Alexandra Arts have been working with Photographer Zuza Grubecka throughout the autumn programming Pankhurst in the Park and we are excited that her signed photo book will be available at our Manchester Art Gallery event. But also in our webshop.

Zuza'a photo of Rodin remake at Withworth Art Gallery was recently featured on Instagram's own blog - http://blog.instagram.com/post/112133477802/150226-zuza-g

The evening also includes a showcase and sale of artworks from this years 's International Artist in Residency Go! Push Pops and their final performance Holy Creatrixxx. We have limited edition screen prints of Katarzyna Jablonska's portrait of Emmeline Pankhurst, and signed photo books by Pablo Melchor and Zuza Grubecka . As well as original mono print by Naomi Kashiwagi 

Pankhurst in the Park is part of the fabulous Wonder Woman festival 2015.

Pankhurst in the Gallery

As part of the Wonder Woman* festival 2015, we are pleased to announce that on Thursday 26th March 2015 Alexandra Arts will be ‘taking over’ Thursday Lates at Manchester Art Gallery to present Pankhurst in the Gallery, a free event for all.

Our Holy Creatrixxx infused Pankhurst in the Gallery will celebrate the life and work of Emmeline Pankhurst. Inspired by Manchester Art Gallery’s fashion collections, the event will explore the Suffragette movement in terms of fashion activism and empowerment.

People will be invited to dress up – take inspiration from the Suffragette colours of green, purple and white or even the gallery’s collections. Or simply rock up as you are and join in on the adornment making station. The evening includes a showcase and sale of artworks from this years Pankhurst in the Park's International Artist in Residency Go! Push Pops and their final performance Holy Creatrixxx. We have limited edition screen prints of Katarzyna Jablonska's portrait of Emmeline Pankhurst, and signed photo books by Pablo Melchor and Zuza Grubecka . This will be all topped of with a performance from Naomi Kashiwagi and a screening of our video artist portrait of Go! Push Pops. Expect funky tunes and slashes of neon.

Pankhurst in the Gallery will take place from 6.00pm – 8.00pm, Manchester Art Gallery.
