 change

DESCRIPTION:This event is the launch of an exhibition of artwork and poet
 ry co-curated by older women living on the Aquarius Estate in Hulme. The
  event will include a talk by community members explaining their art wor
 k\, a panel discussion by research team explaining the themes and learni
 ng from project\, Q&A and some time to network\, along with refreshments
  and snacks.\n\nThe exhibition depicts the community’s contradictory exp
 eriences of feeling both visible and invisible living next to expanding 
 universities and gentrification from the city centre. Led by local artis
 t\, author and playwright Anthea Cribbin\, the artwork traverses the ric
 h lives of the women and their histories and sentiments that are tied to
  the neighbourhood. The exhibition is a chance to raise awareness of the
  distinct pressures felt by those living on the Aquarius Estate – explor
 ing themes of community\, connection\, vulnerability and change – from t
 he perspectives of the older women themselves\, in order to amplify thei
 r voices and celebrate the community.\n\nThe exhibition has emerged as p
 art of a wider co-creation project led by community researcher and activ
 ist Tina Cribbin and academic researcher Niamh Kavanagh (both from the U
 niversity of Manchester) that has been exploring how more equitable rela
 tionships can be sustained between the university and the neighbouring H
 ulme community.\n\nThis event will also reflect on how working with the 
 art group over time has offered novel insight into methodological and et
 hical approaches for the ‘doing’ of research in communities like Hulme t
 hat face different precarities and challenges\, emphasising slow and gen
 tle ways of working together with creative approaches that nurture patie
 nce and trust.\n\nPart of the ERSC Festival of Social Sciences: https://
