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:Rhythms of the Rainbow: How LGBTQIA+ people have innovated western music
DESCRIPTION:Join Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews with a discussion on how LGBTQIA+ people have been the hidden innovators of western music. \n\n\nThis talk will look at how LGBTQIA+ people have been hidden by historians of music despite making significant contributions as innovators\, performers and lyricists. Starting in the Middle Ages\, it brings us through to recent decades\, where musicians are increasingly open about their identities. \nAbout the Speaker \nKeith Fitzpatrick-Matthews grew up with a love of music and archaeology\, and knew as a child that he was not like other boys. As a gay teenager in the 1970s\, life was not always easy\, but working as a DJ in the early 1980s made coming out a breeze. He began investigating archaeological correlates of sexuality during the 1990s\, an interest which has broadened into historical and anthropological research. This talk combines two of his loves. \nKeith is the Museum Curator and Heritage Access Officer at the North Hertfordshire Museum. He manages and develops the museum’s collections to accreditation standards\, oversees archaeological deposits\, delivers outreach programs\, manages the Local Studies Centre\, and handles object identification enquiries. \nTo find out more about the North Hertfordshire Museum\, please visit https://www.northhertsmuseum.org. \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. We kindly suggest a donation of £7\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £6 for Adults\, £4.50 for Students/Low Income).
