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:Manchester College Students: Responses
DESCRIPTION:Foundation Art and Design Students from The Manchester College have brought the Art School’s ethos of research to the heart of our iconic Wolfson Reading Room. Each student has developed a personal body of work which has initially been inspired by one of the books from Central Library. The boards exhibited are an insight into personal research and subject matter\, produced in traditional messy art school rooms where students become inspired and have tested the possibilities of ideas\, research and practical production. These fresh\, innovative Art School Creatives will continue their practices in: painting\, drawing\, film\, photography\, textile design\, animation and site-specific work; progressing on to degree courses in the city and beyond. This exhibition will coincide with MIF (Manchester International Festival) and continues till 2 September. \nTo see more exciting innovative work and research\, follow the Instagram link: #foundationartanddesigntmc \nIf you would like information about the Foundation Diploma course\, please contact: Fiona Donald fdonald@tmc.ac.uk \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:"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. Image Copyright: Alan Gignoux. \nTo mark the launch of this free exhibition\, you are invited to attend the opening event in Central Library’s Reading Room on Friday 2 June at 6:30pm. Reserve a place for this here on eventbrite \nFree exhibition – just drop in – please consider making a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library. Thank you. \n“You can see me\, but I don’t exist” was made possible by a National Lottery Grant awarded by Arts Council England

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: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.

SUMMARY:Who Built Wythenshawe? The Forgotten Story of Ernest & Shena Simon
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition traces the story of Wythenshawe during the twentieth century. From a humble collection of small villages\, Wythenshawe was developed as a garden city to re-house the tens of thousands of families previously forced to live in Manchester’s inner-city slums in well-built and spacious neighbourhoods amidst green surroundings. Alongside illustrating Wythenshawe’s history\, the exhibition tells the captivating lives of Ernest and Shena Simon who played a critical role in Wythenshawe’s development. The Wythenshawe we see today would not have existed without the great energy and inspiring altruism of the Simons. They paved the way for the creation of Wythenshawe in 1926 by purchasing and donating Wythenshawe Hall and its surrounding parkland for the people of Manchester. Yet their role in pushing for a garden city\, their wider work in improving the social conditions of working people across Manchester and their fascinating personal lives\, are largely forgotten. There is little in the way of memorials to the Simons\, but their legacy runs deep\, as we hope this exhibition will reveal. Drawing on historical research\, documentary photographs\, old maps and original records from the archives\, this exhibition illustrates many notable moments in the history of Wythenshawe as Manchester’s garden city. \nExhibition Launch. Henry Watson Music Library. Monday 15th August 11am.  \nFree – drop in – please consider making a donation if you can either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library

SUMMARY:Documenting Demolition: A Community Evidencing Project of Manchester’s LGBT+ Centre
DESCRIPTION:The LGBT+ Centre (previously known as The Gay Centre) is located on Sidney Street\, off Oxford Road and is the longest continuously running LGBT+ Community Centre in the UK.  ‘Documenting Demolition’ is a photographic exhibition of the Centre’s final months before the groups moved out and the building was demolished to make way for a brand new LGBT+ Centre\, now known as The Proud Place.

SUMMARY:The Darker Side of Pink
DESCRIPTION:A Breast Cancer Awareness Exhibition Tour \nPatient advocacy group METUPUK\, is hosting a pop-up exhibition throughout the venue to highlight the need to improve care and research around secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The exhibition aims to highlight the seriousness of Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) the biggest killer of women under the age of 50 here in the UK – via a powerful display that counteracts other ‘fluffier’\, baby pink-branded campaigns. The campaign ‘The Darker Side of Pink’ is a physical interactive mobile and online experience. The Darker Side of Pink features 31 transparent figures\, to depict the invisibility of the disease – one for each woman who dies every day from Metastatic Breast Cancer. Each figure contains a QR code that plays a video from a real-life woman living with secondary breast cancer\, explaining the struggles and issues they face. Filmed only last year\, some of these brave women unfortunately have died from the disease\, becoming a statistic they spoke about whilst also campaigning for change\, to benefit others. Many of these videos are incredibly emotional\, as befits the seriousness of the topic. \nMETUPUK is a self-funded charity and the only patient advocacy group in the UK focussing on secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. Founder Jo Taylor created the group in 2016 to campaign and promote the issues affecting those diagnosed\, highlighting the red flag signs and symptoms\, access to drugs\, treatments\, and clinical trials. The volunteer-led organisation works to push and promote issues affecting those with a particular focus on tackling the backlog of care for patients as well as awareness of this invisible disease. \nFACT: 31 women die every single day of Metastatic Breast Cancer. \nFree – please drop in
