Home Manchester – A great hub showcasing modern art What is Home Manchester? Home is a modern art space in the heart of Manchester. It includes a number of Gallery spaces, a cinema, theatres, a café and a restaurant. They hold a varied programme of Art Exhibitions each year highlighting a number of key issues to the public such as Science, Climate Change, Animals, Home, Poverty and more.] Current Exhibitions As part of their Spring 2023 programme there are currently 3 different exhibitions and they are as follows: Nick Jordan: Natural Interaction Chris Paul Daniels: Is there anybody there? Parham Ghalamdar: Painting, An Unending Nick Jordan: Natural Interaction Natural Interaction is an exhibition that explores the interdependencies between healthcare and social wellbeing. It looks at health conditions with symbiotic systems that are found in nature. The Exhibition emphasises these issues in different ways including drawings and sculptures. It also features a series of films which are: Rare Frequencies Genetic Sequences The Entangled Forest This was an excellent exhibition as the artwork beautifully highlighted these important issues through the use of forests, botanical gardens and woodlands. They are full of detail and they transport you to that environment. The mushroom spore prints as a family tree and the green house were also incredible and unique. How Nick uses objects to connect with the issues of green spaces and climate change is something that is done immaculately with a lot of detail and thought. Chris Paul Daniels: Is there anybody there? This artistic film explores notion of individual and collective memory, how it is created, by whom and whose stories, identities and cultures are missing. It is a film that is thought provoking that is not showcased in a chronological order which can make you thinks but also can make you feel dizzy. It was also accompanied by a lovely musical score. Parham Ghalamdar: Painting, An Unending This Exhibition was exquisite to watch as the artist used different ways to create his drawings which included oil, ceramics and animation. His art is from the heart in which you are instantly connected to his ideas of politics, community, identity and migration. The highlights of this exhibition was the tent in a 15th Century Fresco and the vases featured in the 11th Century poems of Omar Khayyam. The way that he uses colour and objects together to create his art is effortless and he creates a scene that is eye catching to look at.

A cultural gem that never fails to impress. Nestled in the heart of the city, HOME stands as a beacon of artistic excellence, offering a diverse array of performances, films, exhibitions, and events that cater to every taste and interest. My visits always left me in awe of its vibrant atmosphere and commitment to showcasing innovative and thought-provoking work. From groundbreaking theatrical productions to cutting-edge independent films and captivating art exhibitions, there's always something exciting happening here. The theater's state-of-the-art facilities provide a comfortable and immersive experience for audiences, while its welcoming staff go above and beyond to ensure that every visitor feels valued and appreciated. One of the highlights of my visits was the opportunities to catch live performances in their intimate theater spaces. They also boasts a world-class cinema program, featuring a curated selection of films from around the globe. Whether you're a fan of indie flicks, foreign cinema, or Hollywood blockbusters, there's something for everyone to enjoy on the big screen. The theater's commitment to diversity and inclusivity is also evident in its programming, with a strong emphasis on amplifying underrepresented voices and perspectives. It's refreshing to see a cultural institution that actively seeks to engage with a wide range of communities and explore pressing social issues through the arts. Overall, my experience at HOME is nothing short of extraordinary. It's a dynamic and inspiring space that celebrates the power of storytelling and fosters meaningful connections between artists and audiences. Whether you're a seasoned theatergoer or a curious newcomer, a visit here is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Second visit. And still a little underwhelmed on customer service. Building incorporates cinemas, theatres, art spaces plus bars and restaurants. All comfy and modern as you would expect. Box office was helpful, and I had decided to have food and a drink before catching a film. I’d noticed on the outside wall a sandwich dish that I quite fancied. Sat in the downstairs bar area I couldn’t find a single menu to hand. I went to the bar to enquire about the jackfruit vegan sandwich, I was quoted something off the menu. And I responded the vegan jackfruit sandwich. Home have a pager system to collect your food from the side of the bar. No issue with that. Collected my food to be greeted by a pile of chips. Returning to the bar I was informed the sandwich only available upstairs. I was now confused to what I had, and if it was 100% vegan. The young lady I had ordered from came over to me to say they would happily refund and I could go to the bar upstairs. But I had lost it by then. And the chips pretty standard frozen affairs did not help. So menus on all tables. And staff that listen to customers would improve the rating. Rest of the visit smooth enough.

HOME Theatre Manchester is a fabulous, 'buzzy' cultural space, interesting both to visit and experience. I was here to see "I Daniel Blake," Dave Johns' impactful stage adaptation of Ken Loach's film. During his Great Purge of 1937-8, Stalin personally authorised the deaths of some 44,000 of his opponents. It was a managerial process to be completed. I've always thought that Mrs Thatcher (a good housekeeper in her own estimation) regarded the dismantling of the UK state's social and economic safety net in the same way. Both focused on their perceived greater good, not the consequences of their actions. But criminal acts, even those not deemed 'criminal' in law, have tragic human consequences. "I Daniel Blake" sets out what followed on from Mrs Thatcher's beginnings. We should all care about the injustice of that, especially when, as here, it is brought indelibly to life. I have nothing but praise for this production. I am glad I saw it.

Conveniently located on the edge of the city centre this is a great pace to meet for drinks, food and a catch up, or to stop off after a day in town, the atmosphere is relaxed if a little cold when it's quiet, the staff are warm and welcoming no matter how busy it is, the food is usually well cooked and presented and the prices are pretty reasonable. As more of a complex than a one trick pony there is an independent cinema as well as a theatre on the site, a quick look through the screenings will always help you find something less mainstream to watch, although the theatre productions are something that's never grabbed me, but I'll always have a look just in case. Always a bonus, anywhere, the coffee is pretty good as well... 😉

Vibrant and dynamic cultural centre. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in theatre, cinema, or contemporary art. A great addition to Manchester's cultural scene. The gallery showcases contemporary art exhibitions from around the world, with a focus on local and emerging artists. The exhibitions change regularly. The restaurant offers a diverse menu. It's a great place to enjoy a meal or a drink before or after a performance. Their cinema is one of my fav. It showcases independent and international films, as well as classics and cult favourites. Comfortable seating, excellent sound with a bar serves drinks and snacks.
