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

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: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: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:"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.

SUMMARY:The Year of Polish-British Cooperation on Breaking the Enigma Code
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the Polish-British cooperation in breaking the Enigma code\, marking the 80th anniversary of Polish codebreakers coming to the UK.  The Enigma code was a nightmare for secret services all over the world.  It was an unbreakable code granting Germany a tremendous military advantage. ‘Enigma’ means puzzle or secret in Greek. This is how German engineer Arthur Scherbius named the portable electromechanical encrypting machine he constructed. But one Polish mathematician broke the unbreakable code and a new era in the history of cryptology had begun. \n\n\nIf you would like to attend the launch of this exhibition\, with Special Guest Sir Dermot Turing\, on Thursday 18 May\, 5.30 – 7.45pm\, please email wilnomanchester@gmail.com \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:British Ugandan Asians at 50 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Ugandan Expulsion\, highlighting the experience of British Ugandan Asians and the many volunteers who helped them.\nIn August 1972\, Ugandan President Idi Amin ordered the country’s Indian and Pakistani communities to leave within 90 days. Many of the displaced were British citizens and\, as a result\, around 28\,000 people emigrated to the UK\, where the community has gone to make a disproportionate impact on the economic and social life of Britain. \nTo mark the 50th anniversary\, British Ugandan Asians at 50 (BUA@50) has recorded oral histories to capture the recollections of those who were residents of resettlement camps\, or who volunteered to help with the reception of the expellees during the crucial early months after their arrival. The volunteers formed part of an extraordinary response involving 63 voluntary organisations that\, at its peak\, staffed sixteen reception and resettlement camps across the UK. \nThis touring exhibition retells the story through period photographs\, oral history footage\, press clippings and memorabilia relating to the Expulsion and resettlement. It will include excerpts from the interviews. \nBritish Ugandan Asians at 50 (BUA50.ORG) – is a programme of the India Overseas Trust with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It honours not only a largely unknown part of the history of British volunteering heritage\, but an extraordinary historical episode that helped shape modern Britain’s diversity. \nFree – drop in- please make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in the venue\, or online

SUMMARY:International Mother Language Day 2023 – Manchester City of Literature Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Throughout February and March\, we are delighted to be working with Manchester City of Literature who have an exhibition available to celebrate International Mother Language Day\, showcasing our international connection to the other UNESCO Cities of Literature and celebrating Manchester’s work at home. Manchester Histories Hub \nThe exhibition is free and is the second exhibition to be situated in the Manchester Histories Hub on the Lower Ground Floor of Central Library. Drop in any time during February and March to see these amazing exhibits… \nAL-USRA WAL-SUFRA: FAMILY AND FEASTS\nThere is an exciting exhibition from Ali Al-Jamri\, Manchester Multilingual City Poet\, who worked with artist Rosie Stanley to create a dollhouse to inspire writing for last summer’s Liverpool Arab Arts Festival.

SUMMARY:Legacy of ’67-A voice for Queer Stories
DESCRIPTION:In 1967 the law in England and Wales changed to partially decriminalise homosexual acts between men in private. This was followed by further legislation relating to the age of consent\, the role of LGBTQ+ people in the armed forces\, improved partnership\, inheritance\, and adoption rights\, that have positively affected the lives of LGBTQ+ people. However\, at the same time we’ve also seen the rise and fall of Section 28\, which outlawed the ‘promotion of homosexuality’ by local authorities and we’re currently seeing the demonisation of trans people and a profound backlash against liberalisation. \nFor the last twelve months IAP:MCR has been capturing the stories of people who have grown up between the ‘60s and the ‘80s to find out how these changes have affected them. This testimony will soon be deposited with Archives+ at Central Library. The IAP:MCR team has also conducted original research of contemporaneous source material to explore the changing attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people in general society. \nA display of this original archive material\, ranging from Central Library’s own copy of the Wolfenden Report\, Campaign for Homosexual Equality Manchester branch newsletters and editions of the Mancunian Gay magazine. IAP:MCR has commissioned visual artist Jez Dolan to respond to this project and he has produced a series of eight original works that will soon be on display in the Reading Room alongside the archives. This project has been made possible with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. \nJez Dolan is an artist living and working in Manchester (UK). His practice underlines the intersections between queerness\, sexuality\, identity\, and memory. He works across multiple platforms including drawing\, performance\, printmaking and most recently painting. https://www.jezdolan.com. Jez’s work is held in a number of public and private collection internationally including: the British Museum\, Bury Art Museum\, the (UK) Government Art Collection\, the Leslie Lohman Museum NYC\, the Schwules* Museum Berlin\, the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool and others. \nThis exhibition is free\, but 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:The Streets of Our City: Manchester Town Hall Photographers' Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Town Hall Photographers’ Collection is a large photographic collection held in Archives+ Central Library\, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007. The collection consists of tens of thousands of images\, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly\, Manchester City Council. The photographs were taken by staff photographers\, who were tasked to document the work of the Corporation/Council departments and in doing so\, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history\, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape. The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives\, to slides\, prints\, CDs and even a couple of cine films. What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people. A team of dedicated staff\, volunteers and students from Bridge College\, Loreto College\, Manchester College and Pure Innovations are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection. This exhibition represents the result of their work to date. \nDo you recognise any of the streets or buildings? Would you like to share a memory you have of visiting somewhere in one of the images? We have limited information about these images and welcome your input to complete the information about each image.  When visiting the exhibition\, please use the book displayed at the beginning of the exhibition to record your memories and knowledge. \nWe are building a new images website. Could you take five minutes to tell us what our local image collection means to you and what features would you like to see on the new site? https://smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ERELJ7/ \nThis exhibition is free\, but 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
