An audio work made by young people from Broome House and poet Tony Curry and artist Antony Hall

Project participant opening a bonbonniereYoung people from Broome House worked with poet Tony Curry and sound artist Antony Hall to create this audio work. The young people looked at objects from Manchester Art Galleries Revealing Histories: Remembering Slavery handling collection. Items such as cotton, tea cups, a bonbonniere, and sugar nippers were used as inspiration for this audio artwork.

"The object I found most interesting was the bonbonniere because it looked quite expensive but it was really just for storage use. You used it for sweets and mints."
