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:When the Dust Settles - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:There are currently thousands of refugees in the UK waiting for decisions on their family reunion applications. Forced migration and the traumatic consequences of separation\, as well as of the obstacles to the reunification process\, are well documented\, as are the most immediate needs of families\, once reunited. The longer-term lived experience of reunited refugee families\, in contrast\, is poorly understood\, despite recognition that family reunion is not the end of a journey\, but the beginning of another long road for families to be able to settle and build their lives in the UK\, free from persecution. \nWhen the Dust Settles is a participatory\, mixed media research project that addresses this research gap\, by examining the ongoing challenges reunited refugee families face after their first year together in their new home. Created by Dr Maria Abranches (School of International Development\, UEA) and Amy Lythgoe (Together Now)\, and supported by a British Academy Innovation Fellowship. \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
