This talk is part of Critical Co-Labs, a series of conversations with our curators and special guests exploring the big issues of today through new perspectives on our collection.
Habda Rashid, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, leads a dynamic discussion exploring these fresh perspectives alongside Elenor Ling, our Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings and Henrietta Ward, Curator of Northern European Paintings and Drawings.
For this exhibition Kettle's Yard invites children and young people in Cambridge to create artworks about what matters to them today, in any artistic style or medium, from local to global issues; from their home to our shared planet; from love for families, friends and communities to concern for nature, animals and the environment.
A selection of artworks created by Kettle’s Yard’s partner schools and community groups will also be on display.
The Whipple Museum of the History of Science is home to a vast array of scientific instruments used to understand the world around us, dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. We'll be taking some of these objects out of their cases for hands-on exploration and discussion.
You are welcome to stay and explore the Museum after the tour if you would like to.
Saturday 16 November, 10am - 4pm. Free, drop-in
November’s Saturday opening is all about maps, as we host the University’s Dr Sara Caputo for a very special exploration in partnership with the Being Human Festival. Explore the fascinating history of a device we often take for granted, and discover new ways of visualizing our place in the world.
What’s on?
Why buy new clothes when old clothes can look at good as new? Come along to our sustainable clothes & textiles event, where we will have expert craft people on hand to share their textiles skills. You'll be able to convert old t-shirts into something new, re-style your current garments plus learn how to repair and mend your favourite items. We are delighted to be working with fashion students from The Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts - who will be on hand with all your styling tips!
