SUMMARY:Curry Mile – A Changing Neighbourhood
DESCRIPTION:A documentary photography project spanning 7 years (2016-2023). Photographers Michael Baker & Phil Portus explore ‘present day’ Wilmslow Road\, Rusholme\, and challenge perceptions of what ‘Curry Mile’ now represents\, as opposed to nostalgia & past recollections. The ethnic make-up of Rusholme has changed significantly over recent years. Barber shops\, shisha bars & dessert parlours have sprung up\, the traditional restaurants are less dominant\, Manchester City FC have relocated\, and the pubs have all closed. The result poses the question as to whether the term ‘Curry Mile’ is now a misnomer. \nTo accompany this exhibition\, we are hosting a talk with the photographers on Thursday 20 July at 6pm\, which can be booked on eventbrite \nFree exhibition – just drop in \nPlease make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes or online

SUMMARY:Paper Piano Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Paper Piano – A Retrospective \nFor the last 10 years\, Paper Piano have been creating music related artwork and packaging. More recently they have focused on hand-made books; this combination of music and books makes them the ideal label to exhibit at The Henry Watson Music Library. \nPaper Piano have worked with many illustrious musicians and bands. Included in the exhibition will be releases that have featured local talent including Mark Hoyle\, SPIRIT:level\, and Gideon Conn. Near neighbours The Declining Winter also make an appearance as do Motohiro Nakashima and Birds Humming the Beat\, both from Japan. \nThe exhibition will be split into two halves. The first half will focus on Paper Piano music and books\, but will also reference one-off works such as “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” collage\, currently displayed at the Working Class Movement Library\, Salford. Highlights include SPIRIT:level’s concrete plinth and The Oreoh!s Pompom EP\, two CD’s wrapped up in wool that can’t be played until a pompom is made. The second half is dedicated to the multidisciplinary artist\, DJ Goalpost. His work is even more varied and playful and almost impossible to categorize. Things to look out for here include a CD hand sewn into the shorts from a Stockport County football kit and “Don’t Give Up On Us” by David Soulpost\, DJ Goalpost’s alter-ego. \nThroughout the time the exhibition is taking place there will be a series of events featuring Paper Piano artists and also the opportunity to buy some limited edition artworks. \nFree – drop in \nPlease make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes or online

SUMMARY:Marketing the Manchester Ship Canal 1919-1939
DESCRIPTION:This new exhibition showcases a range of original publicity material and print adverts created as marketing for the Port of Manchester. This saw a revolution in publicity with modern ideas on typefaces\, much more dynamic imagery and bolder use of colour. Manchester Ship Canal Company started using imaginative visual design to sell itself more effectively internationally and encourage industrial growth around the docks. \nThe exhibition highlights the work of a fascinating array of commercial artists engaged by the Ship Canal Company. Some of the most innovative in their design work were born locally and trained at the Manchester School of Art. Highlights include the ‘ship prow’ painting created by Paxton Chadwick\, the futurist designs and humorous sketches of Bert Wilson and the quirky illustrations of John Dronsfield. It also considers the influence of the company’s publicity chief Kenneth Brady who brought new ideas in design and messaging following his appointment to MSCC in 1926. Much of material exhibited was discovered 2021 in the extensive archives Ship Canal Company held in Manchester Central Library. It includes original artwork for some of the widely used designs that have never been displayed publicly before. \nExhibition curated by Martin Dodge (Senior Lecturer in the Geography Department\, University of Manchester). Much of his research is currently focused on the historical geography of Manchester’s transport and town planning. He is fascinated by the history of the Manchester Ship Canal and understanding how it transformed the city and the wider region. \nSupported by Archives+ at Central Library\, The University of Manchester and the Manchester Geographical Society. \nFree – just drop in \nPlease make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes or online

SUMMARY:Crime Central
DESCRIPTION:As the nights get darker\, Crime Central returns with three amazing authors and three new books to chill your bones. Rob Parker welcomes Fiona Erskine\, Luca Veste and Neil Broadfoot to Central Library! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona Erskine\nEngineer by day\, writer by night. \nFiona was born in Edinburgh\, and grew up playing guitar\, riding motorbikes and jumping into cold water. After studying Chemical Engineering at University she learned to weld\, cast and machine with apprentices in Paisley before working internationally as a professional engineer. She is now based in the north east of England. \nHer latest novel\, Phosphate Rocks: A Death in Ten Objects is published by Sandstone Press in June 2021. \nFiona’s debut novel\, The Chemical Detective (2019)\, was shortlisted for the Specsavers Debut Crime Novel Award. Her second thriller in the Jaq Silver series\, The Chemical Reaction (2020)\, was shortlisted for the Staunch Prize. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuca Veste\nLuca Veste is a writer of Italian and Liverpudlian heritage\, married with two young daughters\, and one of nine children. He studied psychology and criminology at university in Liverpool. He is the author of the Murphy and Rossi series\, which includes DEAD GONE\, THE DYING PLACE\, BLOODSTREAM\, and THEN SHE WAS GONE. \nPart psychological thriller\, part police procedural\, his books follow the detective pairing of DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi. The novels are set in Liverpool\, bringing the city to life in a dark and terrifying manner…with just a splash of Scouse humour. \n“Astringent and artfully constructed.” The Financial Times \n“A darkly impressive novel… disturbing and intelligent.” The Times \n“A chilling début from a writer to watch…” Mark Billingham \n“Gripping\, unpredictable\, genuinely shocking and impossible to put down\, Dead Gone is a remarkable début.” Steve Mosby \n“A twisty\, psychological crime debut in a gritty setting: a new favourite for police procedural lovers” Clare Mackintosh \n“Tense and darkly playful.” Chris Ewan \nHe is a former civil servant\, actor\, singer and guitarist (although he still picks it up now and again)\, and now a full-time writer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeil Broadfoot\n“Neil should be better known and more widely read. A true rising star of crime fiction.” \n– Ian Rankin \nNeil Broadfoot worked as a journalist for 15 years at both national and local newspapers\, including The Scotsman\, Scotland on Sunday and the Evening News\, covering some of the biggest stories of the day. \nFalling Fast\, which was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize\, is the first in the Edinburgh-set McGregor and Drummond series of thrillers. \nHis Stirling-set series\, which begins with No Man’s Land and features close protection expert Connor Fraser\, has been hailed as “tense\, fast moving and bloody” and “atmospheric\, twisty and explosive” with a “complex cast of characters and a compelling hero”. No Man’s Land was longlisted for the 2019 McIlvanney Award.
