The Roads We Walked: The Fifth Pan-African Congress
The Roads We Walked is IWM North's newest Big Picture Show, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Fifth Pan-African Congress, which took place at Chorlton-on-Medlock Town Hall, Manchester, in October 1945.
About the Big Picture Show
Dominating IWM North's Main Exhibition Space is the Big Picture Show.
Using surround sound, projected digital moving images and photographs, the Big Picture Show brings a broad range of perspectives into poignant focus, reflecting not only on the immediate effects of war, but also on what happens when the guns stop firing.
Shows are projected every hour on the 27-foot-high walls of our Main Exhibition Space, each focusing on a different aspect of war.
