    2021 Celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.visitbradford.com/iwd March 2021 Celebrations across Bradford District #ChooseToChallenge Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge. All of us in society have a right to challenge attitudes, behaviours, prejudices and with that challenge comes change and making a difference for a more equal and fairer future for girls and women across the district. Over the last year we have all been working very differently as we have faced the many challenges this global pandemic has thrown at us. Every one of us has had to make some real lifestyle changes from not seeing family and friends face to face, working from home on a full time basis, home schooling to ensuring we stay fit and healthy. So this year we want to celebrate International Women’s Day in how women have stepped up to the challenge and have had to adapt in the roles they hold from senior management to those on the front line or to those who have had to juggle home working and home schooling to achieve the best outcomes for all. As women we should feel proud of what we have accomplished over the year. Bradford has such a rich and vibrant history of the many women who have inspired us all by breaking all boundaries through challenging traditional ideas which have helped to pave the way so that we too can make a difference in society.

  • Bradford's International Women's Day Programme
    2019 Celebrations across BRADFORD DISTRICT Come and enjoy a fantastic programme of inspirational talks, entertainment and activities taking place across the district celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.bradford.gov.uk/iwd #BalanceforBetter Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women in every sphere. Our programme in Bradford spans two weeks and celebrates some fantastic women from past and present – from Manningham’s pioneering women of the 19th century through to those who fought for women’s rights in the 20th century, to successful modern-day women such as a Paralympic cyclist and others in the worlds of business, sport, the media and beyond. Across the Bradford District we have terrific success stories of local women achieving great things. We have rising female employment and a surge in women entrepreneurs contributing to our vibrant culture and growing economy. But while we see many remarkable women in our own circles and in the public eye, it’s also a time to remember there are still staggering inequalities in this country and of course around the globe. This year’s programme tackles these serious issues while celebrating new opportunities and offering creativity, culture and community. It’s great to see so many hands-on activities this year and I urge you to get involved whatever your age or background. This year’s theme of #balanceforbetter calls for a more gender-balanced world. Whether it’s in the workplace, the home or in any other sphere, it’s not just a moral imperative for women to be able to contribute fully and fulfil their potential – it’s a common-sense one.

  • Knowing Bradford This Pack Has Been Developed to Support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ Project
    Activity Pack – Knowing Bradford This pack has been developed to support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ project. It will help students to explore the history of Bradford places and people. Introduction The script of people and places in Bradford merely scratches the surface of the city’s past and locations important to its history and heritage. There is a lot more that students could explore. The ideas presented here are examples of follow-up activities that will reinforce learning, understanding, awareness, and develop research, literacy, oracy and presentation skills. They can be mixed and matched depending on student levels. They have been divided into subject areas, although most are related to more than one curriculum area, e.g.: historical research includes reading and concentration skills, and may lead to writing, art, design activities, etc. Maths is also integral to many of the activities. Each scene could be performed individually by students to recap knowledge before choosing follow-up activities related to those scenes. This Activity Pack relates to the Teaching Activity - Knowing Bradford: How can buildings tell a story?

  • 'Our Street Gallery' Launched with Powerful Photographs Captured by Bradford Teens During Lockdown
    MEDIA INFORMATION FINAL Friday Jul 17, 2020 at 09:05 AM 'Our Street Gallery' launched with powerful photographs captured by Bradford teens during lockdown A powerful photography project depicting the experiences of Bradford teenagers during lockdown has launched ‘Our Street Gallery’; a new 12-month district-wide cultural project which is transforming the city’s streets into a canvas of images capturing moments and feelings of the people of the Bradford district. More than 50 stunning photographs taken by 13 – 18-year olds in isolation for the ‘Through Our Lens’ project – led by award-winning photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn – will illustrate billboards, sides of houses, pavements, lamp posts, windows and school railings across Bradford, Ilkley, Keighley and Shipley, ‘Through Our Lens’ is the first ‘episode’ of the street gallery project, with further episodes curated by the street gallery steering group over the next year. The street gallery will bring to life the incredible work created thanks to Bradford Council’s ‘RESPONSE’ grants, which launched in April to help the arts sector survive and thrive in the face of national Covid-19 lockdown measures and beyond. Shipley-based photographer Carolyn came up with idea for the original ‘Through Our Lens’ project at the beginning of lockdown, when nearly all her upcoming work was abruptly cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic, including an exhibition at Bradford’s Impressions Gallery. Having secured RESPONSE funding, and following an initial call out on social media and collaboration with Bradford College, Carolyn has now mentored more than 40 young people across the Bradford district in photography using a video platform and running online workshop sessions every week, with the resulting images posted on the project’s Instagram page (@through_our_lens_covid19_proj/).

Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century.

    PRESS RELEASE 30 November 2017 Jerwood/Photoworks Awards: new work by Alejandra Carles-Tolra, Sam Laughlin and Lua Ribeira Jerwood Space, London 17 January - 11 March 2018 touring to Bradford and Belfast © Alejandra Carles-Tolra © Sam Laughlin © Lua Ribeira see note to editors for image credits Jerwood/Photoworks Awards: new work by Alejandra Carles-Tolra, Sam Laughlin and Lua Ribeira Jerwood Space, London 17 January - 11 March 2018 Touring to Bradford and Belfast New work by Alejandra Carles-Tolra, Sam Laughlin and Lua Ribeira shows at Jerwood Space, London in the second Jerwood/Photoworks Awards exhibition 17 January - 11 March 2018. The exhibition explores themes of such as death, belonging and the fragility of the natural world. Following its London premiere, the show will tour across the UK to venues including Impressions Gallery, Bradford and Belfast Exposed. Spectrum Photographic is the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards official print partner. Alejandra Carles-Tolra is interested in the relationship between individual and group identity and how one identity influences the other. In Where We Belong she explores themes of belonging, femininity and escapism by following a group of Jane Austen devotees. Sam Laughlin’s series A Certain Movement is a meditation on the state of the natural world and our place within it. His work focuses on patterns of animal behaviour and intricate natural processes occurring all around us. Close observations of various species and the signs suggesting their presence in the landscape, allow us to enter intimate and fragile spaces, increasingly marginalised by human activities. Lua Ribeira’s constructed series Subida al Cielo (heavenly ascent) is a personal visualisation, built on the fear of dying.

Through close visual analyses of photojournalist, press, and social documentary photographs, this Ph.D examines the visual responses to the Government’s advocation of a ‘healthy’ society and its programme of social and economic ‘waste-saving’. Drawing Imogen Tyler’s interpretation of ‘social abjection’ (the discursive mediation of subjects through exclusionary modes of ‘revolting aesthetics’) into the visual field, this Ph.D explores photography’s implication in bolstering the abject and exclusionary discourses of the era. Exploring the contexts in which photographs were created, utilised and disseminated to visually convey ‘waste’ as an expression of social abjection, this Ph.D exposes how the Right’s successful establishment of a neoliberal political economy was supported by an accelerated use and deployment of revolting photographic aesthetics.
