SUMMARY:PERIPHERY: Ian Rawlinson speaks with The Museum of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Event details: \nAs an artist Ian Rawlinson’s work has taken him around the UK\, the world and back to his hometown of Cambridge. His recent artwork and filmmaking have seen him re-engage with his past\, shedding new light on transitional places that remained hidden in his psyche for many years. He will talk about the process of making this work and why unearthing places and memories from his childhood have formed a powerful confluence with his present day experiences of working in Cambridge\, drawing him back to the city he left as a teenager. \nAbout Ian: \nBorn in Cambridge\, Ian Rawlinson grew up in the city during the 1960s and 1970s. He studied art at Cambridge College of Art & Technology (now Anglia Ruskin University) and left Cambridge in 1982 to further his studies at Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art. Since 1985 he has lived and worked in London. He has also travelled and worked in Europe\, the USA and Mexico. To date his work has been shown in many group and solo exhibitions\, both in the UK and internationally and is held in public and private collections. \nIn 2011 a revelatory moment caused Rawlinson to reconsider his relationship with the past and he decided to make a short film using images of his childhood home in Arbury and King’s Hedges to explore ideas of place and memory. Whilst researching this project he came across some evocative images of the old Kite (pre-Grafton Centre) and decided to make a film and series of work about the loss of this area. This work formed the exhibition ‘Vessel’\, shown at Williams Art in Cambridge in 2014. ‘Trace‘\, a second exhibition and film about his past connections with North Barnwell took place at the Leper Chapel in 2015. There followed a series of solo exhibitions at the newly opened Edge Café on Mill Road. ‘No Man’s Land‘\, inspired by memories of Mill Road took place in 2017. ‘Frontier‘ included his work about Arbury and King’s Hedges along with his third film\, in 2018. Further exhibitions ‘Liminal‘ and ‘Absence‘ took place in 2019 and 2020 respectively. His most recent exhibition\, ‘Marginal‘\, took place in September 2021 and featured Rawlinson’s work along with text by writer Grahame Davies. \nIan’s work: \nVisit Ian’s website for more about his work. \nAbout the event: \nThis talk is part of the Museum’s ‘Cambridge Talks’ series. All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to book: \nTickets are by donation. To book onto this event please visit our Eventbrite page and follow the prompts. \n  \nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:ReStorying OUR Museum: Exploring the Museum of Cambridge's Colonial Legacy
DESCRIPTION:ReStorying OUR Museum was a pilot project that the Museum of Cambridge ran earlier this year to explore the colonial legacy of its collection. The museum worked closely with volunteers and other members of the local community to examine the Tobacconist Sign: a conflictive object that was not appropriately interpreted to tell the full story behind it. \nIn this talk Florencia Nannetti\, Community and Visitor Engagement Officer at the museum\, and Kirsten Huffer\, one of the volunteers who is a recent MPhil in Heritage Studies graduate from the Cambridge University Department of Archaeology\, will share their experience of carrying out a project like this\, what the challenges and the results were\, and what it means in a local and global context. This will be followed by a brief Q&A session for attendees to ask their queries. \nThis talk is suitable for anyone who wants to learn more about community work in their local museum\, and colonial legacies of the everyday. \nBook your tickets here

SUMMARY:Football and Camp Ball in Cambridge and East Anglia Since the 14th Century
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next in our series of ‘Cambridge Talks’ as we talk all things football with Nigel Fenner \nWhilst most famous for being the birthplace of the modern-day laws of football in the middle of the 19th Century\, Cambridge and East Anglia also boast a long and illustrious association with the game\, including the folk-version\, called Camp Ball across East Anglia – going back to at least the 14th Century. This Zoom presentation follows an imaginary tour though Cambridge starting at St John’s College and finishing on Parker’s Piece\, with reference also to the 200+ Camp Ball sites across East Anglia. \nNigel Fenner won his Football Blue for Cambridge University\, where he trained as a teacher. Related to Frank Fenner\, the local tobacconist who founded Fenner’s Ground\, Nigel’s other ‘Town links’ include living and working locally since 1981\, mostly with disaffected young people. He now runs Cambridge Sports Tours and will be publishing ‘Cambridge Sport: In Fenners’ Hands’ by the end of 2021. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to attend this talk: \nThis talk will be held on Zoom. There is no need to download any software- you can access the talk via your usual internet browser from the comfort of your own home. Cup of tea/glass of wine is optional! \nOnce you have purchased your ticket on Eventbrite\, you are officially signed up to the event and you will receive an automatic confirmation email from Eventbrite. \nOn the day of the event\, we will send you a ‘Zoom Invite’ with joining instructions which explains how to attend the talk. \nIf you have any concerns or questions about attending this event\, please email Annie on annie.davis@museumofcambridge.org.uk.

