SUMMARY:PUBLIC LECTURE: Laurence Housman and the Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Housmans’ namesake and his efforts to fight for women’s suffrage. This free talk is in collaboration UCL\, who hold the Laurence Housman archive. Personal items of Housman’s taken from the archive will be on display. \nThis public lecture will explore Housmans Bookshop namesake Laurence Housman (1865-1958) and his active role in the women’s suffrage movement. It will shed new light on UCL’s Laurence Housman Collection by discussing how Housman’s sociopolitical values emerged during the Victorian period as he developed an artistic practice as an Aesthetic and Decadent illustrator. Housman was also a writer who would go on to contribute to Votes for Women (1908-18)\, a suffrage newspaper edited by Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence. He would later collaborate with his sister\, the engraver Clemence Housman\, to found the Suffrage Atelier\, an artists’ collective. Using illustration as a form of social and political resistance\, Housman designed An Anti-Suffrage Alphabet (1911)\, a work that featured many women artists who would go on to forge professional careers\, including Pamela Colman Smith. \nDr Michelle Reynolds is a researcher in nineteenth- and twentieth-century art and visual culture. Her PhD thesis\, which she completed at the University of Exeter\, considered the professionalisation of women illustrators and cartoonists in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain and their relationship to the socio-political and cultural phenomenon of the New Woman. Her research interests include women artists and designers\, illustration and book studies\, gender and sexuality\, reform movements\, dress histories\, and graphic satire. \nThis is a free event\, but please RSVP.

SUMMARY:Old Bomb Theatre Company presents "Craggy Hole Caves"
DESCRIPTION:Nele Poolerton is the local guide at Craggy Hole Caves in Yorkshire giving tours on prehistoric finds. However lately she’s had to live at work and she’s struggling to understand the intentions of her limited boss\, Stanley. Why is there a pillar in the cave called a witch? Where do the other caves lead? When did history first teach that god was a man?“Did you know that Neanderthals actually worshipped women? Yeah\, first religion ever was no pie-in-the-sky beardy bloke for them. None of this pale\, male and stale crap. No\, they worshipped women”Through the caves\, Nele takes us on a tour of the female reproductive system\, “yer basic cradle of life”. Craggy Hole Caves is funny\, it’s rude\, it looks at history when it was herstory and it plays with fire.
