Culture Champions online exhibition space
This is a space where we will showcase art work, poetry and up & coming events.
Three Christmas Stars of Manchester Museum
(With apologies to the original beautiful carol!)
Poem written by Culture Champion Nakib Narat, inspired by the Made to Measure Session we held with the Culture Champions last December.

Lovely Three Stars of Zoom event
Bearing gifts so generously sent.
Magical Manchester Museum’s curiosities
Gifted from Orient to Occident.
Maria Jose’s “Made to Measure”
Amazing, extraordinary treasures!
From “Beauty & The Beasts” luminosities:
Dmitri & Rachel’s personal pleasures.
O Stars of wonder, stars so bright
Joyful, learning. So discerning
Rachel & Dimitri ’s wondrous sights!
Entomology to Botany and Zoology
Mantis Shrimp to Moths and bugs that glow
Herbariums for ecosystems yearning
As Insectophiles gather ‘neath the Mistletoe
Humans and insects connected.
All life only protected
When we are a whole.
All life only protected
When we are a whole

Thank You very much to Curators Rachel Webster and Dmitri Logunov for the wonderful Zoom talk about their work, displays and stories about some of the extraordinary plants and creatures in the Manchester Museum
The Stretford Wall of Fame
The Stretford Wall of Fame is a celebration of people connected to Stretford who have contributed to arts, culture, and social and political change within our community and beyond. Selected by local residents, and reflecting changing historical boundaries, there will be some people you will know and some you may not. We wanted to use this space to shine a light on the successes of the people less recognised for their achievements.
