The Forever Manchester Podcast
Society & Culture
After the Manchester Arena terror attack on May 22nd 2017, more than 60 Manchester creatives, including Peter Saville and Malcolm Garret, came together to turn Tony Walsh's iconic ‘This is The Place’ poem into a book.
The poem, originally commissioned by, and written for Forever Manchester, gave language to our city in a moment when it wasn’t sure what to feel.
This is the Place quickly became an iconic piece of literature, spreading across the globe as a symbol of defiance, unity and love.
The resulting collaboration of creatives resulted in a brilliant & unique hardback coffee table book that not only marks a tragic moment in time but equally looks forward with hope.
In this interview, James Torry who initiated and headed up development of the book, talks to Terry Snowden about what became a truly unique and creative project.
Forever Manchester is Greater Manchester's Community Foundation, the only charity that raises money to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester. Find out more www.forevermanchester.com
