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.

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: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. Visitors with additional needs are welcome to bring a supporter or carer who will be admitted to the event free of charge. \nGetting Here \nWe are in the centre of Cambridge. You’ll find us at the corner of Castle Street and Northampton Street. We are right beside Kettle’s Yard and only a 15-minute walk from King’s College. \nYou can park your bike at the bike parks on Bridge Street or on Northampton Street.

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. 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/Jobseekers).
