‘Do what you want’ the screen says. People are invited to speak, sing, perform, recite or entertain fellow visitors in this exhibition – a space handed over to anyone from Rochdale to have their own artworks displayed and voices heard. People have been bringing their artwork and ideas to Free-for-all, an experimental and inclusive project at Touchstones, turning the gallery into an active, discursive space where visitors, residents, citizens can place themselves directly in the gallery, rather than simply seeing themselves or others represented in art. The gallery is also actively encouraging loads of events to take place in the space – things you wouldn’t normally find in a museum, delightfully diverse and sometimes surprising.

It’s an idea by artist Harry Meadley, who previously encouraged Touchstones to get out as much of their art as possible in But what if we Tried? a few years back. It’s delightful, joyous even, to the see the gallery continuing with experiments in inclusive and co-created participatory museum practice.
