4th – 28th May 2012
Shrove Tuesday Football Match exhibition and film for the People’s Record of the Olympic Year – the year the Olympic Torch comes to Alnwick!
At the heart of a new exhibition at the Bailiffgate Museum is a memorable, enjoyable and moving film, produced by a team from the Gallery Youth project and film-maker Harry Henderson, to celebrate Alnwick’s traditional Shrove Tuesday football match. It has been made as part of the People’s Record for the Olympic Year, along with a series of over 40 excellent documentary photographs by Andrew Tunnard. Sound recordings for the film and a series of fascinating oral histories from participants have also been collected and recorded with the support of audio-editor James Boyd.
Bailiffgate is also hosting a lecture from Andrew Tunnard about “The Representation of Culture and Heritage within Contemporary Photography” on Thursday 24th May at 7pm.
The Bailiffgate Museum would like to invite anyone who has a photo from any Shrove Tuesday match to bring it along, put it on the community display board in the exhibition and donate it to the Museum’s archives.
