SUMMARY:Adventures in Arts Based Research: Reimagining Horizons by Professor Kitrina Douglas
DESCRIPTION:In this inaugural lecture\, I journey through a landscape that has shaped and challenged my research over the past twenty years. This is a terrain marked by many peaks and plenty of deep ravines and cliff edges. How do we tell the stories of those who have no power? How do we understand and communicate difficult or impossible experiences to narrate in words? What are the consequences for our society and culture when research omits somatic or pre-linguistic ways of knowing? How may we stand with participants by including our own experiences and vulnerabilities? How can we conduct research with – not on – others? \nAbout the Speaker: \nBefore entering academia\, Kitrina played international amateur golf\, representing England and Great Britain\, before joining the professional ranks\, where she played on the European tour. Among her dozen or so titles are twice winning the European Masters Championships\, the English Open Championships\, and she was a member of the first winning European Solheim Cup team. She spent a decade working in television and radio\, first with the BBC Radio Five Live outside broadcasting team\, and then with Eurosport presenting programs in Paris.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Battle of Chillianwala - Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:Ian McLeod tells the story of one of the fiercest battles of the Second Sikh War\, assessing its significance and revealing a unique link with the Royal Hospital Chelsea. \nAbout the event\nIn January 1849\, in the Punjab (in modern-day Pakistan)\, forces of the British East India Company clashed with the army of the Sikh Empire in a fierce and bloody battle. The British public were shocked by the severe casualties inflicted on British soldiers\, particularly those of the 24th Regiment of Foot\, which lost half of its strength in dead and wounded. Both sides claimed victory\, but British prestige was damaged. \nAt the time\, the battle fired Victorian imaginations. One distinguished poet immortalised it in verse and\, when two British generals were remarking on the disaster of the ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ in Crimea in 1854\, one remarked: ‘These sorts of things will happen in war. It is nothing to Chillianwala.’

SUMMARY:Talk: The Invention of British Art - Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:You have to try really hard\, it seems\, to like British art. Even its admirers concede it has contributed little to world art history. Tate\, the closest thing we have to a gallery of British art\, assigns less than a quarter of its display space to works made before 1900. Outside Britain\, only one gallery in the whole world is dedicated to British art\, in Yale. Few people visit it. \nWhy is British art so overlooked? Is it because Britain itself has never been enthusiastic about art\, and indeed remains ill at ease with it today? Is it\, quite simply\, bad? Or has British art suffered an injustice\, its impact on the world unfairly disregarded? \nNone of these questions can be answered without a frank reassessment of the history of British art\, those who made it\, and those it was made for. Now\, leading art historian Bendor Grosvenor is taking on that challenge. Looking at key moments\, objects and individuals from every era\, he explores how they were shaped by their environment\, and why – above all – it took so long for the art from theses isles to actually become ‘British’. \nFrom folk art to the role of female artists\, from the influences of invaders to the territories of the British Empire\, the story of British art is just as much a story of Britain’s place in the world\, and its impact upon it\, as the art and artists themselves. \nBendor Grosvenor is an art historian specialising in Old Masters and British art. Best known from the BBC series ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’ and ‘Fake or Fortune?’\, he has discovered a number of important paintings by prominent artists including Van Dyck\, Rubens\, Titian\, Gainsborough\, Beale and Lawrence.
