SUMMARY:Exhibition: Hiraeth
DESCRIPTION:Hiraeth is an ‘untranslatable’ Welsh word conveying a sense of deep longing for a home which you cannot return to\, or which maybe never was.  \nIts closest English equivalent would be ‘homesickness’\, but it’s closer to the Portuguese saudade or the Russian toska. \nThe word was the inspiration for a project supported by the student volunteering organisation Cambridge Hub\, exploring how different groups of people relate to home and belonging in Cambridge and how we map our memories in relation to place and material. \nIn the summer of 2019\, the Hiraeth Project particularly focused on migrant memories\, and the challenges of constructing a home and identity in the context of displacement. The work from this fantastic project will be on display at the Museum of Cambridge in a unique exhibition related to these stories and memories. \nThe exhibition will explore how different groups of people relate to home and belonging in Cambridge\, through audio recordings of participants talking about places in the city\, maps of the city they drew from memory\, alongside photos and further information about the project. There will also be the opportunity for visitors to the exhibition to contribute their own memories to a collective map of Cambridge\, both as part of the exhibition and during a participatory mapping workshop on the 9th November\, as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Pride & Place: An LGBTQ+ Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat is the Museum of Cambridge doing for LGBTQ+ History Month? \nWe’re hosting a special community curated exhibition. \nActivism is a key theme of LGBTQ+ history month in 2019\, a year that marks the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York (spearheaded by black and Latina trans activists)\, which energised the movement for LGBTQ+ rights and inspired the first Pride March – Cambridge aims to hold its first Pride March in 2019. One of the basic notions of activism is that greater visibility leads to change. \nPride & Place: An LGBTQ+ Exhibition highlights activists in many guises\, both gay and straight\, that shaped the history of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights – from the overtly political\, to the intellectuals and authors whose lives and work suggested a path to a more inclusive world\, to what we could call accidental activists created in flashpoints of opposition\, as well as grassroots groups the LGBTQ+ community here\, in Cambridge\, today. \nThe exhibition also highlights episodes in the wider LGBTQ+ social history of the city and explores the nature of the community\, through its community spaces\, individual experiences and some of the support networks that presently exist. \nWe aim to start a conversation so come along and share your thoughts with us – you’ll have a bit more time now as we’ve extended the exhibition to Sunday 7 April. \n

SUMMARY:Event: Castle Hill Open Day - Wobbly Goings-on at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of frolics\, laughter and fun on Saturday 21 July \nCome and explore one of the oldest\, most vibrant and interesting parts of the city of Cambridge as many of the venues in the area open their doors to visitors for the afternoon for Castle Hill Open Day 2018. \nThere’ll be events aplenty and something for every everyone from 12:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday 21 July. \nJoin us here at the Museum of Cambridge as we explore the history of jelly with Sue Bailey – our very own Fanny Cradock – and find out how combining food and science can lead to loads of wobbly\, fruit-flavoured fun in our practical demonstrations throughout the afternoon. \nFanny will tell us the history of jelly and about the copper and china jelly moulds on display in our collection. She’ll be making jellies in retro aluminium bunny rabbit jelly moulds\, so familiar to children of the 1960s and 1970s\, as well as testing modern day jelly moulds\, courtesy of Tala. \nYou can even get involved yourself! Make your own fabulously-coloured\, quick-setting agar jelly balls\, see who can make the tallest tower out of marshmallows and spaghetti and create your very own vision of Cambridge in the the year 2196. \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you there! \nDr Sue Bailey works as a food historian\, food science lecturer and consultant. She has over 25 years of experience in food and education as lead for food communications and food science degree courses at London Metropolitan University. \nA guest on Channel Four’s Great British Bake Off\, Sue showed presenter Sandi Toksvig how to make a Cambridge Pudding. She is a frequent expert contributor to Channel Four’s Food Unwrapped\, BBC One’s Rip Off Britain food exposes and ITV’s Save Money Good Health. \nSue regularly appears in the guise of the colourful and fabulously waspish Fanny Cradock\, combining demonstrations of retro 1960s and 1970s party recipes with an exploration of the chef’s influential role as an early television celebrity gourmand. Fanny was keen to encourage children to get into the fun of cooking and trying different foods and Sue carries on her campaign with gusto!

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mary Charlotte Greene - Streets\, Inns\, Yards and Courts of Cambridge\, 1894 - 1950
DESCRIPTION:  We are pleased to announce that we are extending the exhibition for a further fortnight   \n“Cambridge had called me to it and I love the place” \nBorn in 1860 in Takeley\, Essex\, Mary Charlotte Greene had a passion for painting from a young age. She studied at the Colarossi Academy in Paris\, while staying with her sister Helen\, before training at the Royal Academy in London. \nHer initial dismay at a family decision to live in Harston\, Cambridgeshire\, grew into a love of the village\, the surrounding countryside and the nearby town of Cambridge. Working from a studio in a side road off St Andrew’s Street\, she became a prominent member of the Cambridge Drawing Society and served as its President from 1926-29.  \nHer early work captures many of the streetscapes\, buildings\, inns\, yards\, and courts of Cambridge that were demolished during the growth and modernisation of the town in the early part of the last century. \nRead more about Mary Charlotte Greene and how she influenced the artist and wood engraver Gwen Raverat on our blog pages for April.  \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum from 30 March to view drawings\, watercolours\, oil paintings and prints from our Mary Charlotte Greene Collection and explore her unique record of the history and development of our city.\n \nThis exhibition is part of Capturing Cambridge\, a project funded by Cambridge City Council.

SUMMARY:Talk: Bags of Yarn
DESCRIPTION:Discover the joys of creating beautiful and practical things from recycled materials\nCambridge textile artist Jenny Langley will explore how working with recycled materials feeds her creativity and inspires her to try new and different ideas. \n“It lead me to a deep appreciation of all the good things that I have in my life\, so I’m much happier with my lot than I used to be. No more striving to get what I haven’t got\, as ”ve already got great riches. I now treat everything as precious\, and I feel that that’s a really good way to look at the world.” \nJenny will tell us the story of how she came to work with recycled materials\, her techniques and what you will need to start to creating your very own things. She will also bring some fabrics to share with those who are eager to get start immediately. \nYou can find more of Jenny’s work at Art Textiles \nWe’ll be collecting your thoughts and ideas about recycling and how to make the best of pre-own materials as part of our Capturing Cambridge project
