Join us for a creative day featuring a photography exhibition and free hands-on activities, to collectively imagine a breathable Manchester!
Greater Manchester is the worst place in the UK for toxic air, linked to 1200 early deaths each year, and with the highest rates of child asthma hospital admissions. We wouldn’t let our children drink dirty water, so why do we allow them to breathe dirty air?
Collaborating with local scientists, artists, and community groups, Our Manchester, Our Air is an exciting community day exploring how to collectively imagine and create a breathable city. For the first time, Asthma + Lung UK will be bringing to Manchester the exhibition ‘This is Life + Breath’ by award-winning photographer Chris O’Donovan. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see 10 striking portraits of those who are most affected by toxic air, featuring two local story-tellers, Dave and Maksim.
Enjoy a day of free hands-on activities and discussions, exploring how toxic air impacts our health. Hear from life-long campaigner Maksim, engage experts on how to tackle air pollution, and get stuck in hands-on activities to create clean air for all!
This event is free, family-friendly and open to all.
Highlights:
- Free community lunch from 12pm
- Interactive discussion featuring clean air experts, campaigners and local leaders
- Hands-on activities from Ardwick Climate Action, Manchester University,
- Creative arts visualising clean air Manchester with Mum’s for Lungs
