Online talk Richard Hoare's exhibition 'Landscapes' and his debut solo show at Messums Yorkshire.
Saturday 2 October 10.00 to 12.00pm
A new body of work by Richard Hoare was brought together by his travels over the last two years; the 1237 of the title referring to the line of site mileage between joining his home and his chosen painting locations from Dorset to Sussex, Cumbria, Scotland, Ireland and Derbyshire. Richard said ‘The main characteristic of my state when painting is an all pervading sense of movement; a constant turning of all in front of me and the movement of the clouds and arcing of the sun are just the surface of this movement which is without limit.’
Join us for ‘Black & British With David Olusoga’.

Black British history is now widely recognised as an integral part of British history and Black History Month has become a huge national event. The University of Bedfordshire is proud to host David Olusoga as he reveals the absence of Black history and Black role models in Britain’s education and explores how Black Britons stamped their presence and their experiences onto the British national story over the past 50 years.

Charles Dickens in Manchester
8th October at 2.00pm
Britain’s most celebrated novelist came to the growing industrial metropolis of Manchester 19 times, taking the platform at a fund-raiser in October 1843 for the Athenaeum alongside such reformers and notables as Benjamin Disraeli and Richard Cobden; partying with his pal and fellow novelist Harrison Ainsworth; and visiting his sister in then desirable Ardwick. In this talk, we visit the haunts of those he met and knew, stop by at the locations he might just recognise today and drop into the elegant Portico Library where the catalogue in the 1840s was organised by his friend James Crossley.

Join the NWHM on Sunday, for a special guest curator-led virtual walkthrough of our newly published Feminism: The Third Wave exhibit.
October 10th at 8.00 to 9.00 pm BST
It is almost impossible to talk with any clarity about the third wave of feminism because few people agree on exactly what the third wave is, when it started, or if it’s still going on. Considering the consequential events and reconsiderations of the gender norms that prompted yet another reckoning of women’s roles and culture in society, this exhibit explores the “third wave” as a diffuse movement without a central goal through the lens of the Anita Hill case in 1991 and the emergence of the riot grrrl groups in the music scene of the early 1990s.

Hidden Histories in the V&A collection
Free online event 12th October
We are living in an era defined by the legacies of industrialism, colonialism, and environmental breakdown, in which human activity has become the dominant force shaping our planet. Join V&A Reading Group co-founder and postgraduate researcher Flora Parkin on this tour of the V&A Collection, sharing untold stories about the museum’s historical role in today's profound crises. From objects controlling nature, to those reflecting extraction and empire, to the removal of human narratives from their entanglement with ecology, find out how the V&A is not just a museum of art, design and performance, but a museum of the Anthropocene.
Thank you all for listening and many best wishes!
