SUMMARY:February Half Term - Illuminating History
DESCRIPTION:We’re lighting up the past this February Half Term at the Museum of Cambridge\, with trails and crafts relating to the Magic Lantern. \nMagic lanterns were an early type of image projector – the ancestor of film projectors used today – which were used for education and entertainment during the 17th\, 18th and 19th centuries. \nThroughout the week\, take part in a trail through the Museum and use recreation magic lanterns to see a story from Cambridge’s incredible history. \nBut that’s not all\, every day we are running a drop-in FREE craft session for you to create your own magic lantern slide picture. Come and see an original magic lantern from the Museum’s collection and try out your slide on our recreation lantern. \nWe’re also delighted to be involved in Twilight at the Museums again this year\, with a late opening on Wednesday 19th February. We’ll dim the lights and let you explore our historic building in the twilight from 4-7pm. Remember to pop over to the Enid Porter Room for the drop-in craft at the same time too! \n  \nTrail \nDuring Museum hours 15th-23rd February. \nStandard admission applies\, children 16 and under FREE! \n  \nFREE Drop-in Craft \nMonday 17th February 11:00-15:00\nTuesday 18th February 11:00-15:00\nWednesday 19th February 16:00-19:00\nThursday 20th February 11:00-15:00\nFriday 21st February 11:00-15:00\nSaturday 22nd February 13:00-16:00\nSunday 23rd February 11:00-15:00 \n  \nTwilight at the Museums \nWednesday 19th February 16:00-19:00 \nStandard admission applies\, children 16 and under FREE! \nFor more Twilight at the Museums: museums.cam.ac.uk/theme/twilight

SUMMARY:A Community Remembers: Histon Road - the Story
DESCRIPTION:Photograph by Faruk Kara. \nIn 2018-2019\, local residents were presented with the concept of the great expansion of Cambridge\, where millions of pounds were given by the central government to a) improve transport\, b) grow the housing stock\, and c) develop training appropriate to the new industries. The whole project began with the re-building of Histon Road and Milton Road. Local Histon Road residents were concerned about the road – what were we to do? \nQuick quick! We set up 2 residents associations\, and joined the discussions to make sure the road schemes were sensible. We then got ourselves together to include local residents in their personal histories of the road. We had meetings at centres all down Histon Road to gather residents together and hear their memories\, and during Covid\, this all morphed into a book\, A Community Remembers: Histon Road. \nThis is a roundtable discussion by the collaborators of the book\, A Community Remembers: Histon Road. A local oral history project supported by Cambridge City Council and Histon Road Co-op\, this beautifully compiled book has drawn on the memories and experiences of locals and forms an important record of the history of Histon Road. \nBook this talk today! \n  \nAbout the Speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotograph by Faruk Kara. \nLilian Rundblad: Local resident interested in the history of the neighbourhood and who set up the local residents’ association\, HRARA. Lilian was the mover-shaker behind the whole idea of documenting Histon Road and its environs and applied for local grants to run the meetings. \nAlison Wilson: Local resident and main author of the book. Alison introduced the Oral History programme (and the Museum of Cambridge trained our interviewers). \nFaruk Kara: Local resident and photographer\, his personal and colourful images made a special contribution to the book\, and his video of the historical stories from residents and re-building of Histon Road can be found on his website. \nAnna Crutchley: local resident and second author\, who also set up a local residents’ association\, BenRA. Anna noticed that the Co-op was inviting applications for a community grant\, which we received to print the book. As we were all volunteers\, this meant that profits from sales could be given out to local organisations. Anna also maintains the website. \nFind out more about Histon Road and the book: https://www.histonroadmemories.uk \nFind out more about Faruk Kara’s photography: https://www.faruk.kara.org.uk \n\n\n\n\n  \nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge \nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Subversive Stitching: Textiles and banner-making in women’s activism
