Here's Twitter reviewing our exhibition workshop. We've begun its evolution. In the 1st half of our video MMU lecturer Anze takes us through creating our November fashion show. In the 2nd half I take us through creating our September temple that will house our fashion show. And we've had 2 international offers. Sorry the sound is terrible.

What an ace lunch hour today. I wandered over to @WhitworthArt to see the exhibition about the Moss Side nightclub The Reno and ended up chatting to Linda Brogan @ExcavatingReno who was hugely instrumental in the incredible excavation

Oh yeah. Reno and it's sister The Nile. Along with an assortment of 'blues' houses. The Moss was buzzing back then.

@ExcavatingReno Hi Linda. I was just going to email you regarding the possibility of an interview. It's for an on-going project about black musical culture in the North-west. Can I snatch five minutes of your time on the evening to say hi and chat? Pat Mellow

This is one of my favourite commissions from our @galdemzine print mag last year by my love @NeelamTailor.

This project is totally collective. The space changes from person to person based on what they curate from memory Afroville Football group to the excavation site.

I was raised in Manchester, now in Canada, BC, It's worth noting this place was bulldozed for a reason years back, it was a hell hole, an absolute den of iniquity in the worst possible way. Often we romanticize places & events, but its good to realize past places need burying.
Upping It! @UppingIt Mar 28
@ExcavatingReno @WhitworthArt Well done Linda, Carmen & all the Moss Siders past and present for a great launch to the year long exhibition. Tonight former Reno goers danced with their children and grandchildren and brought local history to life. Great to see what was dug up.

It's clear one has to keep returning - the collective has taken a set X by X gallery space; made it inviting w/ couches +tables for reasoning as well as an on-rotation (DJ-like) set so it's like a number of exhibits/songs in the time the Reno lives there. Conceptually BRILLIANT

What a brilliant exhibition! Congratulations to @ExcavatingReno and @agms10 graduate Nikita Gill. Really looking forward to how project evolves during its residency @WhitworthArt

Campbell Price @EgyptMcr Apr 4
Really struck by the echoes between modern objects excavated from #TheReno @WhitworthArt & the same sorts of things @McrMuseum from the ancient Egyptian town of #Kahun. Both, in their everyday banality, meant something to their users. #museums #Manchester

I was blown away & really moved by the whole project. So powerful that people brought together by a place can then, years down the line, bring that place back to life. You could just feel the love x

@WhitworthArt hands down the best, most inclusive visit I’ve ever had. Modern history, social research and cultural identity in @ExcavatingReno #Reno is completely spectacular!! And then...students from my old school @hyndburnacademy in the Ruskin exhibition! More of this please!
And last but not least our fame is spreading.
Reno Fame is international folks: Amsterdam
Dear Linda,
My name is Johny Pitts - I co-founded Afropean.com, a journal dedicated to telling the stories of the Afro-European diaspora. On Saturday, June 22nd we're putting on a day of events in Amsterdam all about the notion of intergenerational dialogue. We have confirmed Bernardine Evaristo, Minna Salami and a group of brilliant poets lead by Fusion. We should be able to confirm the Last Poets soon.
I wondered if you'd be interested in taking part in a panel discussion all about how we create an archive of information for future generations? We are big fans of the work you're doing with the Reno and think you could add much to the discussion. We could offer travel, accommodation - the panel will be around two hours long.
Really hope you're free and up for joining us,
All best,
Johny
Reno fame is international folks: SpainHi Linda!!Good news you are going to spend some days here in Spain!!Since I consider your work in the Renos dico a job all archeologists in Spain should know about I was wondering if you would mind to give some kind of talking here.The easiest thing would be in Madrid (I know a lot of people that would be pretty kind to here from you) if you want or could be in Alicante too. (Trip and hotel would be free for you of course)Let me know if you mind to do it or if you just want to have some surely diserved resting days here in Spain.RegardsJesús Martin
