The School of Arts, Languages and Cultures is delighted to be part of the µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Festival 2018.

µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Festival 2018 logo.Returning for its 5th edition from 7 to 11 June 2018, the biennial µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Festival will offer a packed long-weekender of discovering histories and heritage through music, film, debate, talks, theatre, performance, walking tours, arts and much more.

It will also include the wondrous µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Celebration Day – this year moving to the new venue of µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Central Library.

Delivered by charity µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories, the 2018 µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Festival features a brand-new format and with a programme of events curated by µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories, alongside partner events happening across Greater µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp, and all inspired by the festival theme of protest, democracy and freedom of speech.

The theme of protest, democracy and freedom of speech for µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories Festival 2018 comes in the year that marks the 100th anniversary of The Representation of the People's Act, brought in to reform the electoral system in Great Britain, a movement that began in µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp; and the 150th anniversary of the formation of the TUC (Trades Union Congress) in µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp and Salford in 1868 by the µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp and Salford Trades Council with values of democracy, freedom of speech and the right to protest going to the very heart of the organisation.

Plus, µÎµÎ´òÅÚapp Histories is developing and delivering programmes of work to lead up to the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre in 2019.