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT. WE WILL BE RECORDING THIS TALK; PLEASE EMAIL ENQUIRIES@MUSEUMOFCAMBRIDGE.ORG.UK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE TALK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE. \nDiscover the powerful history and significance of textile banners and their role in women’s activism with Carey Bennet and Cathy Dunbar\, in this companion talk to our exhibition ‘Educating Cambridge’. \nCarey Bennet and Cathy Dunbar will share about the making of banners by Cambridge women within the context of a UK wide project in 2018 to commemorate women’s suffrage. This project celebrated the use of banners by the suffragists and suffragettes of the 1900s\, who marched to demand the vote for women. Over history\, women have used their province of sewing and weaving to assert themselves in the face of inequality and misogyny. The talk will reference banner-making’s significance in campaigns within Trades Unions\, the Peace Movement\, wider feminist campaigns and climate activism. The textile banner has become widely used in recent campaigns\, having the power to bring women together around commitment to a common cause. \n\n\nAbout the Speakers \nCarey Bennet lives and works locally as an art therapist in Cambridge\, having had previous careers as an art teacher\, researcher\, education officer and children’ services manager. Carey employs fabrics and threads as a medium for her own imagery\, and is interested in the historical use of textiles in women’s activism. \nIf you’re interested in Carey’s work\, feel free to email her at careybennet@gmail.com. \nCathy Dunbar is a feminist artist and activist\, mainly working collaboratively with other artists within the community. She is a founding member of Sew Angry\, Mrs Fubbs\, The Society of Xtras and The Freudian Slips. She has worked within the industry as a weaver\, a machinist\, a seamstress and a dressmaker at different times of her life. She uses used textiles as an art medium alongside other materials and is interested in textiles and threads as a medium and metaphor for the human condition. \nFind out more about Cathy’s work via various channels: \nInstagram: @cathydunbar54 \nBlog: cathydunbar.com \nWebsite: mrsfubbsparlour.com \nwww.Thesocietyofxtras.com \n\n\n\n\nBook now: \nThis talk has now sold out.

SUMMARY:Leah Manning's Legacy: Cambridge\, Women’s Rights\, and Spanish Refugees
DESCRIPTION:A companion talk to our exhibition ‘Educating Cambridge’\, join Peter Cunningham as he discusses the legacy and life of Leah Manning. \nAn outstanding personality born in 1886\, Leah Manning came to Cambridge in 1906 to train as a teacher at Homerton College. She caught the attention of Principal Mary Allan who persuaded her to teach at the ‘Cambridge Ragged School’ (founded 1854) in New Street\, a building now housing Anglia Ruskin’s Music Therapy Department. She is now remembered there by a Blue Plaque\, for her “pioneering struggle” as a “lifelong champion” of women’s and children’s causes. Homerton College is also recorded as funding renovation of the Ragged School. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiss Allan and other Homertonian women joined the suffragette movement. Leah herself was politically active as a member of the Fabian Society in Cambridge and aligned with trade unions and the Social Democratic Federation to support the emergent Labour Party. Leah herself in 1919 became Cambridge Chair of the National Federation of Women Workers\, campaigning against low pay and conditions of female ‘bedders’ in colleges. She went on to be one of the first women Labour MPs for Islington East\, and after World War 2\, she won Winston Churchill’s former seat as MP for Epping. \nMeanwhile\, as a campaigner against the Spanish Civil War\, in 1937 she used her political skill and experience to persuade the British government to provide a ship for evacuation of 3\,888 children from Bilbao following the bombardment of Guernica. She then oversaw the placement of these evacuees in various parts of the UK. A plaque can be seen on a house in Station Road\, Cambridge\, where Jesus College accommodated 29 Basque refugee children. \nAbout the Speaker \nPeter Cunningham studied at Cambridge 1967-’70 focusing on history and history of art\, followed by a year in Norwich at UEA and research at Leeds University. Increasingly interested in education through art\, he engaged in teacher education at Westminster College\, Oxford\, taught at primary schools in Oxford and Leicester\, before returning to teacher education in Cambridge at Homerton College. \nA recent collaborative book with Catherine Burke and Lottie Hoare is: \nEducation through the Arts for Well-Being and Community: \nThe Vision and Legacy of Sir Alec Clegg \nwith contributions by Clegg’s nephew Sir David Attenborough\, \nand the late Sir Tim Brighouse\, inspirational educationist\, to whom I owe much. \n\n\nBook now: \nLeah Manning’s Legacy: Cambridge\, Women’s Rights\, and Spanish Refugees Tickets\, Thu\, Dec 5\, 2024 at 1:00 PM | Eventbrite \n  \nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge \nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.
