Exhibition
Running from Monday 6th – Wednesday 15th July 2009 in MMU's Link Gallery, the project exhibition will showcase the writing skills and artistic talents of Manchester Academy students.
Monday 6th July is a private view, in which Manchester Academy students, their families, carers and friends as well as staff from both institutions will meet and celebrate the success of the project.
The Link Gallery is situated in the Chatham Walkway, Chatham Building, Manchester Metropolitan University, All Saints Campus, central Manchester.
It can be reached via the Holden Gallery, Grosvenor Building, Cavendish Street, off Oxford Road Manchester.
Exit the Holden Gallery through the doors at the far right to enter the Link Gallery.
Alternatively, disabled access can be obtained through the Chatham Building at the entrance on the corner of Ormond Street/Boundary Street West.
Take the lift to the first floor, which brings you out into the Interactive Arts Foyer and Link Gallery. "All Roads Lead to Moss Side," the short piece produced by Blue Robot Films, evoking the excitement of the project while tracing
its evolution, will be screened in the Holden Gallery screening room throughout the exhibition.

They give a strong sense of the incredible journeys many students have taken to Moss Side, of the troubles many have overcome and of the incredible energy, intelligence and creativity of these amazing young people. Full versions of many of these stories will be published in MMU’s next All Write! Anthology.
The professional poets who worked with Manchester Academy students were enormously impressed by their creativity, their openness and insight. Click here for a few examples of Academy students’ poetic work, all of which will be published in MMU’s next All Write! Anthology.
