In 2019 the spotlight throughout the Hall will fall on these generations of women, and their varying impacts on, and contributions to, the development of the Constable Family and the Hall itself, through their fascinating and sometimes surprising, stories.
From the dedication of Winifred Constable, who accompanied her brother William on a Grand Tour to try and find a cure for his gout to the flamboyant Rosina, second Lady Clifford Constable, who enjoyed the freedom and financial independence brought by widowhood, and ‘sacked’ Burton Constable of valuable contents to pursue a colourful life in Italy, yet returned to Yorkshire along with much of the collections, to finally be buried in the family mausoleum.
This exhibition is included with the normal hall admission charges.
Brooklands Photographic Society will hold their 2019 exhibition at the History Centre next year. It will run between 26th March and the 12th April 2019 and will be the seventh time the Soceity’s annual exhibition has been held at the History Centre.
The society was founded in 1968 at the staff photography club of Reckitts in Dansom Lane in Hull. A move to the Brooklands Pavilion in 1982 gave the club its name and this name has been retained although the club now meets weekly in Sutton Methodist church every Tuesday.
The society is the Hull areas largest photography interest club and meets for 46 weeks each year. Its members come from a large geographical area and the club is well known in the local community due to its linked work with Sutton and Wawne Museum, Humber All Nations Alliance and the local charities it supports by taking photography shows out in to local community groups such as the WI or church groups.
The 2019 exhibition will feature 120 prints with each club member who contributes to the exhibition having one of more images accepted. All subjects will be covered and the public will be asked as always to vote for their favourite three images. The member with the most public votes for their image will win a prize donated by the club.
Inspired by the exhibitions taking place in the gallery, participants will create their own artwork, using various mediums, which will be displayed on the Fruit Factory Gallery.
For the first half of the Spring programme, participants will approach experimental drawing, designing playful hairstyles and wigs with inspiration from futurism and Sci-fi with found materials.
For the second half of the Spring programme, participants will be involved in producing portraits, these can be self-portraits, other participants or friends and family. They will be encouraged to use different materials to construct multi-layered works that allow them to expand their horizons of drawing.
Results for the workshops will be put on display on the brand new Fruit Factory Gallery on the Ground floor.

Visitors will encounter wondrous creatures and stunning landscapes filled with colours and sensations that are heightened and strange. Beautiful to behold and often sci-fi in feel, the exhibition will have darker undercurrents relating to our destruction of nature. The varied artistic work pays homage to visionary sci-fi writers and filmmakers who conjured apocalyptic landscapes and creatures such as; J.G Ballard, John Wyndham and Douglas Trumbull, to name just a few.
There are sculptures by Salvatore Arancio, Halina Dominska and Alfie Strong, paintings by Dan Hays and Katherine Reekie, a sound installation by Jason Singh, a live performance by Patrick Coyle and videos by Helen Sear and Seán Vicary.
A Tŷ Pawb touring exhibition, curated by Angela Kingston.
Humber Street Gallery is delighted to present A Tittle-Tattle-Tell-a-Tale Heart, Athena Papadopoulos’ first major institutional presentation in the UK. Using her recent two-part novel, of the same title as a point of departure the artist will create a narrative that combines the use of free-standing sculpture, sound installation, costume and performance.
The exhibition is loosely based on her recent novel of the same title and is constructed around a selection of chapters reinterpreted into 2&3-D artworks. The novel mimics that of a detective story, inspired by films such as Sunset Boulevard and follows the narrative of the film’s protagonist “Bunny” to uncover what may have led to her downfall.

A 27ft sculpture made of knives is coming to Hull to show the impact of knife crime and culture.
The sculpture, ‘Knife Angel’, is made up with over 100,000 weapons collected in a knife amnesty. It is in the shape of an angel and engraved with messages from families of victims of knife crime.
The sculpture was made to tour the UK but has so far only been shown in Liverpool – making Hull the second city to host it.
It will be visiting the city as part of the #NoMoreKnifes campaign, launched by Hull Live last year alongside the RICH Foundation in a bid to rid the region’s streets of knife crime.
The exhibition will take place in The Rose Bowl inside Queen’s Gardens.
London based designer Sallyann Mason, born in Hull, has been inspired by such an incredible community of Women from 50 years ago of Hessle Road, that to celebrate the year of the 50th year anniversary of this group of women’s powerful endeavour to rock the establishment and save the future lives of thousands of men in their community and the rest of the world, that she has taken it upon herself to design a traveling story campaign which has quite literally traveled the World in 80 days in the old fashioned way via Land, Sea and Air and has brought the incredibly inspirational story of the Headscarf Revolutionaries into communities in over 78 global cities in 26 countries across 6 continents, places such as Damascus, Colombia, Iran, Beijing, to name a few.
