British Jews in the First World War: We Were There Too

An exhibition documenting the contribution and sacrifice of the Hull Jewish Community during the First World War. Over a hundred members of the Hull Jewish community served in the British army during the First World War and this exhibition tells the stories of their lives and service.

The exhibition builds from the We Were There Too digital archive and interactive website, which will become a permanent record of the lives of Jewish men, women and families, 1914-1919. The site includes details of their military and Home Front activities, ensuring that their stories are not lost for future generations.

All That Glitters…

Another installation as part of our wider Hi! WHITEFRIARGATE Culture Programme.

Bluebeany presents a sci-fi themed art installation inspired by the theme of SILVER in Hepworth’s Arcade.

Anna Bean aka Bluebeany is an artist whose work references vintage tv programmes, cult films and mythical tales. She is inspired by the idea of a light-hearted approach to art as a way of rising above the mundane routine of everyday life.

A key element of Anna’s work is the appreciation of the power of art to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Within her artistic process she values the contribution and participation of the audience encouraging them to connect to their desire to be playful and sometimes silly.

Bring your family, dress up and have a picture taken, along with others, will be creatively adapted into a collage.

Rediscovering Ferens | IDENTITY

The Rediscovering Ferens | Identity project is a collaboration between the Ferens Art Gallery and young people from The Warren and Future Ferens. In late 2022 and early 2023, the Rediscovering group explored what identity means to them, to communities in Hull, and how our multiple, fluid identities are represented by art in the Ferens collection.

The group has worked collaboratively with a curator to choose items from the collection, to co-produce an exhibition that will also feature new works created in response to the themes of Identity. The exhibition encourages people to look again and rediscover the Ferens collection and how they identify with it.

The accompanying events programme will be an opportunity for the young curators and creatives to share their work and for visitors to share their ideas about identity and the Ferens. Events will additionally explore missing identities and how we might better reflect the dynamics of local communities in Hull, in the past, present, and future.

 

Exhibition Launch Party

Join us to celebrate the joint launch of two new exhibitions at Humber Street Gallery, ‘Winner Breaks First’ by Luke Beech and ‘Baa’s House’ by Hetain Patel. This event is a chance to meet the artists, visit the exhibitions and to share a drink or two.

Winner Breaks First, Luke Beech

Luke Beech presents Winner Breaks First, his debut solo show at Humber Street Gallery.

The new body of work reshapes the gallery space into a snooker hall pocket realm, found by an artist from another world who explores the game for the first time. Beech promises a “sort of silly but quite revealing ballad of hurt and queerness and madness and joy” which draws on his own experiences and hopes to make sense of them set against a casual game and a swift half.

The show will have installation, videos and a sound piece too. In the gallery you can become a part of the art and take part in a game yourself, amongst  the other works on show. At times, Beech’s work can be dark and uneasy or open and raw. Sometimes, a little bit like life, it can be funny and absurd too.

Vintage Car Show

The East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club have been holding a rally in the ‘Capability Brown’ landscaped grounds of Burton Constable Hall since 2005.

This year, Burton Constable Hall is excited to welcome back a fleet of cars and motorcycles spanning the decades from a 1920’s Model T Ford to a 1987 Porsche 928.

Discover Ancient Egypt – Tutankhamun: 100 Years of Discovery

Tutankhamun: 100 Years of Discovery at Ferens Art Gallery

100 years after archaeologist Howard Carter and his patron, Lord Carnarvon, caught their first glimpse of the fabulous golden treasures of a then little-known Egyptian Pharoah called Tutankhamun visitors are invited to unearth the thrilling stories, myths and controversies surrounding the treasures of Tutankhamun in an exciting exhibition.

Using Hull Museums’ collection of exquisitely crafted replicas of treasures found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, handmade by sculptor William Aumonier Junior and his team of skilled artisans for the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 and 1925, visitors will be able to follow in the footsteps of those Wembley visitors from 100 years ago when the momentous discovery caused a sensation and ‘Tutmania’ swept the world.

Discover Ancient Egypt – Egyptian Hieroglyphs: Unlock the Mystery

A British Museum Touring Exhibition at Ferens Art Gallery

Unlock the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphs and discover all about the ancient world and the origins of civilization. The fascinating story of how the Egyptian hieroglyphs were decoded will be celebrated with the Ferens Art Gallery being the first stop on a national tour, following the major exhibition at the British Museum marking the centenary of the decipherment of hieroglyphs.

Perfect for all ages, visitors will be introduced to great pioneers like Jean-Francois Champollion whose ground-breaking work on deciphering the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, enriched our knowledge of human history by 3,000 years. Telling the story of objects central to the efforts to decipher the hieroglyphs, the exhibition will include an extract from the Book of the Dead belonging to the priestess, Nestanebetisheru to a large limestone lintel revealing the hieroglyphic name of the great Pharoah Ramses III. Egyptian hieroglyphs will take visitors on a journey of discovery, uncovering the central role hierglyphs played in the lives and deaths of the ancient Egyptians.

Here: A Journey Along the Humber Estuary

Ideas about the way geography and a particular “sense of place” affects us reminded me about the poem Here, by Philip Larkin (see separate attachment for further information and images). Over recent months, Here has acted as a source of inspiration for a series of paintings. The poem envisages a journey which follows a route from the “rich industrial shadows” of West Yorkshire along the banks of the Humber through to Hull and beyond to the North Sea and “unfenced existence”.

Burton Constable Hall, Open daily from 10am-5pm