SUMMARY:The Museum Makers with Rachel Morris
DESCRIPTION:In ‘How to Make a Museum Out of your Own Life’\, Rachel Morris will be talking about their book The Museum Makers: \n“My book\, The Museum Makers\, began when I opened up the boxes of old family mementos under my bed and saw inside them the entire history of my bohemian family.  Despite all the years I had been running a museum-making company (called Metaphor) this was the first time that I realised that just as museums are about making meaningful sense out of the confusion of the world\, so – in what we do with our pasts and how we try to make sense of them – we are all museum-makers.  My book is part history of museums\, part memoir of a wayward and bohemian family\, part manual of how to make a museum out of your own life.  Threaded through it are the themes that fascinate me most\, of time and memory and the stories families tell themselves and others. It includes a chapter on the Museum of Cambridge and the story-finding skills of Enid Porter.” \nDon’t miss out on this exclusive event! \nYou can purchase The Museum Makers online here or here. \nAbout Rachel: \nRachel was one of the founding directors of Metaphor\, a company specialising in museum master – planning and exhibition design.  As part of the Metaphor team\, they worked all over the world\, from Chile to the Hebrides\, and from Singapore to the Grand Egyptian  Museum in Cairo.  Rachel specialised in museum interpretation – how to bring objects alive by the stories we tell about them.  Prior to this they had two novels published – The Fringe Orphan and Ella and the Mothers – both of which were very well reviewed.  Rachel has always loved writing.  The only thing that could have enticed them away from it for twenty years was their equal love for museums.  And one of the things Rachel will say in this talk is that storytelling and museum-making have many things in common. \nFollow Rachel on Twitter \nPlease note that this is an exclusive event for the Friends of the Museum of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:A Great Unrecorded History: Cambridge’s Queer Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next in our series of ‘Cambridge Talks’. \nThe writer E.M. Forster once referred to the history of homosexuality in his time as ‘a great unrecorded history’. This was especially true of Forster’s adopted home of Cambridge\, whose vibrant queer past has often gone unrecorded.  \nDiarmuid Hester’s popular queer audio trail of the city aims to set the record straight (as it were). In this talk\, he discusses his work on the audio trail\, and reveals how LGBTQ+ people have shaped the history of the city and been shaped by it in turn. \nDr Diarmuid Hester is a radical cultural historian\, and an authority on sexually dissident literature\, art\, film\, and performance. He is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 3\, and last year was named a BBC New Generation Thinker. Diarmuid’s new book on sexuality\, culture\, and place will be published by Allen Lane/Penguin in 2023. He teaches at the Faculty of English\, University of Cambridge\, and is a research associate of Emmanuel College\, Cambridge. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to attend this talk: \nThis talk will be held on Zoom. There is no need to download any software- you can access the talk via your usual internet browser from the comfort of your own home.

