What is in Manchester's DNA? What are the 'building blocks' of the city? How has the city developed and evolved? What is the 'family history' of Manchester? 'Manchester's DNA' is an ambitious city-wide festival investigating and celebrating history, community, migration, place and identity. Through a seven-month series of public events, school workshops, performances and creative interventions the project considers the genetic 'building blocks' of contemporary Manchester. Across 2023 the project will run 22 Core events based on a collaboratively produced Toolkit, curate and support around 80 further Themed events, commission creative work and deliver an exhibition. 'Manchester's DNA' allows people from across the city-region to connect with their roots, think about the stories of those who came before them, see the physical city in different ways, and to develop their understanding of what is means to be a 'citizen'. Our events will reach a projected audience of 10000 people across the city, a large intervention into the cultural life of Manchester. The Toolkit will enable the development of events relating to, or responding to, issues recognised by the PI's original 'Double Helix History' project: public history and genetic understanding; DNA, history and self; genetics and ethnicity; genetics, place, and migration; community and co-production; public understanding of the genetically inflected past.The project is a unique collaboration with the Manchester UNESCO City of Literature. Through this collaboration 'Manchester's DNA' sees the PI and RA work with a large number of partners around the city of Manchester including libraries, archives, hospitals, art galleries, festivals and publishers. It will create lasting impacts amongst a number of communities and audiences, including schoolchildren, as well as developing important links and shared working practices between University and non-University organisations. Methodologically the project explores issues of co-production, knowledge exchange, capacity building, oral history, science education, and public history.

曼彻斯特的DNA是什么？什么是城市的“基石”？城市是如何发展和演变的？曼彻斯特的“家族史”是什么？“曼彻斯特的DNA”是一个雄心勃勃的全市性节日，调查和庆祝历史，社区，移民，地方和身份。通过为期七个月的一系列公共活动，学校研讨会，表演和创造性干预，该项目认为当代曼彻斯特的遗传“积木”。到2023年，该项目将根据合作制作的工具包举办22场核心活动，策划和支持大约80场主题活动，委托创意工作并举办展览。“曼彻斯特的DNA”让来自整个城市地区的人们与他们的根源联系起来，思考那些在他们之前的人的故事，以不同的方式看待物理城市，并发展他们对成为“公民”的理解。我们的活动将达到全市10000人的预计观众，对曼彻斯特的文化生活进行大规模干预。该工具包将有助于开展与公众参与者最初的“双重阻碍的历史”项目所确认的问题有关或回应这些问题的活动：公共历史和遗传理解; DNA、历史和自我;遗传学和种族;遗传学、地点和迁移;社区和共同制作;公众对遗传学影响的过去的理解。通过这次合作，“曼彻斯特的DNA”看到PI和RA与曼彻斯特市的大量合作伙伴合作，包括图书馆，档案馆，医院，艺术画廊，节日和出版商。它将在一些社区和受众（包括学童）之间产生持久的影响，并在大学和非大学组织之间建立重要的联系和共享工作实践。在方法上，该项目探讨了共同制作，知识交流，能力建设，口述历史，科学教育和公共历史的问题。
