This Is Us: Tracing Manchester’s Histories seeks to reshape and redefine how Manchester’s public spaces reflect the city’s rich and diverse histories.
The project aims to uncover and celebrate overlooked stories, reflect on complex legacies, and help create public spaces where more people can see their histories represented and their voices heard.
How can you be involved?
We are inviting people and organisations to share existing stories, audio recordings, photographs and other materials that highlight histories that are missing or untold in Manchester’s public spaces.
If you have a personal story, community memory, archive or collection that you feel deserves a wider platform, we would love to hear from you.
We are particularly interested in stories that explore who has not been represented, whose voices have been overlooked or quietened, and which histories are still waiting to be seen, heard and shared.
