Let’s Discuss: Claiming Space Community groups and individuals work tirelessly to campaign for urban nature and its habitats across Greater Manchester. Ironically, we are campaigning for green spaces that provide us a sense of calm, tranquillity and escapism from the stresses and strains of urban life, but the challenges we experience can also negatively affect our health and wellbeing. If claiming space appears more stressful than rewarding, how do we motivate others to care? Perhaps we need a new perspective on the matter. Can we look to nature for inspiration? Might there be lessons learned we’ve not yet shared about how we claim space alongside nature? To aid conversation, items from the museum’s collection will be made available.

Spaces are limited so please RSVP rebecca.taylor-4@manchester.ac.uk

This event is part of Who Cares? A growing collection of stories about people caring for nature across Greater Manchester. A Heritage Futures Studio Residency at Manchester Museum 29th April - 31st July 2019 In its first iteration, the Heritage Futures Studio Residency in Manchester Museum welcomes a growing collection of stories and programme of events. Curated by The University of Manchester's Institute of Cultural Practices postgraduate students together with researchers from the Green Infrastructure and Health and Wellbeing Influences on an Ageing Population (GHIA) project, we have asked ourselves; who cares for the nature across Greater Manchester and why does it matter that we continue to do so? www.ghia.org.uk www.whocares.uk
