SUMMARY:Cambridge Talks: Weathering Identity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Cambridge Talks\, a series of events raising funds for the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou. \nWhat does it mean to live in weather? \nWhat memories do you have of weather in Cambridgeshire and the Fens? \n How does weather relate to a sense of place and identity? \nThese questions are particularly relevant at a time when both weather and local identity are being reconfigured in England\, the former through climate change and the latter through the changing role of the England in the wake of Brexit and Scottish nationalism. \n These questions are explored through the project ‘Weathering Identity: weather and memory in England’\, a collaboration between King’s College London and the Museum of Cambridge.  \nThis project seeks to explore how people build their lives around the weather; how we remember the weather\, and how weather relates to our sense of place and belonging\, with a particular focus on the east of England. \n The project is approaching the question through the medium of oral history; seeking to understand how weather weaves into the stories we tell ourselves about past and present experience\, and what it means to live in England and within a changing climate. \nThis talk will explore the project’s preliminary findings\, current academic thinking on weather and ‘weathering’ and representations of Fenland weather in poetry\, prose and academic writings.  \nWe will also discuss how you yourself can contribute to this project\, and what we are doing with the stories we collect. \nGeorge Adamson in a Senior Lecturer in Geography at King’s College London. His work understands how weather and climate\, and their associated risks\, are ‘made’ through the interaction of personal experience\, scientific knowledge\, culture and institutions. His previous work has explored the construction of landslide and drought risk in India and it’s relationship to colonial and postcolonial politics\, the representation of global climate modes such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation in science and media\, and more recently the relationship between weather\, memory and place in England. This work is underpinned by scientific research on long-term climate variability\, often using qualitative sources to generate indices of climatic variabilities over the past three centuries. \nWeathering Identity: Weather and Memory in England’ is a King’s College London project to look at the relationship between weather\, memory and sense of place and identity in the east of England. We are interested in what does\, and what does not\, get remembered about English weather\, and the meaning that people attach to those memories. Memories are being collected through oral histories and through the website weathermemories.org\, and will be used to inform an artistic response by project artist Inés Cámara Leret. Weathering Identity is supported by the King’s Together fund and is a collaboration between the Department of Geography\, Department of Culture\, Media and Creative Industries\, and the Department of Neuroscience at King’s College London. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou\, which aims to help us overcome the huge financial blow dealt by the Covid-19 pandemic.    \nWe want to say a huge thank you to all our supporters who have helped us over the last few weeks and months.

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!
