For many the past is history, life moves on and what's done is done. But as we reap the benefits from the sins and suffering of our ancestors, so we should also be reminded of what brought us all to where we are today.
A Wicked Trade was created by young people from south Manchester and Salford in partnership with The Manchester Museum, The Whitworth Art Gallery and Reel Manchester.
