Wednesday 28 August 2024, 11am-1pm. South Asia Gallery, Manchester Museum, M13 9PL

Join Manchester Museum and Ananna - Manchester Bangladeshi Women's Organisation, as we come together to learn the elegant skill of Bengali saree draping. Who better to learn from, than Aunties who have mastered the art form over generations? 

Everyone is welcome to join in, get dressed up and have their photo taken to remember your experience by in our award winning South Asia Gallery . You'll hear saree stories first hand from different generations of Aunties, and we hope you can share your own too.

Ananna has empowered women for over 30 years across Greater Manchester; they provide meaningful activities, support and information for women who are survivors of domestic abuse or have struggled with mental health illness. Their mission statement: 

'Women and girls with a shared identity, striving together to enable positive change. For women, led by women.'

There will be another workshop for young people and adults at 6pm, Wednesday 28 August.
