Wednesday @ 1: The Mosses that Make Manchester
For this Wednesday @ 1, dive into some of the surprising stories that connect Manchester and one fascinating group of miniature plants: mosses.
Plants and humans live and migrate together: our lives are entangled, especially in cities.
Manchester's connections with mosses go back to our boggy beginnings and the moors that surround us today. Discover how this smallest of plants has impacted our city with experts from MossWorlds, interdisciplinary project based at the University of Manchester, which investigates the historical, contemporary and future importance of mosses in the Greater Manchester area.
While you're here, you can also see the Mossworlds exhibition that brings together artworks, poetry and music all inspired by moss.
Please note:
- Please meet at The Castlefield Viaduct event space.
- There are no food or drinks vendors on site so any you may need you will need to bring with you. The event will take place inside.
- Castlefield Viaduct is fully accessible by lifts at Deansgate Metrolink, ramp access to the event space and with accessible toilets. There is a hearing loop in use on site.
