Cephas Williams' large photographic portraits of Black people living in Britain, many from Greater Manchester, return to the city at Aviva Studios five years after they were first shown in the Arndale. It's a free, drop-in exhibition with no booking, and a calm one to walk round with children and talk about who appears in the pictures. The building is step-free throughout, so buggies are easy.
