Art Direct to the PEOPLE.
At Liberation Street, we intentionally take the art, story, and message directly to people beyond the traditional gallery or commercial model.
This approach allows us to create more personal, open, and meaningful experiences. Here are some of the reasons and principles behind this decision.
Powerful Messages About Women.
At our Network Launch a panel of creators and guests will engage the audience in conversations and discussions on Liberation Street, its concept and themes around women’s visibility.
​
Guests will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the stories, the research and perspectives of the characters during the event, while reflecting on their own experiences.
Highlights include:
​
-
Storytelling reflecting a century of women’s experiences
-
Characters showing cultural diversity and shared identity
-
Authentic visual references to Manchester’s history
-
Conversations on women’s perspectives and equality
-
A celebration of women’s lasting influence on the city
Collaboration and Shared Values.
Audience participation is key to generating a community exchange of ideas, information, and new perspectives. We will invite selected women, businesses, and creatives who share the values of equality, creativity, and progress.
Guests will be encouraged to collaborate through interactive features such as the Liberation Street Wall and a live video wall, offering space to share ideas, stories, and experiences. The launch will connect art, writing, and technology to inspire dialogue, partnership, and positive social impact.
Highlights include:
​
-
Liberation Street Wall to write your thoughts on
-
Live video wall capturing voices and ideas
-
Collaboration between art, business, and technology
-
Opportunities to collab before, during, & after the event
-
A women-led team driving the project forward
