Come and celebrate Jamaican Independence with live music that traces the Gloucester’s journey into Black History from Cuba and Jamaica in the West Indies to Africa and Great Yarmouth and back again.
In 1654 the Gloucester was launched and voyaged into Black History with Cromwell’s Western Design. The ship spent the first two years of her life in the West Indies keeping Jamaica from Spanish control. When the Gloucester sank she was under the jurisdiction of the future King James II who was the founder of the Royal African Trading Company. Jamaican artist Danny Keen has organised this panel discussion to coincide with Jamaican Independence weekend, to look at the implications of the Gloucester’s Black History.

No glamour. No gimmicks. No pretence. Nothing but a voice, singing of life’s triumphs and tragedies. Who was Edith Piaf? And how did she come to represent the spirit of Paris like no-one before or since? Her life is as well documented as her legendary voice – a child of the Paris streets who rose, via a tragic life of drink, drugs and death at 48, to become the best-known chanteuse in America and throughout the world.

Our summer holiday programme has been inspired by our latest exhibition, The Last Voyage of the Gloucester: Norfolk’s Royal Shipwreck, 1682. Visitors can find out all about the amazing story of the Gloucester, explore life at sea by navigating trails, investigate magical marine objects, create an illustrated page or book of the shipwreck story in our art and craft workshops and discover and impersonate just who would have been on board as part of our selfie station capers.

Born in the Swedish capital in 1989, composer SHIDA SHAHABI’s home was filled with both ‘70s Persian pop and long-established classical works, but, she insists, “it was the environment – my parents finding joy in listening and singing – that shaped my long-term relationship to music, not the genres or my family’s CD collection.”

The exhibition includes contemporary photography, as well as a Risograph-printed installation documenting the wall.
