SUMMARY:In Praise of Blandness
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of works by Manchester based photographer\, Robert John Watson. \nHere’s what Robert says about the exhbition: \n‘In Praise Of Blandness is in no way mundane. I see the silent in the world. It is a coincidence that most of my pictures have very few or no people in them as we are just coming out of a world wide lockdown. None of the exhibited pictures were taken during this time. In fact\, I didn’t take a single picture. I did as advised and stayed at home. \nI have predominantly photographed places that go unnoticed. Places and areas that are walked past without a second thought. Often until that particular vista is gone or changed forever. I find myself photographing these views as they are quiet and suit my slow method of photography. I like working without hurry. Shooting with Large Format film demands patience. \nIn Praise Of Blandness invites the viewer to appreciate the aesthetic of the ordinary and the everyday.’ \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:An Evening with Sarah Butler
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate #LibrariesWeek with Manchester Libraries and acclaimed author Sarah Butler. \nSarah is a writer and literature activist who lives in Manchester. She has three novels published by Picador in the UK: Ten Things I’ve Learnt About Love\, Before The Fire and Jack and Bet which was published in early 2020. \nIn 2007\, Sarah established the literature consultancy UrbanWords\, through which she explores the relationship between writing and place through prose\, poetry and participatory projects. \nSarah joined Manchester Metropolitan University as Lecturer in Creative Writing in June 2018. \nSaran will be in conversation and reading from her latest novel\, followed by a Q&A and the opportunity for audience questions. \nJack and Bet \nJack is a man of few words\, married to a woman of many. He and Bet have been together for seventy years — almost a lifetime — and happily so\, for the most part. \nAll Jack and Bet want is to enjoy the time they have left together\, in the flat they have tried to make their home. Their son Tommy has other ideas: he wants them to live somewhere with round-the-clock care\, hot meals\, activities. Bet thinks they can manage just fine. \nWhen they strike up an unlikely friendship with Marinela\, a young Romanian woman\, Bet thinks she has found the perfect solution — one that could change Marinela’s life as well as theirs. But this means revisiting an old love affair\, and confronting a long-buried secret she has kept hidden from everyone\, even Jack\, for many years. \nTender\, moving\, and beautifully told\, Jack and Bet is an unforgettable novel about love and loss\, the joys and regrets of a long marriage\, and the struggle to find a place to call home. \nThe event will take place via Live Webinar. We’ll send all the details on how you can join the event in the confirmation email.
