Shadow Girl—the city streets is about a girl that has become afraid of people and become a shadow of herself as a result of the things people say about her—hurtful words that chip away.
It’s about making people living with disability more visible on our streets.
Chrissy Jones is a Manchester-based artist living with a learning disability and this is her first solo work, originally developed as part of Proud & Loud Arts group.
Chrissy said, “it's about a girl who is upset and anxious about being bullied so she hides in the shadows where no one can see her."
Shadow Girl—the city streets is a roaming performance, designed to be encountered by chance. It takes place on August 4 between St Ann’s Square and Exchange Square.
