Manchester's DNA: History, Place, Identity

曼彻斯特的DNA里有什么？这座城市的“积木”是什么？这座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是一个雄心勃勃的城市范围内的节日，调查和庆祝历史、社区、移民、地点和身份。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，该项目考虑了当代曼彻斯特的基因积木。在2023年，该项目将基于协作制作的工具包运行22个核心活动，策划和支持约80个进一步的主题活动，委托创意工作并提供展览。曼彻斯特的DNA让来自整个城市地区的人们与他们的根联系在一起，思考前人的故事，以不同的方式看待这座实体城市，并发展他们对成为一名“公民”意味着什么的理解。我们的活动将覆盖全市10000名预计观众，这是对曼彻斯特文化生活的一次大规模干预。该工具包将使事件的发展，涉及或回应的问题，最初的“双螺旋历史”项目承认的问题：公共历史和基因的理解；DNA，历史和自我；遗传学和种族；遗传学，地点和迁移；社区和联合制作；公众对受基因感染的过去的理解。通过这次合作，曼彻斯特的DNA使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、美术馆、艺术节和出版商。它将在包括学生在内的许多社区和受众中产生持久的影响，并在大学和非大学组织之间建立重要的联系和分享工作实践。在方法上，该项目探讨了联合制作、知识交流、能力建设、口述历史、科学教育和公共历史等问题。

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.
