Together We Move Events Programme

4 July 2019 — 3 November 2019

Together We Move is an on-going programme of responsive events and exhibitions, which celebrates Everything I Have Is Yours by Eileen Simpson and Ben White (Open Music Archive).

Since January 2019, local producer Liz Wewiora, and artist team, Sally Gilford and Ben McDonnell, have been working with over 60s residents from across Greater Manchester to engage with the music, visual culture and social history of the decade 1952–1962. Following a series of creative workshops including screen printing, collage, music and how to develop a ‘visual score’, the participants and artists have developed a collective artwork. This new installation fills the stairway and represents visual scores drawn from tracks including Moon Riverby Danny Williams (HMV) 1961,Oh Carolby Neil Sedaka (RCA) 1959, and Because You’re Mine by Nat ‘King’ Cole (Capitol) 1952.

Venue: Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Peel Park, The Cresent, Salford M3 5WU

*Become a Together We Move Volunteer

Between September – November 2019 we are actively seeking a host of local volunteers to come and support our Together We Move programme. You will play an important and people-facing role to capture audience feedback. This will help us understand and shape the gallery and our partners projects in the future.

We are looking for people from 18 years of age to people in their 80s, who are able to commit to two separate half day sessions (around 2-3 hours each) to volunteer with us. We will provide volunteer and audience data digital training and are keen to pair volunteers together from across different generations.
