A new exhibition highlighting the struggle for disabled peoples’ rights in Manchester launches this weekend at the People’s History Museum.
Its centrepiece is a sculpture called The Manchester Argonaut, which features ‘bright colours, intricate patterns, statement tattoos and fantastical accessories’. It is also stood in the shape of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, according to artist Jason Wilsher-Mills.
He said: “The Manchester Argonaut is a positive and authentic depiction of activism and the rights of disabled people, which are sometimes overlooked by those who see the cost of everything, but the value of nothing, including human lives.”
