The Hare and the Tortoise

@ Ropetackle Arts Centre
Admn: £10 Adult and Child

The Hare and the Tortoise

In one of the most famous of Aesop’s fables, a very cheeky and boastful hare gloats that he’s the fastest creature in the whole wood. A tortoise, sick of bickering on this topic, volunteers to race him and Hare learns an important lesson.

Hannah’s inventive and energetic retelling follows the Hare and the Tortoise through, over and round the forest obstacles and working together, your little ones learn that it isn’t all about who wins the chase, slow and steady wins the race.

“Tortoise comes first, but so do we, as teamwork is worth more than first place to me.”

Adapted for storytelling, written and told by Hannah Summers, illustrations by Miranda Summers.

‘Shoreham Rocks!’ an Exhibition by Karolyn Mnich and Chris Hesketh

@ Shoreham Art Gallery
Admn: Free

Featured Artists Exhibition at Shoreham Gallery for August 2022.
An exhibition of paintings, prints and ceramics by two established local artists.
Karolyn and Chris jointly decided to mount an exhibition to highlight Shoreham's special beach and river.
Chris has worked with clay to produce a body of work made especially for the exhibition. Following many walks along the beach and river, taking photographs and sketching ideas, these have been translated into beach huts, ‘Bathing Belles’, fish, oyster catchers and lighthouses. All work is either Raku fired or stoneware in an electric kiln.
Karolyn’s work for the exhibition has been inspired after walking and making drawings in all weathers along the river and Shoreham Beach, in particular the rocks on the beach with glimpses of seabirds, cold-water swimmers, kite surfers and lively dogs with their walkers. Work includes paintings, prints and some experimental mixed media pieces.

Goal Power! Women’s Football 1894-2022

@ Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
Admn: 0-£9.70

This is more than an exhibition; this is a call for action. Step into Goal Power! and make a pledge to actively support, grow and shout about football for all.

2022 will see the biggest participation figures in women’s football ever. Matches are now shown on live mainstream tv, stadiums will be full for the Lionesses European Championship matches, more girls are playing in schools than ever before. Football has the power to change lives, and footballers are using this power to take a stand on beliefs close to their hearts.

How do we make sure this momentum continues, that women and girls have the same opportunities to play and work in football, that women’s teams are successful and sustainable?

This exhibition gives you our dream squad, women who have dedicated their lives to the ‘beautiful game’. Share in their stories of resistance, perseverance, but above all a love for football that means they have trailblazed the way for women and girls today. From the feminist players of 1894 and the war worker footballers of the First World War to those who defied the Football Association to play and those who have changed the Football Association from within.

We pledge to shine a light on their stories and experiences. What’s your pledge?

We’re delighted to announce that we are working on a series of community activations with Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. Together with past and present players and coaches we’re exploring the exciting heritage of women’s teams in Brighton & Hove and the power of football in women and girls lives today.

Look out for the Footballers in Residence programme. Local teams will be delving into Brighton Museum, holding special events, and sharing their discoveries and stories.

Tatty Devine’s statement jewellery is always ahead of the curve. Their jewellery tells stories and generates conversation.
Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine, features over 100 pieces from the past 20 years, from the early leather cuffs and piano belts to giant two metre versions of their ‘greatest hits’ including a lobster, their magpies and a huge banana, alongside sketchbooks, ephemera and two new films.
Tatty Devine’s founders Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine set up a market stall in Spitalfields Market in the mid 1990s.
