What’s at Hackney Museum
People Power: Black British arts and activism in Hackney 1960s-2000s
4 October – 21 January
Aspects of Black British arts and activism developed in Hackney since the 1960s.
Please note: the exhibition will be very busy until 3pm every day during October and November with visiting schools.
Sharing Our Stories: Jewish Stamford Hill 1930s-1950s
13 September – 17 January
A display of local people’s stories by Teen Action, a Chassidic Orthodox Jewish organisation for young women, and Hackney Museum.
The Missing Chapter: Black Chronicles
21 November – 28 January
A selection of rare portraits portraying people of African, Caribbean and South Asian descent in Britain during the Victorian era. In partnership with Autograph ABP and part of The Missing Chapter project.
PS. Autograph ABP in Rivington Street by Liverpool Street is selling its massive photographic books at half price. BARGAIN.
PPS Met other familiar seniors and some Up Your Streeters at La Bella Vita by Tesco up in Leytonstone. Rate that highly. Great food and service. It was a busy popular place indeed. I had a bacon and mozzarella toasted granary bread sandwich with mustard sauce on rocket and posh tomatoes for £4. Now I am the one who will say” £4 for a sarni!” Not this time. Delicious. I was having a project planning meeting with Mary Katherine at East London Radio. All will be revealed in the New Year. Just to say we are doing it for ourselves.
Keep warm.
