On 12th February 2015, Maria Balshaw was interviewed By Radio 4, she talked about the very diverse communities in Moss Side on their doorstep and stated “We want to give something back to Moss Side”.

This was in answer to the question about the Whitworth Art Gallery being about catering for all walks of life.  She is now to be promoted to the top job of director of the Tate.  We wonder what people from Moss Side think about her publicly broadcasted statement?
