SUMMARY:The Door Opened: 1980s China
DESCRIPTION:One can argue that nostalgia is the strongest emotion\, a pure mixture of wistfulness and melancholy. Adrian Bradshaw\, an English photographer\, brings that sense of yearning into full focus in this exhibition presented by the Confucius Institute at The University of Manchester. Featuring a blend of candid and posed photographs which explore China in the 1980’s; from opulent fashion extravaganzas to sentimental family excursions\, Bradshaw captures the fleeting beauty and simplicity of everyday life. \nFree – drop in – please consider making a donation if you can either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library

SUMMARY:Breaking the News Exhibition and Archive Handling Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The news has the power to make or break elections\, to change the course of history or to alter our perspective on the city and country we live in. We expect the news to speak truth to power\, but can it ever really be objective? Is your news the same as everyone else’s? How do you use the news to navigate the world around you? \nCentral Library will be hosting a series of pop-up handling sessions tied in with the new Breaking the News Exhibition at the British Library.The sessions will be looking at how major local\, regional and international events have been reported using the original newspapers and magazines from the time. Come and see how the major events of the last 200 years were reported. \nHow did local and national newspapers reflect the two World Wars and the struggle for Women’s Rights. \nHow did the Manchester Evening News report significant local events from the Munich Air Crash to the Manchester Blitz. \nHow does a newspaper’s own perspective (Socialist Worker\, Gay Times\, Private Eye affect the way it reports on the world). \nThe display runs from February 24th until August 21th 2022 and alongside the display panels we will be running regular weekly handling sessions. Dates for the handling sessions will be announced very soon. \nBreaking the News: The Launch Debate will be live streamed from Leeds Central Library this Thursday 24th February at 7pm. You can register for this FREE event here. \nThe major new Breaking the News Exhibition will be at the British Library from 22 April to 21 August 2022. \n#BreakingTheNews

SUMMARY:GHOORNI – a Disastrous Cycle by Ayna Arts
DESCRIPTION:A powerful drama performance about a young person piecing together their grandfather’s arrival in the UK from Bangladesh in the ’70s\, when due to the colonial legacies of conflict and poverty he left a country with little climate impact to work in a UK industry with high climate impact. This climate impact would be damaging mostly his own home country rather than the country he ended up working for. His grandchild is climate vigilant through their lessons in school\, but only through the grandfather’s story do they realise the global system that brought them here is the same as that which is destroying the climate especially for Bangladesh. Performance will be followed by a Q+A session. \nFree – please make a donation if you can
