Posted on behalf of organiser:

We are looking forward to welcoming photographer Simon Roberts to Salford's Working Class Movement Library on Saturday 19 May, as part of the nationwide Museums at Night weekend.

We're keen for local photographers to get a chance to be part of the event. Please email enquiries@wcml.org.uk (mentioning Talk Photography) if you'd like to be entered into the ballot to win free tickets for the talk Simon is going to give at the Library on that evening. He is planning to talk about his work, particularly his time as the official 2010 General Election artist. He will also share some thoughts about his current project which looks at the physical, political and social effects of the recent UK recession, and in particular at protestors' home-made signs.

Simon has very kindly also offered to spend time at the Library on the afternoon of 19 May. We're inviting campaigners to drop in between 1pm and 4pm - no tickets required to this part of the day. You can come and talk to us about what you care about and bring along an object that sums up what you do or is important to your cause.

Simon will photograph or video you and you'll have a chance to find out what you have in common with activists in the past.

If you're a campaigning photographer come along and be inspired by your history. More details here:

Got something you can share straightaway? Please do add a picture to our new 'Campaigning for change' group [www.flickr.com/groups/1938946@N24/].
