🎨 Art Group, on Zoom
Join Richard every Monday at our virtual art group. This offers a space to explore creativity and design artwork based on carers' own life experiences.

Each Zoom session we will have a theme. We choose themes so that everyone can engage regardless of the Art materials they have at home. You can use anything or express yourself in anyway. This could include painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, writing a poem, photography or video.

After the session you can take a photograph of your artwork which will be included in a slideshow that Richard creates each week to share on his Creative Respite Youtube channel.

19th Century Superheroine: Sarah Parker Remond
This event is organised by Black History Walks in conjunction with the Sarah Parker Remond Centre at U.C.L.

Sarah Parker Remond (1826-1894) was an African American activist who became well known on her international abolitionist tours for her fiery speeches. A Nubian Jak Plaque will be unveiled in her honour, on March 25th 12pm at venue near Russell Square

In 1853 Sarah took successful legal action against a local theatre campaigning for desegregation long before the US Civil War or the Civil Rights movement. In 1858 she undertook the challenging journey, as a single black woman, to the United Kingdom and gave numerous anti -racist lectures to packed houses across England, Scotland and Ireland.

She studied at what is now University College London and Royal Holloway University. She lived around the corner from where Mary Seacole, a contemporary, wrote her first book. Sarah was also involved in British women's campaign to vote.

📖 Library Lecture: Joan Passey
This led to a sense of conceptual 'discovery' of the county, a metaphorical disinterment, as well as a new fear that all that made the county unique would be lost to the onslaught of tourists and modernity. Folk collectors mobilised to preserve threatened narratives, and some of these collectors also worked as writers of fiction.

This talk considers the relationship between folklore collecting and literature set in Cornwall in the nineteenth century, exposing networks of collectors and creators, collaborative relationships, and an enduring fascination with Cornwall's particular legends, lore, and songs.