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:Talk: Growing Up and Getting On in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Three stories of education and everyday life \nWhat was life like for ordinary people who were born in East Anglia and the East Midlands just after the Second World War? How did the expansion of secondary education\, new work opportunities\, and social change affect their aspirations and identities? \nDr Laura Carter will examine the experience of growing up in the region using three local life stories that have been reconstructed from information derived from the 1946 British Birth Cohort — a longitudinal study that has followed more than 5\,000 postwar babies from cradle to old-age. \nAlong the way she will also explore the impact of the 1944 Education Act and the effect that universal secondary education had on ordinary people living and working in rural communities across the eastern counties as they left school\, went to work\, and had children of their own during the 1960s. \nThis is a free event\, but you must book so that we can manage attendance \nDr Laura CarterDr Laura Carter‘s research focuses on education\, everyday life\, and social change in Britain during the twentieth century. Her PhD was an examination of popular British social history from the 1920s to the 1960s\, with a particular focus on the way that ordinary people learnt about history through books\, in schools\, in museums\, and via broadcast radio. She is currently working on her first book\, which is provisionally entitled Histories of Everyday Life: The Making of Popular Social History in Britain\, 1918-1979. \nLaura works as a postdoctoral researcher on Secondary Education and Social Change in the United Kingdom since 1945\, an Economic and Social Research Council-funded project that explores the ways in which the advent of mass\, compulsory education after 1945 affected individual and class identities\, and intersected with other processes of social change in late-twentieth century Britain. \nShe is a Research Fellow of Murray Edwards College\, University of Cambridge

SUMMARY:Talk and Signing: Cambridge Women and the Struggle for the Vote
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Cambridge was at the forefront of the struggles for women’s rights to vote a century ago? \n\nMillicent Fawcett\, the national leader of the non-militant Suffragists and arguably one of the most influential women in Britain during the last 100 years\, was a city resident and founded the Cambridge Women’s Suffrage Association. What’s more\, leading militant Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst spoke at a number of riotous rallies and meetings. \nAuthor Sue Slack has researched the role of Cambridge women in the struggle for voting rights\, from the late 19th century to 1918 Act that granted suffrage to women over the age 30 and on to equal voting rights in 1928. Alongside many familiar names are accounts of many others who fought for rights that we take for granted today. \nJoin us in the Enid Porter Room from 2:00pm – 4:00pm on Saturday 15 September to find out more about the local women who contributed to the Great War and protested against it\, founded local groups for the Women’s Institute and Girl Guides\, led developments in eduction and welfare\, and became the first female MPs\, barristers\, magistrates and surgeons.

SUMMARY:Talk: Send Her Victorious
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge is no stranger to a royal celebration and the sheer scale of some has been remarkable \nWith arrangements for this month’s royal wedding well underway\, valued Friend of the Museum Tamsin Wimhurst takes us back 180 years to the preparations for another major royal event: the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Victoria on 28 June 1838.   \nConscious that this was to be event of a lifetime\, the great and the good of Cambridge conceived of a celebration that would involve more than 20\,000 townspeople. They had ambition\, they had enthusiasm and they knew how to plan and organise. All they had to do was to unveil their spectacular scheme and keep their fingers crossed that the unpredictable English weather would be kind to them. \nSend Her Victorious compliments our current exhibition A Loyal Toast. \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Talk: Safeguards Against Witchcraft - Local Protective Practices
DESCRIPTION:Expanding the narrative of our current exhibition Safeguards Against Witchcraft\, this session will explore more stories of the protective practices used by the people of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire \nWitches\, warlocks and magic were once a part of everyday life\, provoking fear and trepidation throughout the late Medieval and Early Modern periods.  \nSo great was the perceived threat that practising witchcraft became a capital offence in Great Britain during the sixteenth century. Suspicion gripped the people of East Anglia and witch-hunts and the brutal trials of local women\, as well as their families\, became commonplace. \nAlice Samuel\, a resident of the village of Warboys\, became national news when Lady Cromwell fell ill and subsequently died after meeting her\, confirming the locals’ suspicions of witchcraft. Alice and her family were taken to trial and hanged in Huntingdon. \nWhile the violence arising from the witch mania that consumed the country is well known\, the steps taken by individuals to protect their homes\, their kin and themselves are often overlooked. There was so much that could be done to stop a witch from causing harm and all that was needed was a single\, worn shoe… \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum on Monday 19 March to learn more \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association
