People who weave the project together

The Weavers

Learn how the Weavers are co-creating Mancunianity Flows through different forms of knowledge, participation and choice.

Why “Weavers”?

The name recognises people who bring different threads together: places, work, journeys, music, family histories, observations and questions. The project is being developed with a group of up to ten older local people.

Co-creators, not a focus group

The Weavers can shape the route, challenge historical framing, choose material, test access, welcome audiences or work behind the scenes. No one is required to disclose personal history, speak publicly, perform, be photographed or be recorded.

Choice

People decide how, when and whether to contribute.

Different roles

Speaking, listening, writing, research, mapping, music, access testing and practical support all have value.

Public permission

Names, portraits, biographies, quotations and recordings will appear only when the relevant public use has been agreed.
