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: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.
