SUMMARY:China in Drag: Travels with a Cross-Dresser
DESCRIPTION:Michael Bristow\, BBC World Service’s Asia and Pacific editor will talk about his eight-year stay in Beijing and why he decided to write about the country’s modern history. To assist him he asked for the help of his language teacher\, who was born just two years after the communist party came to power in 1949. The changing fortunes of his life have mirrored the ups and downs of his country\, which has moved from communist poverty to capitalist wealth in just a single generation. It came as a surprise though\, to learn that the teacher was also a cross-dresser. Michael gradually realised that the teacher’s story is the story of modern China. \nThe talk is free to attend and everyone is welcome!

Midnight Chicken is Ella’s debut and is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again: what it means to share a meal\, the simple pleasure in cooking for yourself and how\, sometimes\, food can help you through even the darkest moments in life. \nBee Wilson is a food writer\, historian and school food campaigner.

But Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan) wants Bianca\, so he uses sullen senior Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to attempt to win Kat’s heart. Will Patrick be able to win Kat over and will Cameron be able to have Bianca? This quintessential teen movie paved the way for a barrage of copy cat films that followed it. \nDoors: 5.30pm

SUMMARY:Saturday Spectacular - Game Changers Project
DESCRIPTION:For our latest Saturday Spectacular family event we welcome the Game Changers project which has taken place in all 10 Greater Manchester local authorities over the past few months. There will be lots to see and lots to do\, including crafts with a Women’s Suffrage theme. \nYoung people across all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester will come together to recreate the Women’s Bazaar of 1912\, as part of a project to empower them to become campaigners of the future. \nThe Game Changers project\, which has been made possible with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund\, is exploring the Suffragists movement – helping the youngsters learn about the peaceful methods they used to campaign – unlike the more militant and more famous Suffragettes. \nThe young people have created artwork as a tribute to the suffragists including banners\, sashes and posters that will be on display at the library\, along with stalls and showcasing their talents in a performance and mock debate – to recreate the historical event. \nFrances Nutt\, Artistic Director at Tandem Theatre\, based in Salford\, who is running the Game Changer project\, said: “The high-profile role of Emmeline Pankhurst and the more militant activities of the Suffragettes can sometimes overshadow others who campaigned for women’s suffrage. \n“We wanted to highlight the lesser known Suffragists\, who used law abiding methods to campaign\, to be an inspiration to young women today\, as campaigning for women’s rights is still as relevant. \n“The young people have enjoyed attending art workshops and skills workshops to help them become effective campaigners and leaders of the future by building self-esteem\, social skills\, confidence and raising aspirations and are looking forward to the taking part the event at Central Library.” \nFor more information on the project go to https://tandemtheatre.com/game-changers/ \nSuitable for families \nFree – just 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
