Guided tour with art historian Catherine Wallace: explore the Sheila Hichens Newlyn School collection at St Michael’s Mount.
Penlee House's exhibition Harry Penhaul: Life through a Lens took us back to post-war Penwith. How did he choose his subjects? What makes his work so good? And how does this contrast with the work of photojournalists today? Greg Martin, himself a photojournalist, will talk about Penhaul's way of working and how photojournalists go about telling stories today.
Social history usually ignores the contribution that women have made to a local economy. ‘Before Cryséde’ aims to give these women a voice by identifying who they were and what they did.
