SUMMARY:Vivienne Westwood - Unseen Photography Exhibition by Paul Wolfgang Webster
DESCRIPTION:“My experience of working with Vivienne Westwood remains a rare and significant chapter in my photographic journey. It revealed a powerful connection between fashion\, culture\, inclusivity and protest. It also showed me how someone from the world of fashion could step outside that world and stand shoulder to shoulder with people fighting for something they believed in.” \n\nThese unseen photographs by Paul Wolfgang Webster are more than a record of Vivienne Westwood at Preston. They are a record of connection — between an individual and a community\, between fashion and protest\, and between a photographer and the people he is there to document. \nFree – just drop in. Prints and postcards available at the library shop. \nPlease consider making a donation if you can here or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library.

SUMMARY:Tony Wilson - The Man Who Put Manchester On The World Stage
DESCRIPTION:Photo exhibition curated by Paul Wolfgang Webster: \nIn 1996\, I had the opportunity to photograph Tony Wilson — the man many called Mr Manchester. Hacienda FAC51 impresario\, television presenter\, record label owner and one of the most influential cultural figures to emerge from the North of England. \nThirty years later\, I find myself looking back through these photographs with a different understanding of what I witnessed. Tony Wilson wasn’t simply promoting music. He was creating a vision of what Manchester could become. Through The Hacienda\, Factory Records\, television and his relentless belief in the city\, he helped create a cultural movement that reached far beyond Manchester and put the city on a global stage\, he gave a generation of people something to believe in. \nHe showed that you didn’t have to accept the world as it was. You could question it\, challenge it and\, perhaps most importantly\, create something different. Tony Wilson started a wave that swept Art\, Music\, Culture and Diversity across the globe. \nFree – just drop in. Prints and postcards available in the library shop. \nPlease consider making a donation if you can here or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library.
