SUMMARY:Town Hall Artisans\, Trades and Treasures Display
DESCRIPTION:Find out more about what’s happening to The Town Hall behind all that scaffolding and building wrap. \n\n\nThis display celebrates progress on our Town Hall’s restoration\, showing some of the objects and discoveries uncovered so far\, with a focus on some of the trades that are bringing twenty-first century conservation skills to the Victorian objects on display. \n\n\nSo\, you can see a freshly restored oil painting of Manchester’s radical Mayor Abel Heywood\, and some of the conservation materials used to repair the canvas and removed built-up dust and particulates. \n\n\nMosaic tesserae originally laid by Venetian craftsmen in the 1870s are on display with some of the tools of the trade being used by today’s artisans to renew them. \n\n\nBeautiful stained and clear glass from the Town Hall’s ornate windows is also on show\, as are bells and ropes and other gear from the building’s clock tower. \n\n\nYou’ll find these interesting displays on the first floor\, to the left of the entrance to the Wolfson Reading Room until Saturday 29 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:An Evening with Miranda July
DESCRIPTION:Due to unexpected ill health\, Miranda July has been forced to cancel her trip to the UK. This means her MLF event on Tuesday 11 June 2024 has been cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience. \nManchester Literature Festival\, in partnership with Library Live\, presents Miranda July in conversation. We are thrilled to be joined by the writer\, film maker and artist to celebrate her brilliant new novel All Fours. A semi-famous artist declares her intention to drive from Los Angeles to NYC. Instead\, she checks into a motel thirty minutes from the home she shares with her husband and child and begins a reinvention which has a profound impact on her life. In Miranda’s unique\, funny and tender voice\, All Fours explores the societal boundaries placed on middle-aged women through desire\, sex\, perimenopause and motherhood\, questioning what freedom might look like within those constraints. This is a conversation with a witty and original artist which is not to be missed. \n“A giddy\, bold\, mind-blowing tour de force by one of our most important literary writers. Funny\, honest\, rich with the energy of the mind\, All Fours will jump-start your relation to language and cause you to think anew about the nature of desire.” – George Saunders \nMiranda is the author of four books including the award-winning short story collection No One Belongs Here More Than You and The First Bad Man. She has written and directed three feature films\, while also starring in the first two. The latest is Kajillionaire. The second\, Me and You and Everyone We Know\, won the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and a Special Jury Prize at Sundance. \nHosted by writer Kate Feld.
