In Translation: Women, Migration and Britishness

Manchester Art Gallery has worked with the Sunshine and Europia women’s groups at Wai Yin Chinese Women Society in Manchester, the Cumbria Multicultural Women’s Network, and artists’ collective UHC, to co-curate a display inspired by our collection of Empire Marketing Board posters.

These enormous, beautiful but now controversial images are a rare example of 20th century peacetime government propaganda. Join Dr. Melanie Horton of Manchester Metropolitan University and some of the women who have created their own responses to the posters for a talk about the history and significance of this part of Manchester Art Gallery’s collection.

The exhibition runs from 25 February 2012 until February 2013.
