International Women's Day 2026
About this Event

Join us in partnership with MACFEST Muslim Arts and Culture Festival and Healthier Futures for a panel event celebrating International Women's Day 2026.

We will be welcoming a panel from Uncertain Futures, a participatory research project exploring art as research, focusing on understanding inequalities around work for women over 50 in Manchester.

The panel brings together a diverse range of voices of working women in Manchester, alongside researchers from the participatory project which interviewed 100 older women about their experiences of work and worklessness in relation to work and retirement.
