FRAMEWORTHY: Manchester, UK - An Uplifting Celebration of Local Changemakers

FRAMEWORTHY, a movement dedicated to powerful and uplifting exhibitions, is bringing its inspiring pop-up showcase to HOME Manchester on 6 April 2025. The exhibition is held at HOME Manchester's vibrant spaces, this dynamic exhibition will spotlight some of the city's most extraordinary individuals across art, technology, community service, entrepreneurship, activism, and those who have succeeded against all odds - a true celebration of Manchester's impact-makers.

As part of its mission to bring these exhibitions to key cultural venues throughout the UK and further afield, FRAMEWORTHY: Manchester will honour the diverse trailblazers shaping the city's future. From pioneering artists and tech innovators to grassroots leaders driving meaningful social change, the exhibition will shine a light on those redefining who is shown, exhibited, and celebrated via art. These are uplifting, powerful, inspirational, and invigorating exhibitions where changemakers are not only recognised but can also meet, mingle, and exchange ideas.

Adding to the significance of the occasion, The Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of the City of Manchester, Councillor Paul Andrews, will be in attendance to celebrate and recognise the impact of those featured in FRAMEWORTHY: Manchester. The presence of The Lord Mayor of Manchester underscores the importance of honouring individuals who are shaping the city and beyond through their contributions to arts, business, activism, and community service.

"Manchester has always been a city of visionaries - a place where creativity, innovation, and community spirit thrive," says Nadine Duffus, Lead Curator. "FRAMEWORTHY is a movement about celebrating the people making a real difference, whether through art, activism, or industry. It's about legacy, recognition, and creating an unforgettable moment to honour their contributions."

This one-day-only exhibition in Manchester is part of FRAMEWORTHY's mission to redefine who is featured in exhibitions, ensuring that those making real impact are gracing the walls, building on millennia of artistic tradition celebrating the great and the good. HOME Manchester, a cultural landmark renowned for supporting the arts, provides the perfect setting for this celebration.

"It's rare," said a changemaker from a previous exhibition, "for a ballet dancer, an FGM survivor, and a tech entrepreneur to be in one space." FRAMEWORTHY is an impactful and uplifting celebration of those who are making a real and meaningful difference.

FRAMEWORTHY is a pioneering exhibition movement dedicated to celebrating changemakers through powerful, uplifting, and inspirational art exhibitions in key cultural venues across the UK and beyond. It redefines who is honoured in art, ensuring that those making a real impact-whether in arts, activism, technology, business, or social change-are exhibited and celebrated on the walls of prestigious galleries and cultural institutions.

Rooted in the millennia-old tradition of portraiture, FRAMEWORTHY elevates individuals who have shaped communities, driven innovation, and overcome adversity. Unlike conventional exhibitions that focus on historical figures or elite circles, FRAMEWORTHY ensures modern changemakers-from social reformers to creative pioneers-are seen, recognised, and remembered.

A MOVEMENT, NOT JUST AN EXHIBITION

More than just an art show, FRAMEWORTHY is a cultural movement that highlights the diversity of impact-featuring artists, activists, entrepreneurs, grassroots organisers, and those who have triumphed against all odds. Each exhibition is an invigorating and thought-provoking experience, where those featured are not only celebrated but also brought together to connect, share ideas, and inspire one another.

At its heart, FRAMEWORTHY champions the idea that those creating meaningful change today should be immortalised in art, building on the rich tradition of celebrating the great and the good through portraiture.

REDEFINING REPRESENTATION IN ART

Art has historically been a medium to honour figures of power, wealth, or social standing. FRAMEWORTHY disrupts this narrative by shifting the focus to real-world impact. It showcases visionaries, community leaders, and innovators, ensuring that the faces on the walls reflect the breadth and richness of modern society.

Each portrait is crafted in a painterly, fine-art style, offering a timeless yet contemporary interpretation of its subjects. The result is an emotionally compelling and deeply personal exhibition that honours not only individuals' likenesses but their missions, achievements, and legacies.

A PLATFORM FOR RECOGNITION AND CONNECTION

FRAMEWORTHY is more than an art exhibition-it is a platform for recognition and storytelling. Those featured gain visibility and the opportunity to amplify their work to wider audiences. For many, it is a chance to be recognised in a way that traditional institutions have overlooked.

These uplifting and impactful exhibitions also serve as a meeting ground for changemakers, offering rare opportunities for people from vastly different backgrounds to interact. As one participant from a previous show noted:

"It's rare to see a ballet dancer, an FGM survivor, and a tech entrepreneur in the same space-but that's the beauty of FRAMEWORTHY. It's a place where paths cross, ideas spark, and inspiration flows."

A UK-WIDE AND GLOBAL VISION

FRAMEWORTHY is committed to expanding its reach, bringing exhibitions to cultural venues across the UK and internationally. By embedding itself within established creative institutions, it supports the arts while offering fresh perspectives on who is worthy of celebration and artistic representation.

By ensuring impact-makers from all walks of life are exhibited and honoured, FRAMEWORTHY is shaping a new, more inclusive artistic landscape-one that reflects the true drivers of change in our world today.

BUILDING ON MILLENNIA OF TRADITION

For thousands of years, societies have used art to honour those who shape history-from oil-painted portraits of monarchs to grand statues of leaders. FRAMEWORTHY continues this tradition, but with a modern and democratic twist. Instead of figures of power and privilege, it showcases those actively making a difference in arts, activism, science, business, and beyond.

Through these exhibitions, FRAMEWORTHY ensures that contemporary changemakers are not only recognised today but remembered for generations to come.

THE FUTURE OF FRAMEWORTHY

As it grows, FRAMEWORTHY will continue to expand its network of cultural venues, its roster of honourees, and its impact. The movement is constantly evolving, but its mission remains clear:

To celebrate today's changemakers, honour their legacies, and inspire the generations of tomorrow-one exhibition at a time.
