SUMMARY:Bombed - Full Circle
DESCRIPTION:A unique sound and light experience by artist Saranjit Birdi exploring the bombing of Coventry\, Dresden and Birmingham during World War II \n‘Bombed – Full Circle’ Part III of trilogy ‘Bombed – A Moonlight Sonata’ by Saranjit Birdi is presented on the evening of 4th June\, the day in 1940 when Winston Churchill delivered one of his most powerful speeches which called the people of Britain to action. It will be a sound and light event exploring the WWII bombing blitzes of Coventry\, Dresden and Birmingham and feature a large scale video projection onto the catacomb walls in Warstone Lane Cemetery\, which is itself connected to the history of Birmingham including both world wars. The event will include live poetry and musical performances\, plus oral histories and art from Jewellery Quarter Academy students and local artists.  \nLead artist and creator – Saranjit Birdi \nLive poetry and music performances by Phil Thomson and Christopher Foster (aka Alphaconception) \nOral history testimonies from Joan Edkins\, Hanna Kristen and Beryl Paramore\, plus Kenneth Chapman and Ray Hassall (from the Jewellery Quarter People’s Archive) \nThis event is supported and funded by Arts Council England\, National Lottery Heritage Fund\, Birmingham City Council and Jewellery Quarter Development Trust. \nThis event takes place in the evening because of the video projection element which requires the event to take place after sunset\, additional lighting and security are being hired to ensure your safety when attending\, but light levels will be lower than daytime visits. This is an outdoor space with no cover so we advice you to dress warmly and bring an umbrella. You are permitted to bring your own food and drink but please be aware there are no toilets in the cemetery (the closest public toilet is on Vyse Street).  \nThe music and audio for the event will be broadcast on wireless headphones to avoid disturbing local residents or the peaceful atmosphere of the cemetery. A small charge for tickets is required to cover the headphone hire. Headphones and seating will be sanitised before the event. \nPlaces are limited to ensure social distancing between all attendees not from the same household/bubble. Please only book tickets for your household/bubble\, as you will be seated together. This event is fully accessible for wheelchairs\, please email josie.wall@jqdt.org after booking so we can arrange your seating accordingly.  \nIf this event is cancelled due to changing COVID restrictions or severe weather conditions\, full refunds will be issued to all attendees. \nDoors open at 8.30pm for a 9pm start. We anticipate the event will end around 10.35pm.

SUMMARY:In Memoriam - with flag making workshop
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 has presented a unique challenge for people experiencing grief and wishing to remember those who have died during the pandemic\, because we have had to place restrictions on our usual rituals around death including funerals\, wakes and memorial services in order to keep everyone safe. BrumYODO and Birmingham Hippodrome are bringing In Memoriam to Birmingham– an open-air art installation by internationally renowned artist Luke Jerram – for this year’s A Matter of Life & Death Festival. Presented in the open air at Aston Park between 8th – 16th May\, In Memoriam is a temporary memorial for the public to visit and remember all those who have died during the COVID-19 pandemic and to pay tribute to all the NHS health and care workers who have been risking their lives during the crisis. The artwork consists of 120 flags created from bed sheets arranged in the form of a medical logo. As part of In Memoriam there is also a chance for everyone to get involved by making their own flags\, either to display at home\, at Aston Park or one of the other flag displays around the city\, plus an online gallery of all the artwork. \n \nOn Sunday 16th May from 11am – 3pm we’ll be putting up an In Memoriam flag display in the new chapel garden at Warstone Lane Cemetery\, with a chance to take part by bringing a flag you have made at home (instructions available here)\, making a flag on site (limited spaces due to social distancing)\, contribute the name of a loved one to the display or view the artwork. We’ll also be giving a sneak preview of our JQ Poppy Project community tapestry so far\, which is currently being created by Woolly Mammoth Stitch Works using over 300 poppies stitched by school children and volunteers. \nIf you would like to come down to bring a flag\, add a name or view the flags there’s no need to book – the event takes place outside and we have plenty of space for social distancing. However if you would like to make a flag on the day\, please book a slot using out eventbrite link to make sure there is space and materials available for you. If you would like to take part but cannot get to the cemetery on the 16th May and don’t have your own supplies at home\, please email josie.wall@jqdt.org by Friday 7th May – we have a small number of flag making kits which can be posted to you for uploading to the online gallery. \n

