SUMMARY:Exhibition: "Educating Cambridge"
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Cambridge opens a new exhibition “Educating Cambridge” exploring Cambridge education in ragged schools\, workhouses\, and Victorian classrooms\, looking at stories of gender roles\, poverty and activism.  \n“Educating Cambridge” is a temporary exhibition that examines the intersections of class and education in Victorian Cambridge. Visitors are invited to see how approaches and access to learning differ across socio-economic backgrounds and gender.  \nThe exhibit provides the opportunity to see a selection of never-before-seen artwork\, diary entries\, photography\, and needlework which show gender roles\, poverty\, and activism in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire education systems.  \nTelling the story of Leah Manning and her work and activism as a woman who taught and campaigned for children’s learning and wellbeing the exhibition is excited to host a banner celebrating Cambridge women who campaigned for children’s health and wellbeing by Carey Bennet. The exhibition highlights how education has varied across social classes and genders and introduces some of the people and communities in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire that pulled together to provide basic education for those in need.  \nThe Museum holds a collection which stretches from the late 1600s through to the 20th century and this latest exhibition is part of the Museum’s ongoing efforts to celebrate the social history of Cambridgeshire.    \n“Educating Cambridge” will open on Thursday\, 24th of October\, and remain on display until Monday\, 21st of April 2025.

SUMMARY:Temporary Exhibition: Cam (Short Film)
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Cambridge is delighted to host CAM\, a short film on the alternate view of one of the world’s most academic and prestigious cities. \nCaptured throughout 2023\, the 4-minute film features black and white still images against an original score. Filmmakers Ryan Cooper Henniker (Being Both\, 2019) and Matthew Ward (Stranger\, 2024) set out to showcase a side of Cambridge that is seldom celebrated and mostly hidden from an external gaze. \nRyan\, director and photographer\, notes: “Cambridge is an internationally revered centre of academic and scientific excellence\, an image that is continuously projected by media and City officials\, but that’s only half the story: the city is so much more\, and diverse in every sense of the word with a rich local history. Cam attempts to archive it before development and unaffordability turns Cambridge into something else.” \nEvery sound was recorded in person by Matthew\, and the film’s sound design incorporates around 100 local voices alongside cars\, mopeds\, buses\, construction work\, bicycle bells\, gentle sounds of the river Cam and its wildlife\, and even someone vaping. Designed to imitate an immersive walk through the streets of Cambridge in 2024\, it shows how every voice has a different rhythm and pitch\, that changes in many ways depending on our emotions and environment. \nInterview subjects consist of a wide range of residents from community group founders\, staff at Milton Recycling Centre and local influencer and mental health advocate The Barefoot Guy. Participants’ stories highlight deep-rooted rituals and connections to the city and its former life as a collection of villages with their own customs. The stories of local families and views juxtapose with the increasingly transient nature of the city. \nCam features one interview with a resident speaking in the now rare Cambridge accent\, a dialect dying out as new citizens move in\, and long-time communities disperse. \nThe images were shot across hundreds of hours of walking the streets and connecting with locals\, mixed with unexpected and unstaged moments\, captured from afar. \n  \nThe temporary exhibition Cam opens on Monday 3rd of February and will be on display until early April.  Standard admissions rates apply. Entry is £7 with a donation\, £6 as standard and free for 16 years and under.  \nAccessibility \nYou can read about our accessibility information on our website here Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge. If you’d like to chat through any accessibility requirements\, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 01223 355159 or email enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk.

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.
