Re/Assemble is a new exhibition by Manchester-based arts organisation IAP:MCR. In 1988 20,000 people gathered in Manchester to protest against Section 28 – a clause in the Local Government Act that prohibited the ‘promotion of homosexuality’ by schools and local authorities. Known as the 'Never Going Underground' march, this would be the largest LGBTQIA+ demonstration in British history. The exhibition will feature newly commissioned artworks that respond to the legacy of Section 28, explore themes of protest and resilience, and celebrate queer voices and creativity.
