SUMMARY:Libertalia
DESCRIPTION:On the anniversary of Peterloo\, we want to transport you to the world of ‘Libertalia’ a place where all are free and equal\, a ‘way of being’ the people of Peterloo wanted so much for Manchester. \n‘Libertalia’ was a city founded by Madagascan pirates in the 17th century. Here the pirates acted as “vigilant guardians of the people’s rights and liberties” against wage labour and capitalism. 100 years later the people of Peterloo became the just same guardians for Manchester\, their actions heralding a new era towards social justice. \nThis exhibition will see Manchester as the new ‘Libertalia’. Weaving tales of ‘liberty’ guardians and launching a new manifesto to help set ourselves free. \nLed by an international collective of artists\, educators and academics from three continents formed in 2017 to protest the gender gap. Coordinated by Isabel-Alexis productions and Huddersfield University. With the support of Canadian Connections. \nPhoto: Libertalia Pirate House 2 by Isabel Lagos \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Women of Aktion
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition sharing the story of the German Revolution 1918 and reclaiming the voices of the female revolutionaries who have\, until now\, been hidden from the official narrative. In November 1918\, Germany erupted with a revolution which led to the establishment of the first democracy on German soil\, the end of oppressive censorship\, and the end of the war. \nAll across Germany\, people took to the streets demanding peace\, bread and a new political system\, and among them were many women. This exhibition uncovers the hidden voices of the female revolutionaries and shares their eyewitness accounts. What kind of a world did they want and how did they seek to achieve it? Remembering women’s anti-war protest and revolutionary roles are important for activism today to give women back their radical history and remind us that political gains have never been wrested from the powerful and privileged without vocal\, organised pressure and collective action\, and that nothing has been won or defended without persistence\, often over many decades. \nFree- please drop in

SUMMARY:Whose Knowledge Matters
DESCRIPTION:Whose knowledge matters when we represent the city? Who decides what land to protect or destroy\, whose heritage to celebrate\, whose stories to tell and who gets ‘seen’ in the visual and spatial record of the city? This exhibition presents a series of counter-maps to explore different histories and residents’ knowledge from across Greater Manchester. Maps are only one way of seeing the city\, just as statues and plaques represent a mere fraction of our history and heritage in our diverse and divergent urban spaces. Counter-maps trouble and disrupt formal representations of the city which map physical locations but blank residents’ memories\, hopes and ideas. \nThis exhibition will present different kinds of maps to show what matters to residents of Greater Manchester\, produced as part of a collaborative research process with local groups. We aim to provoke reflection on whose knowledge matters in the context of a vast and rapidly changing urban landscape. \nYou can take part by interacting with the exhibition to tell us what histories\, heritage\, protests and people matter to you and how these can be better valued\, or coming to one of our events #KnowledgeMattersGM \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Made in Manchester Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Visit our art installation which was commissioned to celebrate the multilingual poem ‘Made in Manchester’.  Local artist\, Emma Martin worked with nine schools to create this artwork\, with around 200 pupils creating colourful portraits of classmates onto the multiple-language verses of the Made in Manchester poem.  These portraits were cut and reformed into a finished art piece. \nLocal poet\, Zahid Hussain created his original Made in Manchester poem in English.  This was used as inspiration for a community project run by Read Manchester\, inviting local residents and school children to write some lines in response in both English and a second language/mother tongue.  From the hundreds of entries received\, sixty-three languages were selected. These entries were interwoven to create a multilingual Made in Manchester poem which will be revealed to the public on 11 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Sixteen
DESCRIPTION:What’s it like to be sixteen years old now? In this exhibition\, leading contemporary photographers join forces to present multimedia project\, Sixteen\, exploring the dreams\, hopes and fears of sixteen-year olds across the UK. Photographer Craig Easton conceived this ambitious project following his engagement with sixteen-year olds at the time of the Scottish Referendum. It was the first\, and as yet only\, time that these young people were given the vote in the UK. Building on the success of that work he invited 16 of the UK’s foremost documentary portrait photographers to collaborate with young people across the country to make a visual vox pop on what it means to be sixteen now. \nFree – please drop in \nSupported by a National Lottery grant from Arts Council England

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.
