A history of migration in and out of North West England told through 100 stories from Roman times to the present day – the Migration Stories North West Exhibition. PREVIEW AND LAUNCH: 4pm – 7pm, Wednesday 2nd October 2024, with speakers from the project and light refreshments.
Exhibition on show Thursday 3rd October to Friday 8th November 2024; at Manchester Histories Hub, lower ground floor, Manchester Central Library, St Peter’s Square, Manchester M2 5PD.
Explore the region’s long history of migration and ways in which it has shaped and continues to shape our social landscape. Browse the stories of individual women, men and children arriving in and leaving the North West from and to other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world. Find out how their journeys were driven by conflict, colonialism and trade, as well as in search of work, educational opportunities or a better life.
Join us for an informal opportunity to hear about the Migration Stories North West project and to chat with people who were involved in the research. People from Crossing Footprints, Global Link and Fair Futures, who were involved in developing, organising and delivering the project, will also be on hand to discuss any aspects of the work and the contexts in which it was produced. Drop in any time between 4pm and 7pm, there will be a brief introduction to the project at 4.45pm and again at 6pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
This is a small ‘pop-up’ exhibition including an interactive screen through which to browse the stories, and is touring across the North West of England. The Migration Stories Exhibition’s showing in Manchester is presented by Crossing Footprints in partnership with Manchester Histories. Special thanks for support from Manchester Central Library, from our Manchester team of volunteer researchers, and from Fair Futures CIC and their group of student researchers from The Derby High School in Bury.
