Cotton's Children

Picking cotton in the sweltering fields of Uzbekistan, or scavenging for scraps beneath the Spinning Mule machines in a Manchester mill...the lives of children and young people working in the cotton industry today are as hard as they were two hundred years ago. Play "Cotton’s Children" to discover whether you could earn enough to survive.

"Cottons Children" was developed by a team of young people aged 16-20 years old, working with graphic designers Smiling Wolf and games company Onteca. The games accompany the exhibition "COTTON: Global Threads" at Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, England. The exhibition continues until 13th May 2012.
