SUMMARY:You Brought Your Own Light
DESCRIPTION:A powerful exhibition by Manchester based photographer\, Allie Crewe\, whose work is “highly rated\, sincere\, poignant and classical “\, Magnum Photography. There is nothing linear about femininity – or what it means to be a woman – in the 21st century. Sex and gender are not limited to the monolithic paradigm of genetics; they are informed by something intangible\, and it this essence of the female paradox that makes Allie Crewe’s work as relevant as it is important.

SUMMARY:World War I's Hidden Voices
DESCRIPTION:India\, Africa\, the West Indies and recruitment through culture explored in two parallel exhibitions: \nFrom the Shadows of War and Empire \nA documentary exhibition by Southern Voices \nFew know about how European powers brought colonies into World War I\, took resources from these countries and took the war to ‘fronts’ outside Europe.  An exhibition which finally tells this major part of the story from the colonies’ point of view.  We focus on India\, the West Indies\, German and British East Africa\, and Nigeria – the British Colonies. \n  \nTHE POPPY RETAKE (v3) \nA video art installation by Kooj Chuhan \nModern war propaganda began with World War I which obscured its pointlessness and deep colonial connections\, while pretending to be the ‘war to end all wars’.  This artwork explores coercion into war\, involving an African woman working for a war-themed park.  She finds herself caught between colonial narratives\, spirits from the dead and video war games. \n

SUMMARY:Shirley Baker: Airport '87
DESCRIPTION:A poignant look back at at Manchester Airport as seen through the lens of acclaimed photographer Shirley Baker\, thirty years ago\, having spent a day at the airport in 1987 capturing the experiences of passengers using the airport. The exhibition includes photos chosen by the public and Manchester Airport staff.  As well as capturing various areas of the airport\, Baker’s photographs also show how people passed the time before a flight by playing cards and board games – a far cry from smart phones\, tablets and kindles!  The style of passengers is also brought into focus with big hair and plenty of shell suits on show. \nBorn in Salford\, Baker was famed for her street photography of working class inner-city areas. The photos of Manchester Airport were discovered in the archives at Central Library. They explore work created after Shirley Baker was approached by the Documentary Photography Archive (DPA)\, who were seeking to commission photographers to grow their collection of contemporary work. \nIt marks three decades since the photos were taken and visitors will also get to see what the next 30 years at Manchester Airport will look like.The airport’s famous chandeliers that used to hang in Terminal 1 also make an appearance\, along with people smoking indoors and purchasing Cinzano in duty free! \nThe exhibition comes as the airport is embarking on its £1bn investment programme that will transform the passenger experience.  As part of the exhibition a number of old photos have been blended with CGIs of how the new terminal building will look in its place.  Visitors will also be able to find out more about the developments that will see Terminal 2 more than double in size. \nAll the images are held by the Archives+ Centre at Central Library and the full commission can be viewed at www.flickr.com/gp/manchesterarchiveplus/n964Z4 \nThis exhibition is kindly supported by Manchester Airport

SUMMARY:Deities at the Bottom of the Garden
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating exhibition\, artist Richard Bartle explores in minute detail the customs and icons of major world religions and belief systems. Manifested in a series of 12 scale modelled garden sheds\, the work reduces the usually grand architecture of churches and temples into more private spaces of worship. Viewers are invited to make their own minds up about the question of what it is to have faith\, and the differences and similarities between differing belief systems. \nEach sculpture has been extensively researched by Richard through visiting places of worship and talking to people from the communities that use them\, as well as researching religious\, documentary and historical texts. Each shed and its interior has been painstakingly hand crafted\, wherever possible staying true to materials and respecting the sacred and ideological value of the objects and images appropriate to that belief. The work explores the ideas of dedication and obsession\, a global perspective of religion and politics\, and our relationship with physical objects and architecture. \nRichard Bartle is a Sheffield based artist who has exhibited widely in the UK and Europe. He has many works in both private and public collections. He says about his work; ‘I have always sought to observe the fundamental driving forces behind society and its ideas of political\, economic and philosophical progress’. \nFree – please drop in

There will be various spaces and installations telling the story of our findings so far\, including interactive map displays and audio/video clips. Visitors will be invited to add their own voices to the project. \nWe will be tweeting under #MCRVoices \n Free – please drop in

SUMMARY:ArchivesMoved
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is based on a project that brought together young dancers and actors from Manchester and the North West in an exciting exploration of historical Manchester. By using archive photographs\, artefacts and music as far back as the 1800s and merging them with modern photography\, it allows audiences to experience a new outlook on Manchester’s past and present. \nThe process began by gathering the most interesting and thought provoking images in the archive collection. It was important to capture the diversity of Manchester and to recognise its industrial roots. Through the timeline of archives\, what stood out the most was how well images and sounds were able to capture a general sentiment and mood of that period: whether that was the melancholic industrial environment; the strong community settings at Hulme Carnival or the vibrant summer months in Piccadilly Gardens. \nOnce images were collected\, they became a stimulus for the movement and emotion of the dancers. Characters and certain personas formed by imitating the expressions on the people’s faces in the images. Actors listened to sound archives and their responses were filmed. Mood and feelings of certain images were embodied through shape and movement. \nUsing editing software the modern photos were merged with the original archives\, resulting in this exhibition. A map of Manchester in the exhibition shows the forever expanding history of arts in the city. \nArchivesMoved was supported by Archives+ and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund
