SUMMARY:The Door Opened: 1980s China
DESCRIPTION:One can argue that nostalgia is the strongest emotion\, a pure mixture of wistfulness and melancholy. Adrian Bradshaw\, an English photographer\, brings that sense of yearning into full focus in this exhibition presented by the Confucius Institute at The University of Manchester. Featuring a blend of candid and posed photographs which explore China in the 1980’s; from opulent fashion extravaganzas to sentimental family excursions\, Bradshaw captures the fleeting beauty and simplicity of everyday life. \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:Breaking the News Exhibition and Archive Handling Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The news has the power to make or break elections\, to change the course of history or to alter our perspective on the city and country we live in. We expect the news to speak truth to power\, but can it ever really be objective? Is your news the same as everyone else’s? How do you use the news to navigate the world around you? \nCentral Library will be hosting a series of pop-up handling sessions tied in with the new Breaking the News Exhibition at the British Library.The sessions will be looking at how major local\, regional and international events have been reported using the original newspapers and magazines from the time. Come and see how the major events of the last 200 years were reported. \nHow did local and national newspapers reflect the two World Wars and the struggle for Women’s Rights. \nHow did the Manchester Evening News report significant local events from the Munich Air Crash to the Manchester Blitz. \nHow does a newspaper’s own perspective (Socialist Worker\, Gay Times\, Private Eye affect the way it reports on the world). \nThe display runs from February 24th until August 21th 2022 and alongside the display panels we will be running regular weekly handling sessions. Dates for the handling sessions will be announced very soon. \nBreaking the News: The Launch Debate will be live streamed from Leeds Central Library this Thursday 24th February at 7pm. You can register for this FREE event here. \nThe major new Breaking the News Exhibition will be at the British Library from 22 April to 21 August 2022. \n#BreakingTheNews

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

SUMMARY:'Musick' in Manchester 1744/45
DESCRIPTION:Musick in Manchester 1744/45 recreates the first ever public concert series known to have been given in Manchester\, prefiguring the remarkable musical tradition that accompanied Manchester’s development into one of Europe’s leading industrial cities. Remarkable\, and until now underrepresented\, the series includes sixteen concert programmes\, which survive in a literary transcript by John Harland written a century later in 1844. Through research by Dr Pauline Nobes\, many works can be identified directly\, but we also utilise Manchester’s archives\, most notably the extraordinary collection of Cardinal Ottoboni\, housed at Manchester’s Henry Watson Library\, bringing to light a significant amount of neglected music. Join us for the third concert in our series\, which recreates the original concert first performed on 9th July 1745. \nPauline Nobes\, is recognised as one of Europe’s foremost Baroque vioiniists and specialists in historical performance practice. For many years she worked with period instrument ensembles such as The English Baroque Soloists\, The English Concert and Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique playing in the most prestigious concert halls and festivals throughout Europe\, the USA and Japan participating in over 100 CD productions.  For many years Pauline was concertmaster for The Academy of Ancient Music\, Das Neue Orchester and Musica Antiqua Köln.  Now guest leading in European Opera theaters\, she also continues her commitment to teaching\, at home and abroad and is Artistic Director and leader for Manchester Baroque. \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. The photos record the various user groups\, staff and volunteers\, as well as some of the building’s quirky details. These will be displayed alongside some original ‘love letters’ written to the old Centre from its ‘lovers’. \nThe project is part of a longer-term design and research project into Manchester’s LGBT+ Centre building undertaken by Emily Crompton\, an architect and academic at Manchester School of Architecture. The project was created in partnership with The Proud Trust\, the charity which manage the Centre\, and architectural photographer Sally-Ann Norman. \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 \n
