Amazing News!
The People's History Museum will open 2020 by unveiling a new exhibition of historical and contemporary banners to complement their programme of activities throughout the year on migration.
Representing very active projects of today are two banners from the Revive Womenâs Group that were made during Journeys Festival International Manchester's events for Refugee Week 2019!
Working with artist Ibukun Baldwin, commissioned by ArtReach in partnership with Revive Manchester, the banners were created during workshops held to support women refugees and those seeking asylum.

People's History Museum in Manchester is free and I really recommend it. about 5 min walk from Deansgate, M3 3ER. It has a shop and a cafe bar and is really family friendly with lots to do in each room for little ones. I wanted to go to this museum regardless, I'm really interested in it as the national museum of democracy, and didn't expect there to be much for Eric -and was really pleasantly surprised. lovely kids area with puzzles, sensory toys, things to do, boxes of things to look at. a kids trail/backpack to take around - he loved the binoculars. an old shop to play in, a jukebox, lots of bits and bobs to touch/play with/pick up and play pretend. it was great that he could play as we went around and looked at the exhibitions in depth. I would definitely go back again. :)
