  • Horniman Museum to Reopen from Thursday 30 July
    For immediate release Issued Wednesday 8 July 2020 Horniman Museum to reopen from Thursday 30 July The Horniman will reopen its doors to the public from Thursday 30 July, for the first time since mid- March. Visitors (including Members) will need to pre-book for a free, timed entry slot, via the website horniman.ac.uk. As well as the popular galleries of natural history, world cultures and musical instruments, the Permian Monsters exhibition will also reopen on 30 July, with ticket prices from £5, and an extended run until 3 January 2021. However, some attractions will remain closed initially, including the Aquarium and Butterfly House, and some interactive exhibits have been removed or covered up. Social distancing and other safety measures will be in place throughout the Museum, including hand sanitisation stations, an enhanced cleaning regime, updated signage and a one-way visitor route. During the Museum’s 134-day closure, the Horniman’s Gardens have remained open, giving local residents much-needed green space for their daily exercise during the Coronavirus lockdown. The Horniman has gradually reopened additional facilities including toilets and Café Kiosks in the Gardens, and the Sunday Market. The main Café will reopen at the same time as the Museum with specific safety measures in place. Nick Merriman, Chief Executive of the Horniman Museum and Gardens, says: ‘We’ve heard from many of our visitors how much they’ve missed the Museum. We are immensely grateful for their support during closure and look forward to welcoming them back. Our priority as we return is to increase the diversity of our visitors, address our colonial history and accelerate work on the climate and ecological emergency.’ Pre-booked tickets will be available on the website from Monday 20 July.

The Collective members collaborating on the exhibition are: Ahmadzia, a volunteer at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) and a kite maker, who came to the UK in 2006 from Kunduz, Afghanistan, and is a refugee Carola Cappellari, a photojournalism and documentary photography student who volunteered her skills to produce promotional material for the Indoamerican Refugee and Migrant Organisation, a community-led organisation supporting Latin Americans to build secure and integrated lives in the UK Francis Stanfield, a multi-tasker when it comes to music who describes himself as ‘the original stuporman’.

  • UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration Since
    H-Early-America UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration since C18 Discussion published by John Daniel Saillant on Monday, August 25, 2014 Aaron Mulvany Monday, August 25, 2014 H-Asia DEADLINE: 5 September 2014 The Art Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund have generously funded a series of seminars (‘Travellers’ Tails’) at the National Maritime Museum and partner museums around the UK to investigate the histories, practices and interpretation of art, science and exploration from the Enlightenment to the present day. The seminars will bring together scholars, artists, scientists, explorers, members of the public and museum professionals to examine the changing nature, impact and legacies of European exploration since the mid-18th century. The seminars will focus on today’s audiences and discuss the display and interpretation of the material culture of exploration within gallery, heritage and museum environments. Seminars will interrogate the relevance of the subject and issues surrounding its presentation in a post-imperial world. George Stubbs’ iconic paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum, will provide a starting point for wider-ranging papers and discussion within a multi-disciplinary environment. Proposals of no longer than 250 words, for presentations of 20 minutes, should be sent to [email protected] by no later than Friday, 5 September 2014. We welcome submissions for papers and less-formal presentations from academics, curators, artists and other specialists in the fields. Proposals from

I am aware of the University’s Guidance on the Use of Unfair Means (www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/unfair-means). This work has not previously been presented for an award at this, or any other, university. 2 Lee Marsden. Supervisors: Matthias Benzer, Lorna Warren “If public attitudes are informed by inaccurate, ideological and stigmatising representations of the poor, then policies preferred by the public (and political elites) are unlikely to seek to tackle the structural causes of inequality [...] In essence, this works to ensure that the working / underclass are positioned in a top-down society created for them, and they are expected to involve themselves in that society under those prearranged social constructs” (Power, 2011 p3). “For a long time the quarry was full of snowdrifts and nothing could be done. Some progress was made in the dry frosty weather that followed, but it was cruel work, and the animals could not feel so hopeful about it as they had felt before. They were always cold, and usually hungry as well. Only Boxer and Clover never lost heart. Squealer made excellent speeches on the joy of service and the dignity of labour, but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer's strength and his never-failing cry of "I will work harder!” (George Orwell: Animal farm, 1945 p80) 3 Lee Marsden.
