Books at ‘Button Up!’ – Manchester Libraries collaboration with Factory International

Some of our library books are spending the summer at Factory International as part of their exhibition and events featuring the work of Ai Weiwei. The books will be on display and will be available to read in the building while visiting.

Families can also enjoy spending time at a traditional teahouse which has been built inside the studio entrance and is open throughout the exhibition.

In addition to the library books to browse and enjoy in the space there will be free activity sheets inspired by Ai Weiwei’s art and activism and exciting Make and Create sessions.

If you are inspired by the exhibition, we have a range of books in our library collection about Ai Weiwei and his life and work.
