Cotton

As a major new free exhibition is announced that will reveal the links between Manchester, cotton and the transatlantic slave trade, Sally MacDonald (Science and Industry Museum Director) and Keisha Thompson (Scott Trust Legacies of Enslavement Programme Manager) discuss their hopes for the project.

Project Curator Zara Shijan shares more about Cotton Connections, a two-year project exploring the museum’s textiles industry collection in partnership with local Black and South Asian communities.
