SUMMARY:Richard Cobden – Manchester Citizen to ‘International Man’
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition tracing Richard Cobden’s life\, career and legacy \nRichard Cobden (1804-1865) is usually remembered as leader of the Anti-Corn Law League\, which campaigned for free trade in food during the ‘hungry forties’\, but his public career embraced far more. He was a supporter of educational reform\, press freedom\, and extension of the vote. He was a leading figure of the international peace movement\, a critic of British foreign policy\, and an opponent of slavery and imperialism. However\, before he became the ‘international man’\, Sussex-born Cobden was an active Manchester citizen: a contributor to local societies and leading campaigner behind the establishment of Manchester’s first elected municipal council. \nGround Floor\nTurn left after Archives+ entrance:\nCobden and Manchester\nAnti-Corn Law League Manufacturer \nFirst Floor (Displays found throughout primary corridor outside Reading Room): \nMan on the Make to ‘Manchester Manufacturer’\nEducational Reformer\nAnti-Corn Law Leaguer\nApostle of Free Trade\nPeace Campaigner\nChampion of the Press\nTreaty Negotiator\nFriend of America\nFamily Man \nDisplays in Reading Room:\nDeath and Memorialisation\nLegacy and Inheritance \nThe exhibition is part of a project led by Leeds Beckett University and the University of East Anglia and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council\, which is making thousands of Cobden’s letters available online and using his correspondence to develop teaching materials around the theme of active citizenship. \nFree – just drop in – please consider making a donation to support our cultural programme if you can\, either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library

SUMMARY:50 Years of Rock Photography
DESCRIPTION:Jill Furmanovsky : Photographing the Invisible \nFor the last 50 years\, Jill Furmanovsky has been photographing music’s greatest icons. Now for the first time\, Jill has created a fascinating retrospective featuring some of her most famous works as well as hidden gems from her extensive archive. \nGuest curated by Noel Gallagher and photo-historian Gail Buckland\, the exhibition which is presented by Rockarchive.com features over 100 images including subjects such as Pink Floyd\, Led Zeppelin\, Miles Davis\, The Police\, Bob Marley\, Chic\, The Rolling Stones\, The Clash\, The Cure\, Amy Winehouse\, Stevie Wonder\, The Pretenders and Beyonce\, to name just a few. \nHighlights include ‘meditations from the pit’ that capture the sheer joy and exuberance of live photography\, intimate on-the-road shoots carried out for the music press of the 70’s\, 80’s and 90’s and fashion-inspired portraiture from The Face era. Through the exhibition\, visitors will be witness to Jill’s unique relationship with her subjects including more reclusive subjects such as Jeff Buckley\, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan\, as well as open-armed collaborations with Chrissie Hynde\, Madness\, and her greatest muse\, Oasis\, for whom Jill has included a section of previously unseen images. Contemporary content includes photographs taken in her year as Abbey Road’s artist-in-residence in 2017 and shots from the Glastonbury Festival featuring Stormzy and Billie Eilish. \nBringing the stories behind some of the imagery closer\, an audio tour narrated by Jill and some special guests will be available for visitors to access through their own headphones. \nFree – please consider making a donation to support our Library Live programme if you can\, either online\, or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library

SUMMARY:"You can see me\, but I don't exist"
DESCRIPTION:While photographing refugees in France\, Belgium\, Austria\, and Sweden in 2018\, Alan Gignoux noticed that a recurring theme among them was the gradual erosion of self\, resulting from prolonged periods of living at the fringes of society. Similarly\, he heard many of them talk of being invisible both to the immigration bureaucracies and to the wider societies in the countries in which they were seeking asylum. \nHe was particularly struck by the words of a young Afghan man in his final year at school who was seeking asylum in Sweden: “You can see me\, but I don’t exist.” The young man was awaiting a response to his third and final appeal for permission to remain in the country and was expressing frustration at the way in which the asylum process had suspended him for years in a no man’s land of enforced separation from Swedish society. Borrowing its title from the young man’s words\, this UK-based project aims to explore the dehumanisation experienced by people seeking refuge. Working with a camera obscura\, Gignoux used a long exposure to blur the identity of the refugees whom he photographed while leaving the background in focus. This intentional blurring has a practical purpose as many people seeking refuge live in fear of the authorities and prefer to remain unidentifiable. However\, it is simultaneously intended to be a visual metaphor for the corrosive impact of the asylum-seeking process on people. \nGignoux wanted to include the refugees’ voices in the project and so he invited the people whom he photographed\, as well as other refugees who wanted to participate\, to write a creative response to the blurred portraits. \nTheir creative writing was developed in workshops led by experienced poets. Working together as a group\, or individually\, the people addressed the themes that the portraits explore. \nAlan Gignoux worked with Everything Human Rights\, a community group offering a variety of services with the aim of promoting the wellbeing and integration of migrant ethnic minorities living in Wigan borough. The writing workshop leader was poet Ambrose Musiyiwa. \nThe free to enter exhibition is a collaboration between Alan Gignoux and Manchester Central Library. Image Copyright: Alan Gignoux. \nTo mark the launch of this free exhibition\, you are invited to attend the opening event in Central Library’s Reading Room on Friday 2 June at 6:30pm. Reserve a place for this here on eventbrite \nFree exhibition – just drop in – please consider making a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library. Thank you. \n“You can see me\, but I don’t exist” was made possible by a National Lottery Grant awarded by Arts Council England
