The Museums at Night Connect10 contest winners get to stage an event involving photographer Simon Roberts, an internationally-acclaimed landscape and documentary photographer who spent a year crossing Russia and was Official Artist of the 2010 General Election.
This is what the Working Class Movement Library will do with Simon if it wins…
"There are many stories in libraries. Usually they're written down. We want Simon to help us celebrate the image. He will photograph modern dissenters, drawing inspiration from the stories of past campaigns archived in our library. We'll use these, and the public's photographic responses, to debate the power of pictures and writing to move and to persuade".
Sound good? You've got until March 5th to make those votes count. The other two museums are in the Isle of Wight and Guernsey but this is Salford!
