The Whitworth invites visitors to explore its latest exhibitions during a special evening opening, with an artist conversation, opportunities to discover new work and time to experience the gallery after hours.

The evening includes the Bagri Commission, The Manifold of Memory, a monumental felt installation by artist Gulnur Mukazhanova exploring memory, identity and the changing meanings of textiles. Presented in partnership with the Bagri Foundation, the commission will be introduced through an in-conversation event with the artist and independent curator Indira Dyussebayeva-Ziyabek.

Visitors can also explore Reflections – Sangat and the Self, The Labour of Care and Our Collections, Reimagined, offering different perspectives on art, identity, care and cultural heritage.

The event provides an opportunity to experience the gallery’s exhibitions outside regular opening hours. Entry is free, with optional donations supporting the Whitworth’s programme of accessible exhibitions and events. The bar opens at 5.30pm.
