Designed to be easily moved from community to community, the sculpture is being used in educate the public as part of an area-specific anti-violence programme and is currently visiting schools and educational facilities around Manchester, with plans to take it further afield.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/manchesterbe.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_3625-Copy.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text=”DSC_3625 (Copy)” sticky_enabled=”0″] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
