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:Our Sam\, The Middleton Man
DESCRIPTION:Our Sam follows the story of a teenager\, Samantha (a secret poet)\, who travels around her home Town of Middleton observing and writing of the exclusion and voicelessness of the other young girls she sees. On her travels she learns of Samuel Bamford\, the radical\, reformer and writer who was born in Middleton in 1788. While reading Bamford’s books ‘Early Years’ and ‘Passages in the Life of a Radical’ Bamford appears to Samantha and through a series of discussions\, we learn about life in Middleton 200 years ago\, poverty\, hunger and riots brought on by the ‘Corn Laws’ and industrialisation\, the fight for representation of the Working Class in Parliament and the Peterloo Massacre. With Sam’s encouragement that ‘there’s strength in Unity lass” Samantha brings together the Towns teenagers to find a way they can represent themselves in a positive way to the adult World but Samantha\, like Bamford\, finds the road to reform a treacherous one. \nThe film screening will be followed by a Q&A \nFree – booking required \n \n
