SUMMARY:Migration Stories North West Exhibition & Preview
DESCRIPTION:A history of migration in and out of North West England told through 100 stories from Roman times to the present day. \nExplore the region’s long history of migration and ways in which it has shaped and continues to shape our social landscape. Browse the stories of individual women\, men and children arriving in and leaving the North West from and to other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world. Find out how their journeys were driven by conflict\, colonialism and trade\, as well as in search of work\, educational opportunities or a better life. \nThis ‘pop-up’ exhibition includes an interactive screen through which to browse the stories\, and is touring across the North West of England. At this showing in Manchester Central Library there will also be a display by pupils and staff from The Derby High School in Bury about the stories which they researched and produced for the Greater Manchester section of the project. \nThe Migration Stories Exhibition’s showing in Manchester is presented by Crossing Footprints in partnership with Manchester Histories. Special thanks for support from Manchester Central Library\, from our Manchester team of volunteer researchers\, and from Fair Futures CIC who delivered the school workshops in Bury.

There will be a brief introduction to the project at 4.45pm and again at 6pm. Light refreshments will be provided. \nAbout the project The Migration Stories North West project is a partnership of five organisations across the North West who have worked over a period of three years with local adults and young people\, including those with experience of migration or seeking refuge.

They are now available to explore on an interactive online map\, along with background information\, educational resources and introductory films about the project. More information here. The organisations are Global Link based in Lancaster\, Crossing Footprints covering the Greater Manchester region\, Liverpool World Centre\, Cumbria Development Education Centre and Cheshire Global Learning.

SUMMARY:Knock Out Blow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of art and discussion dedicated to the life and legacy of Len Johnson— Britain’s uncrowned boxing champion\, dedicated local activist\, and revered Manchester legend. The event will feature live music\, poetry\, an interactive play\, archive photos of Len\, and an exhibition\, followed by a thought-provoking discussion on Johnson’s life and legacy. \nFeatured Event: A Performance by Odd Arts:\n“Knock Out Blow\,” a play by Odd Arts\, tours schools and community groups across the Northwest. Odd Arts uses this piece of theatre to challenge racial discrimination\, celebrate positive role models\, and celebrate our collective history. This play on Len Johnson’s life has already reached approximately 5\,000 young people\, leaving a lasting impact on the next generation. \nA Campaign for Justice: Erecting a Statue in Honor of Len Johnson\nIn addition to celebrating Len Johnson’s life\, we are spearheading a campaign to erect a statue in his honor in Manchester City Centre. Despite being denied the right to compete for the British title due to a racist policy that required boxers to be born to two white parents\, Johnson’s legacy as a fighter for racial equality continued outside of the boxing ring. \nThe campaign is supported by the Mayor of Greater Manchester\, Andy Burnham\, and current and former boxing champions such as Anthony Joshua\, Ricky Hatton\, Carl Frampton\, Ant Crolla\, Tony Bellew\, Natasha Jonas\, and Amir Khan. \nThe event will also feature a panel discussion with campaign leaders\, offering a unique opportunity for a Q&A session with the artist Taslim Martin\, who has been commissioned to create the statue of Len Johnson. Local artist Griot Gabriel will provide live poetry\, whilst local artists and Rootz will end the night with some live music. \nManchester is a city that loves its sporting heroes\, and Len Johnson is a true unsung hero whose achievements both inside and outside the ring continue to inspire. Our goal is to make Len Johnson a household name in Manchester and eventually across the UK. \nFree – book tickets here
