Rooted in Bury and working with the town’s veterans groups, its LGBTQ+ Forum, the area’s South Asian and migrant community, and volunteers and staff at the Fusiliers Museum, The Met will engage with its diverse communities to gather responses to the notion of freedom. How free are we now? Are some of us more free than others? How do we continue to work for greater freedom? The involvement of the Fusiliers Museum staff, volunteers, and archive will be key to the development of the creative outcomes and will ensure that the project is anchored to both the history and stories of the local regiment and local stories relating to other drives for freedom that have taken place or impacted the local area.
