In the Making presents the work of ten artists who have created new work inspired by Salford’s geology and archaeology; its geography, waterways, industrial history and development; the people and their voices; as well as Salford Museum & Art Gallery’s collections.
Ten Obstructions came together in 2019 through bOlder, a Castlefield Gallery/GMCA visual artist talent programme for artists over fifty in Greater Manchester.
