Slide 2: My favourite object from Jason, pictured left, reading Big Flame material: “one of my favourite bits is the conference guide front cover, seeing some of the smoking corners outside of organising spaces it just makes so much sense.” - Jason”.
Slide 3: My favourite object from Ally, pictured right, holding up a fabric tassel in a banner-making workshop. They are surrounded by a Big Flame cartoon of women embracing, entitled ‘solidarity’, and a black star which says ‘snazzy!’. They say: ““my favourite objects are our disposable camera pictures, and the essay ‘Gay Flames’. I really enjoyed reading that and putting my personal touch on it.” - Ally”
Slide 4: You should see the exhibition because… ““the exhibition is relevant and shows how the struggle, and the language around it, has both changed and stayed the same. My favourite object is the ‘40 Excuses Leftist Men Use To Avoid Responsibility For Doing Anything About Sexism’ bulletin!” - Seth”. Seth is pictured on the left, smiling by the seaside.
Slide 5: You should see the exhibition because… ““one of my favourite parts of being in the project was being exposed to Manchester’s leftist history and the efforts that have been made to report on and showcase international struggles - thus showcasing actual solidarity between communities. There’s so much to learn from this presently. - Kongo”. Kongo is pictured on the left, standing outside the library, smiling.
A few of our Little Flames told us why you should come to see the exhibition before it closes its doors forever on Friday 17 April
You can come to see the exhibition between 12pm and 2pm THIS SUNDAY 12 April, and you can join the waitlist for our badge and zine making closing party happening 2-4pm!
