We Will Slam You With Our Wings
Part of Freedom Festival 2022
This is an operatic video installation for an army of six girls and war mistresses created by and featuring Joanne Dudley, the performer known for her ground-breaking collaborations with William Kentridge.
Each of the seven screens depicts a 18th century imperialistic portrait but with noticeable difference. Instead of the lavish depiction of white powerful men, young girl commands her own stance of power.
The bold new work draws on a quintessential 19th century form and turns it on its head – the dramatic soprano’s death aria.
Each girl recreates an operatic death scene representing the squirming heights of patriarchal fantasy.

‘Limitless’ Exhibition by Martin Nelson
| “Limit gives form to the limitless. All things are numbers.” Pythagoras.
Can art be found in numbers? This is the question that has directed the artistic output from Martin Nelson. However, I cannot help thinking in terms of the unknown, the unforeseeable territory in which I have entered, one whereby nothing is concrete or absolute. Rather the opposite, one that is totally unpredictable and obscure. I derive a great deal of satisfaction when seeing an idea work, and the delights of serendipity, the discovery of something new and unforeseen to me during an enquiry that appeared to be heading elsewhere. Martin Nelson’s work has been exhibited across the UK both in solo and group exhibitions. Nelson’s work is recognisably collected nationally and internationally. |

A Different World – Through the Eyes of the Travelling Chichesters
A Different World : Historic House Reveals Glimpse of Aristocratic Lives Abroad in New Exhibition
Behind closed doors at Burton Constable Hall on the outskirts of Hull is a hive of activity as staff prepare the Elizabethan mansion for its grand reopening on 9th April for the 2022 season.
Most exciting of the changes being made this year is the creation of a brand new exhibition room and its transformation into A Different World – an exploration of the adventures of the travelling Chichester family in the 19th Century. With never-before displayed archive material featuring sketches by the globe-trotting military officer Sir Charles and his wife Mary Barbara and diary entries and emotional letters between them and their children half a world away, this year there is something new for everyone to discover.
A life of excitement, tragedy, adventure and affluence is told almost entirely through the words of this extraordinary couple, whose travels took them across Europe, the Mediterranean, the West Indies and North America. These long voyages saw the family cross the Atlantic frequently in the days when steam ships were still a new innovation, when colonialism was at its height and when a simple train journey from London to Hull could take 19 hours! From the earliest days of their courtship, through early married life apart as Charles built his career in the British military, to the couple’s terrible parting in Toronto, this exhibition explores their lives together.
Letters to Charles and Mary Barbara’s eldest sons, 4000 miles away at their school in northern England, portray the stark differences between the worlds that each were experiencing – but also show the strength of the bond of love and long-distance parenting that prevailed even when the world was a much bigger place! Of the couple’s eleven children, only five survived to adulthood – many were born overseas in Trinidad, Toronto – and even onboard a troop ship! This exhibition reveals the way the couple coped with the hardships they faced, as well as reveling in the high life of parties and picnics they explored in all the countries in which they lived.
Come to explore this different world with us – and in reading the words of a bygone age yourself, draw your own conclusions about that world and the people who lived there….
