The Mills Are Alive
The Mills Are Alive in Manningham is a free, large-scale projection show which will illuminate Lister Mills' iconic chimney across the evenings of 3rd, 4th and 5th March 2022. It is brought to you by Bradford-based international arts company The Brick Box.
Intertwining archive footage, music, and original photographs, The Mills Are Alive will be an immersive experience which animates the histories and imagined futures of Manningham. The projections and sound will bring the brickwork to life with the stories of mill workers, the dreams of local school children, and the rich cultures of our community.
Location: Field on Patent Street, Bradford, BD9 5BE
