Location: 70 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 5NH
Let’s Talk About Sex: 30 years of community activism in Greater Manchester presents: United in Anger: A History of ACT UP
A special screening of United in Anger: A History of ACT UP directed by Jim Hubbard and Sarah Schulman, and introduced by former ACT UP activist and University of Manchester lecturer Dr Monica Pearl.
2017 is a milestone year for the history of sexual health awareness, marking 30 years of local organising and activism in Greater Manchester sparked by the AIDS crisis.
With funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the LGBT Foundation’s Let's Talk About Sex project seeks to document these campaigns by recording the personal testimonies of those involved and affected. The project will also result in an exhibit, showcasing the rich histories of activism and campaigning around safer sex and sexual health in Greater Manchester.
In collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University’s RAH! programme.
Time: 6.00pm – 8.00pm
The event is free, but booking is highly advised. Tickets available on Eventbrite.
