Kemp-Welch has been inspired by Cambridge pioneering company Pye Electronics, their history and remaining impact on the local community as well as Kettle’s Yard’s founder, Jim Ede’s own experiences of public broadcasting in the UK and USA.
This informal afternoon is an opportunity to use our exhibitions of women artists to explore motherhood both behind the work, as part of women artists practise and the subject of the work itself.
Accompanying children welcome.
FREE, booking required
Supported by MothersWhoMake.

Inspired by Jim Ede’s friendships, and the relationships that formed the Kettle’s Yard collection, Hamilton has invited other artists to contribute to the new display. Most of these, including Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, Nicholas Byrne and Roger Phillips were also involved in the Hepworth Wakefield exhibition. Maria Zahle is a new addition to the collaboration.
"On first glance, it seems as if nothing is going on, but you should be able to notice subtle changes in light as clouds pass in front of the sun, animals, people, aeroplanes and boats moving in and out of the frame, and changes in the wind and wave patterns."

The meeting is an opportunity to share local LGBTQI+ knowledge, histories and connections. It is a chance for interested locals to help plan a queer walking route in and around Cambridge to happen in spring 2019 and to suggest formats for a post-walk social event.
Kettle’s Yard has been selected by Ian Giles and Open Ramble East as a site with queer heritage.
This event is free, all LGBTQI+ people, friends and families are welcome. Booking is recommended
Refreshments provided
Over the past year, Hannah Kempt-Welch, 2018 Open House artist-in-residence, has been working with groups in North Cambridge to create a new sound work which is shared with you in Hyperlocal Radio.