SUMMARY:Online Talk - A History of Key Hill & of Key Hill House
DESCRIPTION:A free online talk about James Watt’s first Birmingham home\, the history of Key Hill House and the surrounding area. \nKey Hill sits on the edge of what remained in the latter part of the 18th century of Birmingham Heath. Its history reflects the history of the heath and of the growing town of Birmingham. Its natural geology has played an important role in its development first by the Overseers of the Poor and then as the General Cemetery. \nKey Hill House was the first Birmingham home that the Scottish engineer James Watt returned to from Scotland with his young son\, James junior. Though the Watts leased the house for only six months it stood for a further 120 years and the subsequent tenants and owners reflect the industrial development of the area and as such are no less interesting. \nWhen George Demidowicz\, who has published extensively on the historical geography and archaeology of Birmingham and the West Midlands\, and John Townley\, an independent researcher with an interest in steam power\, realised that they were both researching the same building\, Harper’s Hill House\, they decided to pool their efforts. What has subsequently emerged is a history of all three of James Watt’s Birmingham homes: Key Hill House\, New Hall and Harper’s Hill House\, the homes that he lived in for fifteen years before his final move out the town of Birmingham to Heathfield\, in Handsworth. \nThis talk is free but places are limited. The talk will take place via zoom and ticket holders will be sent a link to join on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:JQ Poppies Project - Dog tag stamping workshop
DESCRIPTION:We’ve been working with Woolly Mammoth and over 250 poppy stitchers across Birmingham to create a community tapestry artwork\, which commemorates the war dead of the JQ Cemeteries and all those killed in conflict around the world. Learn more here. \nThe cemeteries both contain war memorials\, commonwealth war graves and family graves which commemorate service personnel killed in WWI and WWII\, as well as graves belonging to civilians killed by bombing raids on Birmingham. We are creating a field of poppies\, but we’d also like to add dog tags with those names on them before the artwork is assembled ready for it’s debut this summer. \nBecause of lockdown our stitchers were all sent kits in the post\, but now we have the opportunity to come together and hand stamp the dog tags.\nThe process is very quick – you’ll get a demo from an experienced stamper and then a chance to make a dog tag for the tapestry.\nNo experience necessary. This activity is suitable for adults and children over the age of 8 years with adult supervision. \nIn order to prevent overcrowding\, we’re assigning 30 minute time slots for groups of 5 people and asking everyone to book via eventbrite.\nThe activity will take place outside in Warstone Lane Cemetery – next to the war memorial (close to the gate on Warstone Lane)\, look for the black gazebo. \nWednesday 13th April – 10am\, 10.30am and 11am\nFriday 15th April – 10am\, 10.30am and 11am\nSaturday 17th April – 11am\, 11.30am\, 12noon and 12.30pm \nIf these timeslots get filled\, more may be added on other days. \nWe’ll be ensuring that social distancing guidelines are followed to keep everyone safe. If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 please let us know so we can cancel your ticket. If you are travelling from outside the Jewellery Quarter please walk\, cycle or use your own vehicle if possible. Face coverings are required on public transport. \nDuring the Easter holidays we also have a variety of self-guided trails available\, which can be downloaded or pick up a paper copy after your stamping workshop.

SUMMARY:Online talk - Traditions of Death and Burial
DESCRIPTION:A FREE Online talk with Dr Helen Frisby exploring the fascinating traditions which have surrounded death\, grief and burial from ancient times to the present day. \nDeath has been a source of grief and uncertainty for humanity throughout history\, but it has also inspired a plethora of fascinating traditions. The covering of mirrors to prevent the departed spirit from seeing itself; the passing bell rung to assist the soul to heaven; the ‘sin eater’ who by eating and drinking absorbed the corpse’s sins – all of these were common approaches at one time or another. Taking evidence from history\, archaeology and folklore\, this talk explores English approaches to death and burial from the Norman conquest to the present day: ancient customs which have long since lapsed\, others which have survived relatively unchanged\, and new approaches such as eco-burials – and of course the impact of Covid-19 upon our way of dying. Weaving their way through ten centuries of funerary customs\, we’ll see again and again the threads of affection and duty which tether the living to the dead\, and oblige us to acknowledge our own mortality. \nHelen Frisby obtained her PhD on Victorian funeral customs from the University of Leeds in 2009. She’s appeared on the History Channel and BBC Radio\, and is the author of Traditions of Death and Burial (Bloomsbury: 2019) upon which this talk is based. Helen’s most recent research\, conducted through the University of Bristol with Dr Stuart Prior\, investigates the informal occupational culture of frontline cemetery staff. Helen is Secretary of the Association for the Study of Death & Society (ASDS) and a Council Member of the Folklore Society. \nThis talk will take place via Zoom. Ticket holders will be sent a link and password to join the zoom session on the day of the talk.

SUMMARY:Online Talk -Pet Cemetery: Loving and Losing Animals\, 1880-1948
DESCRIPTION:An online talk by Dr Julie-Marie Strange looking at the fascinating history of commercial pet cemeteries and pet bereavement from 1880-1948. \nTickets are free but booking is required. Ticket holders will be sent a link and password to join the zoom session on the day of the talk. \nThe commercial pet cemetery was established in the UK by the mid 1880s. Like scale models of municipal burial grounds\, pet cemeteries borrowed heavily from long established mourning practices for humans. But if cemeteries for humans evoked reverence and respect\, social commentary on the pet cemetery treated it as a sentimental space\, an indulgence of mawkish and excessive feeling. This lecture explores why the pet cemetery\, and by extension\, pet bereavement were treated with disdain and considers how owners of pet graves sought to use the pet cemetery to create an emotional community for the pet bereaved. \nJulie-Marie Strange moved to Durham University as Professor of Modern British History in October 2019. Her first book explored Death\, Grief and Poverty\, 1870-1914 (CUP 2015)\, a pitch for understanding working-class and marginalised people’s responses to bereavement as complex\, nuanced and profound. Her second monograph\, Fatherhood and the British Working Class\, 1865-1914 (CUP 2015) considered what it meant to be and have a working-class dad in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Collaborative books include The Charity Market: Humanitarianism in Britain\, 18701-1912 (Bloomsbury\, 2018) with Sarah Roddy and The Invention of the Modern Dog: Breed and Blood in Victorian Britain (Johns Hopkins\, 2018) with Michael Worboys and Neil Pemberton. Her new co-authored book with Jane Hamlett\, ‘Pets: A History’ will be out in the next 18 months. Julie-Marie’s new solo project is ‘Love in the Time of Capitalism: Emotion and the Making of the Working Class\, 1848-1914’ begins in October 2020.
