More than 20 of Manchester s leading cultural institutions have joined forces to help bring the city back to life.
by Charlie Spargo
A campaign featuring striking creative from Manchester s Instruct Studio launches today (May 17th) and encourages audiences to return to venues across the city as the country enters the next stage of the roadmap out of lockdown.
The campaign is titled #HereForCultureMCR, and has been produced by a consortium of more than 20 arts organisations in the city to show off everything they have to offer and work towards recovery after a particularly challenging period for the sector.
It encompasses a poster, radio and digital campaign which went live today, featuring creative by Instruct. There s bold and emotive visuals alongside lines of poetry designed to inspire and capture audience s attention.

Nearly 2000 Indigenous artefacts have been repatriated from overseas galleries, museums and universities after a call out for the return of objects significant to Australiaâs cultural heritage.
Those from the single largest collection -1848 objects that were in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem for more than half a century - will be returned to traditional communities by the end of the year.
The items - including ax heads, scrapes and chopping tools thought to be many thousands of years old - are being catalogued. Where clear provenance can be determined, they will in the coming months be returned to Indigenous communities in NSW, Tasmania, Victoria and the Northern Territory.
