Part of our Creative Activists 2023-24 project.
Join our Creative Activists and help us programme a museum open day for Holocaust Memorial Day 2024. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, work with professional artists and develop creative skills.
During this session we will be joined by Tommy Williams, Neighbourhood Community Development Officer in Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall. Tommy will drop by to tell us about his role in the North Neighbourhood Team and give us an insight into the diversity in our local community. We will also discuss current social issues and look at how we might engage with them in our creative practice. This session, we will also be joined by Manchester Jewish Museum’s curator, Alex Cropper. Alex will share Holocaust stories from our collection, prompting discussion and helping to shape the focus of next year’s events.
No artistic experience necessary. Just bring yourself and an open mind!
