SUMMARY:Carry on up the Khyber - Movies and the end of an Empire with Colin Shindler
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to laugh at something too immediate. The surest sign that something serious has finished is when you can laugh at it. The end of the British Empire\, which started with the partition of India in 1947 but increased rapidly in the 1960s as the African colonies disappeared\, was immortalised in the very best Carry On film ever made. Set in India under the Raj but clearly filmed in Pinewood\, Up The Khyber starring Sid James as Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond and Kenneth Williams as the Khasi of Kalibar is a glorious parody of every imperial film ever made with its upstanding British heroes and mad/stupid/villainous natives.

SUMMARY:Imogen Corrigan - The Topsy-Turvy world of Misericords
DESCRIPTION:This lecture takes the audience on a tour of some of the extraordinary images that existin some 400 churches in England. The art form was in vogue mainly from C13th –C15th and rarely includes religious images despite the misericords being positioned soclose to the high altar. The secular\, sometimes bizarre and often profane nature of theirsubjects meant that many survived the Reformation and later religious enthusiasts.Much social comment can be gleaned from these carvings even though there are norecords describing why particular images were chosen and very often it is not possibleto date them accurately.

SUMMARY:Joanna Banham – Pleasure\, Practicality & Pain: The History of Shoes
DESCRIPTION:Shoes have provided essential protection for our feet ever since ancient times but theirdesign has rarely been inspired simply by comfort or necessity. Beautifully decorated\,hand-crafted and employing expensive materials\, they have also represented importantmarkers of status\, identity\, taste and even sexuality. Some\, like Medieval poulaineswith their elaborately elongated toes\, and Venetian chopines with their 22 inchplatforms\, epitomised the triumph of fashion over practicality.

SUMMARY:Douglas Skeggs - Monet: The Joy and the Torment
DESCRIPTION:Monet was the driving force of Impressionism. Ambitious\, determined and stubborn\, hewas gifted with an astonishing technical ability and a precision of observation that fewartists have rivalled. Brought up on the Seine estuary he came into contact with Boudinand Jongkind who inspired him to ignore the conventions of the past and work directlyfrom nature\, recording only what his eyes could see. In Paris he met Renoir\, Sisley\,Pissarro and Bazille\, then later Manet who invited them to join his artist friends at theCafe Guerbois. After a disastrous exhibition the group became known as theImpressionists\, a chance name that has remained with them ever since.
