Her incredible intellect, voracious curiosity, outstanding ability for drawing together disparate strands, and unceasing drive to learn more and know more have been an inspiring example over the past four years. This thesis owes much of its existence to her and her comments, recommendations, edits, and support. Thank you also to Ellen Wurtzel for guiding me through my first large-scale research paper in my third year at Oberlin, and for encouraging me to pursue honors. Shelley Lee has been an invaluable resource and advisor in the daunting process of putting together a fifty-some page research paper, while my fellow History honors candidates have been supportive, helpful in their advice, and great to commiserate with. Thank you to Steven Plank and everyone else who has listened to me discuss Britten and the Aldeburgh Festival and kindly offered suggestions.

  • 8. Festival Guide
    8. Festival Guide Dr Harriet Atkinson is a leading historian of design and culture based at the University of Brighton. She is one of the foremost experts on the Festival of Britain. In this response she brings her extraordinary knowledge of this event to bear on a commonplace piece of Festival ephemera. In doing so she reveals powerful themes of patriotism, land, refugees, and a whole series of intersections between design and identity that feel as relevant today as they did seven decades ago. Ian Cox, The South Bank Exhibition: A Guide to the Story It Tells (London: HMSO, 1951) As memories of a day out at the Festival of Britain’s South Bank Exhibition faded, the guidebook was often the only thing that remained. A substantial, handsome book printed on luxuriously thick paper, it bore designer Abram Games’s Festival of Britain emblem, Britannia in profile, on the front cover. She was festooned with bunting and mounted on the four points of the compass indicating the nationwide reach of the events, all in the patriotic colours of the Union Jack. Cover of the Exhibition Guide featuring the Abram Games festival logo (MERL Library 1770-COX) What was this ‘magical city’, as one designer described the Festival’s London centrepiece, the South Bank Exhibition held from May to September 1951, this temporary world that so enchanted and amazed its visitors? And what kind of Britain do we encounter as we turn the Guide’s mustard cover seventy years on? 1 While advertising was banned at the South Bank Exhibition itself, here, in the Guide, was the chance to sell things to the Festival’s many visitors.

  • Jacquetta Hawkes, a Land (London: Cresset Press, 1951)
    13. A Land In this piece, the brilliant Dr Amara Thornton shares her reflections on the 1951 work of trowel blazer Jacquetta Hawkes, who played a major role in presenting prehistory and landscape at the Festival of Britain. In doing so, Amara recontextualises an archaeological narrative—A Land—and reveals it as part of a Britain actively reshaped by post-war change. Jacquetta Hawkes, A Land (London: Cresset Press, 1951) Frontispiece and title page of Hawkes’ A Land, featuring a sketch by Henry Moore (MERL Library 1840-HAW) Jacquetta Hawkes’ Festival Lands Published a month after the opening of the Festival of Britain, Jacquetta Hawkes' book A Land (1951) has been said to compliment her work as "Theme Convenor" for the Festival's People of Britain pavilion. Her exploration of British archaeology and geography was writ large through the physical display, the introductory section to the Festival's "Downstream Circuit". This part of the Festival defined 'Britain' through the artefacts in its landscape, its attitudes, literature, society, culture, sport, and technological innovations. Hawkes' book, and her pavilion, were focused on the deep history of the British Isles, emerging from the landscape through the painstaking process of excavation and interpretation. She is now primarily remembered for her engagement with and ruminations on Britain and its archaeology. This included a BBC Radio series in 1935 entitled "Ancient Britain Out of Doors", subsequently published in The Listener, and her books Prehistoric Britain (1943, co-authored with husband Christopher Hawkes) and Early Britain (1945) before the publication of A Land (followed later in 1951 by her Guide to the Prehistoric Monuments of England and Wales).

  • BRITISH DESIGN 1948–2012: Exhibition Panel Texts
    BRITISH DESIGN 1948–2012: Innovation in the Modern Age Exhibition Panel Texts Introduction In 1948 London hosted the first Olympic Games after the Second World War. The ‘austerity games’ (as they became known) took place at a time of economic crisis in a city devastated by bombing, but they provided a platform for reconciliation and reconstruction. In 2012 Britain welcomes the Olympics once more, and while the spirit remains, the context in which they are taking place has entirely changed. British Design 1948–2012 traces those changes by exploring buildings, objects, images and ideas produced by designers and artists born, trained or based in Britain. The displays examine the shifting nature of British Design over sixty years: three galleries respectively explore the tension between tradition and modernity; the subversive impulse in British culture; and Britain’s leadership in design innovation and creativity. The exhibition reveals how British designers have responded to economic, political and cultural forces that have fundamentally shaped how we live today. They have created some of the most inventive and striking objects, technologies and buildings of the modern world. Tradition and Modernity The impact of the Second World War on the social, economic and physical fabric of Britain was immense. The task of reconstruction dominated the post-war years. In 1945 a Labour government swept to power, and its radical plan for a comprehensive Welfare State would be broadly supported by all governments for the next 30 years. The drive for modernity in the rebuilding of Britain changed the nation forever. But a preoccupation with British traditions was often just below the surface.

This North-South encounter is less-documented than the trans-Atlantic and inter-African cultural exchanges in this period which dominate existing scholarship on pan-African festivals and Black internationalism.
