An invitation to see the world anew
Welcome to the the second in a series of documentaries and films that give voice to those communities, human and non-human, which are marginalised and excluded from mainstream narratives.
Title: The Salt of the Earth Director: Wim Wenders & Juliano Ribeiro Salgado Date: Friday, 3rd June 2022 Start time: 6.30pm Film Duration: 1:34 hours Tickets are free (donations welcome) SPACES LIMITED TO 20 Overview: For the last 40 years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. He has witnessed some of the major events of our recent history; international conflicts, starvation and exodus. He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of wild fauna and flora, and of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. Note: we decided to screen this documentary now as the work of Sebastião Salgado is coming to Manchester for the very first time in May 2022. The exhibition is being held at The Science and Industry Museum from 13 May until 14 August 2022. Tickets are free but need to be booked in advance. After the screening: Please note that the following is optional. For those who wish to we will spend up to 60 minutes exploring and sorting through the major themes that have arisen in the documentary/film. What happens next: major themes will become the focus of future events in the big room. Request Tickets
