Saturday 5 June marks the one-year anniversary of Manchester’s Black Lives Matter demonstration.

People across the globe are rallying against the killing of Black people by the police and against racism, racialised inequality, discrimination, violence, and oppression.

Although CAN has been busy delivering projects during the COVID lockdown, this Summer will feature many new events - both in-person and online - for audiences to enjoy.

The COVID lockdowns of 2020 into 2021 meant CAN missed the infectious energy of children in person in the classroom in our Schools Linking Project in Bury.

Due to the challenges of COVID lockdown in 2020, CAN is delivering its work for Refugee Week online.

CAN is an expert in artist development, especially for new migrant artists, and those under-represented in the creative sector.  To support them, we launched the new CAN Do Creatives course on Tuesday 22 September 2020.

During this difficult time, our thoughts are with the friends of CAN - the young people, artists, organisations, individuals and communities we work with - and we send our good wishes to you, your families and loved ones.

In 2020 - 2021, CAN will programme a series of Welcome events in libraries across Greater Manchester designed and curated by refugee-heritage artists.
