. \nMichala Hulme \nMichala Hulme is a professional genealogist and social historian at Manchester Metropolitan University.
