Legacy Exhibition

2/3/2019

This was another event put on in celebration of International Women's day. The event was held in the Chuck Gallery, Longsight Manchester. A delightful and very unassuming looking building on the outside, however, when once you are in - you are mesmerised by the beautiful, exciting and tantalising pieces of African Art. It's like a 'tardis'. You could never imagine the interest, which you find inside.
There were three guest female speakers plus an artist from Guadalupe who spoke about her work.
The first speaker was Emma Elston MBE and the CEO of UK Container Maintenance. She spoke about how she has built a million pound business as a woman in a male business environment. I liked how she referred to the men around her within the business of containers - Male, Stale and Pale.
The second speaker, Dr Ngozi Ed-Osagie, is a Clinical Head of Division, Consultant Neonatologist. Dr Edi-Osagie is of, what I call mixed heritage, a Nigerian father and West Indian mother. Within her family four generations  of her family, all women, have all worked at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Now this needs to be celebrated and highlighted.  Especially with regards to our NHS celebrating 70 Years of existence and with the confusion Brexit brings about immigrants and jobs. There is something she said which stuck with me. She told a story of how to celebrate the neo-natal ward a photo was taken of babies. The doctor asked a question of the photo: "why are there no babies of colour?" The response was: "the photo is in colour". Now this type of response makes it clear that some people even the educated require 'cultural intelligence' to this day.
The artist of the Legacy Collection, Josephe Cocles, also made a statement, which resonated with me. "We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience and NOT human beings having a spiritual experience."
