News Update for London's Museums
@LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 09 November 2020 The 4 week long national lockdown began on Thursday 05 November, meaning museums and galleries should now be closed in line with government guidance until at least Wednesday 02 December. It has been announced that some heritage locations can still be visited if they are outside – provided current social distancing rules are observed. You can find further information about that on the Gov.uk website. You can get an overview of all of the new national restrictions on the gov.uk website. We strongly advise that you continue to follow the news and government announcements, as they happen, over the coming days and weeks. Last week the government announced further extensions to the furlough scheme, to March 2021. The government will extend furlough payments at the original 80%, up to a maximum of £2,500 per employee. Employers will only need to cover pension and National Insurance contributions during the month of November, but can top up the remaining 20% of their staff salaries if they wish. To be eligible for this extension, employees must have been on the payroll by 30 October 2020, but they do not need to have been furloughed before that date. Workers who were made redundant in advance of the planned end of the furlough scheme on 31 October can be rehired under the current furlough extension. The relevant section is 2.4 in the policy paper which can be found here. The government has also announced that businesses required to close in England due to local or national restrictions will be eligible for Business Grants of up to £3,000 per month, dependent on their rateable value.

NICOLA GREEN Biography
www.facebook.com/nicolagreenstudio NICOLA GREEN @nicolagreenart @NicolaGreenArt Biography [email protected] +44 20 7263 6266 nicolagreen.com Nicola Green is a critically acclaimed artist and social historian. Green has established an international reputation for her ambitious projects that can change perceptions about identity and power; exploring themes of race, spirituality, religion, gender, and leadership. Green has gained unprecedented access to iconic figures from the worlds of religion, politics, and culture, including collaborations with Pope Francis, President Obama, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dalai Lama. Driven by her belief in the power of the visual image to communicate important human stories, Nicola Green chooses to assume the role of ‘witness’ to momentous occasions taking place across the globe. Inspired by her own mixed-heritage children and multi-faith family, she creates and preserves religious, social, and cultural heritage for future generations. Recording these events as they happen, and investing many hours of academic and artistic research, Green builds and curates substantial archives. In 2015, Nicola Green, with ICF, co-founded the Phase I Diaspora Platform Programme, which would take emerging ethnic minority UK-based artists and curators to the 56th Venice Biennale to witness curator Okwui Enwezor ‘All The World’s Futures’ Biennale intervention, where he critically examined its entanglement with race, politics and power. Following these successes, Nicola Green co-founded and directed the Diaspora Pavilion, an exhibition at the 57th Venice Biennale, showcasing 22 artists from ethnic minority backgrounds, whose work dealt with the topic of Diaspora. The Diaspora Pavilion was created in an effort to highlight and address the lack of diversity in the arts sectors and was ac- companied by a 22-month long mentorship-based programme.

Weekend Wonder: Green Fingers (Part 1) Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2020
Weekend Wonder: Green Fingers (part 1) Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2020 Welcome to Weekend Wonder: Green Fingers (part 1) – sharing our heritage from Bruce Castle Museum & Archive. This Bank Holiday Weekend might be a chance to flex those green fingers for everyone who has access to a green space or window box. With garden centres being able to open now and this week there is virtual access to one of the world’s greatest flower shows at Chelsea, we thought it is a good time to look at the blooming green spaces in our borough. We will be looking through our collections and showcasing our own back gardens here in Haringey. Haringey is quite blessed with its green spaces of parks, gardens, nature reserves, woodland and school and community gardens. Each year we enjoy Haringey in Bloom, the National Garden Scheme and flower and vegetable shows, amongst other things. It also has a long horticultural heritage of market gardening and specialist plant growing, which we will come back to in later posts. But here are some stories, paintings and photographs to inspire and motivate – whether you have your own back garden, an allotment, a balcony, windowsill, flowerpot or pot plant, let’s get creative with our green fingers. From the collections and © Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey Archive and Museum Service) Some of you might recall our exhibition at Bruce Castle back in 2009 called ‘Our Back Yard’, where we brought together the Museum’s collection of paintings depicting back gardens and displayed them alongside artwork borrowed by local artists.

Robert Adam's Engagement with Medieval Architecture
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository A ‘Classical Goth’: Robert Adam’s engagement with medieval architecture PETER N. LINDFIELD Robert Adam’s Grand Tour in 1754–8 had a profound impact upon his understanding of the forms and ornament of Classical architecture. This became manifest after his return to Britain in his country house designs, as, for example, in the south façade of Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire (from c 1760).1 Beyond this elevation’s dynamic advancement and recession of planes, the architecture paraphrases two notable monuments of ancient Rome: the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon. Kedleston’s interior, including its celebrated Saloon, was equally responsive to antique forms, and the tour’s impact upon Adam in the shaping of his eponymous neoclassical style is explored elsewhere in this volume. The vast majority of Adam’s country house architecture – from the remodelling of existing homes like Osterley Park, Middlesex (1763–80), through to the creation of new structures such as Witham Park, Somerset (1762–70) – was neoclassical.2 Indeed, of his realised work, only three of his 89 known country estate commissions were overtly Gothic, and all were south of the border: the interior of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Croome d’Abitot, at Croome Court, Worcestershire (1763); the Round Room at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham (1766–7); and his work for the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick – namely the interiors for Alnwick Castle (c 1770–80) and its associated Gothic eye-catcher, Brizlee Tower, Hulne Park (1777–83).

Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain
Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain How do children cope when their world is transformed by war? This book draws on memory narratives to construct an historical anthropology of childhood in Second World Britain, focusing on objects and spaces such as gas masks, air raid shelters and bombed-out buildings. In their struggles to cope with the fears and upheavals of wartime, with families divided and familiar landscapes lost or transformed, children reimagined and reshaped these material traces of conflict into toys, treasures and playgrounds. This study of the material worlds of wartime childhood offers a unique viewpoint into an extraordinary period in history with powerful resonances across global conflicts into the present day. Gabriel Moshenska is Associate Professor in Public Archaeology at University College London, UK. Material Culture and Modern Conflict Series editors: Nicholas J. Saunders, University of Bristol, Paul Cornish, Imperial War Museum, London Modern warfare is a unique cultural phenomenon. While many conflicts in history have produced dramatic shifts in human behaviour, the industrialized nature of modern war possesses a material and psychological intensity that embodies the extremes of our behaviours, from the total economic mobiliza- tion of a nation state to the unbearable pain of individual loss. Fundamen- tally, war is the transformation of matter through the agency of destruction, and the character of modern technological warfare is such that it simulta- neously creates and destroys more than any previous kind of conflict. The material culture of modern wars can be small (a bullet, machine-gun or gas mask), intermediate (a tank, aeroplane, or war memorial), and large (a battleship, a museum, or an entire contested landscape).
