The Rusholme Project
Celebrating vibrant Rusholme
The Rusholme Project celebrated Rusholme as a vibrant multi-cultural neighbourhood that attracts people from a wide variety of cultures, religions and communities.
Local British Asian artists worked with pupils from three schools in Rusholme; Crescent Community High School for Girls, St Edwards Primary and Claremont Primary Schools. Each school produced a poster based on the patterns and symbols, fashion and food of Rusholme. The poster was displayed in cafes, shops and parks throughout Manchester.
This project is part of a wider international collaboration between SHISHA, Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Metropolitan University.
