We have such a diverse group of visitors that come to the gallery, each having individual experiences and forming personal connections and responses to our collection. As the ‘Souvenir’ is the only part of the gallery you can take home it needs to reflect the individual experience. With our new range of products centered around Sappho by August C. Mengin we wanted to embrace those individual connections. Through collaborations with artists and makers we were able to invite different voices and responses to the work and create a truly unique offer so that our visitors can find their experience reflected amongst the range. Whether that be the censored version where Sappho makes you look her in the eye by leaning on her censored bar, the playful limited-edition figurine of Sappho as the idol, the Sappho the legend bag, or a copy of the painting to hang on your wall.
Hopefully you will find your ‘souvenir’ amongst our range of considered products that celebrate this artwork - with a pinch of Mancunian humour.
