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:75 Memorial Flames Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A new Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition at Manchester Central Library.  \nHere’s more information about the exhibition from the organisers. \nHolocaust Memorial Day 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In commemoration of this landmark anniversary\, we ran an exciting project that organisations and community groups all over the UK took part in. \n\n\n \n\n\nFrom art groups to faith groups and charities to schools\, groups of all kinds came together to make their own Memorial Flames. Each one commemorates 75 years since the end of the Holocaust\, the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jews in Europe. \nIn November a panel of experts reviewed the artworks submitted\, and 75 Memorial Flame artworks were selected to form a national exhibition which launched at the UK Commemorative Ceremony for HMD 2020. We were pleased to then have been able to host the 75 Memorial Flames exhibition in Cardiff\, with the support of the Welsh Government. After being put on hold due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19\, we are delighted that the Museum of Liverpool will be showcasing the artworks\, with a three-week digital exhibition starting on 1 October\, and the full physical exhibition will be on display at Manchester Central Library from 10 October\, until the end of the year. \nIf you are unable to visit Manchester or Liverpool safely during this time\, you can see all 75 Memorial Flames that feature in the national exhibition\, and more from participating groups\, by exploring our 75 Memorial Flames map or view the digital exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Ancestry Talks with Paul Crooks
DESCRIPTION:Tracing African Caribbean Ancestry – Who do you think you are? \nJoin Ancestry Talks’ Paul Crooks for this captivating account of how he traced his Black Caribbean ancestors enslaved on a sugar plantation in Jamaica\, 200 years ago. In this masterclass\, Paul captivates audiences with his unique account of how he traced his roots and his family’s migration down through the generations to Windrush. \nAbout the Speaker \nTrailblazing author and family historian Paul Crooks pioneered research into African Caribbean genealogy during the 1990s. He traced his family history from London\, back 6 generations\, to ancestors captured off the West African coast and enslaved on a sugar plantation in Jamaica. \nIn the 1990’s\, Paul was told that it would be impossible to trace records of slave-ownership let alone his African ancestors enslaved on plantations in Jamaica. “No one had tried because such records did not exist.” Undeterred\, he embarked on a journey of discovery that led from suburban North London to Jamaica and ultimately back to the Gold Coast of Africa; an effort that has brought him international recognition for his breakthroughs in Tracing black ancestry. \nBook your free place via Evenbrite
