Members of Age Concern’s Lesbian and Gay Social Group ‘Out in the City’ explored pre- and misconceptions in portraiture. They developed their own personal portraits by working with visual artist Jane McIver and photographer Ray Chan. A display of the portraits were launched in the CIS Manchester Gallery during LGBT History Month in February 2006 and is also part of Pride 2006.
