Together We Move

Together We Move is an on-going programme of responsive events and exhibitions, which celebrate 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 River by Danny Williams (HMV) 1961, Oh Carol by Neil Sedaka (RCA) 1959, and Because You’re Mine by Nat ‘King’ Cole (Capitol) 1952. From 3 September 2019 an audio piece was added to the installation to animate the space further.

Exhibition Dates: Thursday 4 July – Sunday 3 November 2019 
Opening hours: Tuesday – Friday 9.30am – 4.30pm; Saturday & Sunday 11.30am – 4.00pm
Venue: Blue Stair, Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Salford
