What's On Saturday 7th December in Bristol

Events on Saturday 7th December

“Strata: A Visual Assembly for Homelessness is a two day workshop delivered by IC-Visual Lab and inspired by Frequently Asked Questions by Anthony Luvera and Gerald Mclaverty on show at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft in Bristol. At the heart of Frequently Asked Questions is an enquiry into the state of legislated support and services available to homeless people across the United Kingdom, through number of questions that inquire about a homeless individual’s right to access to basic living provisions such as shelter, personal safety, health, food, and communication.”

“Step back in time as Brunel’s SS Great Britain is transformed into a Dickensian, winter scene complete with a beautifully decorated dockyard, Victorian characters and even falling snow! Experience the hustle and bustle of a 19th century dockside as the Ragged Victorians share their colourful stories with a seasonal twist. There will also be a chance to take part in traditional Victorian printing processes whilst getting to see a selection of festive objects from the University of Bristol's Theatre Collection.”

“This free afternoon workshop is for anyone of all ages and backgrounds interested in documenting culture through writing, audio, video, photography or any other form. Emma Warren will run it. It explains what a cultural story is, talks about how to ensure the right person tells the right story, and helps you develop your ideas collectively. 15 places available.”

“Emma's book tells the story of London venue Total Refreshment Centre which ran under the radar for six years and which became a key location for what became the new London jazz explosion. They provided space before the outside world was interested. Culture was generated. In Bristol, she asks how we can collectively support venues, community centres and clubs in the fightback against closure? And why do we need them anyway? The panel takes a look at Bristol's storied spaces that generated culture in the past and continue to do so now and looks at how physical spaces can help us come alive as a community too?”

“Murmuration Choir is excited to announce the details of another unmissable, one-off collaboration this December - this time with 6Music legends, Mesadorm. Held in Bristol’s atmospheric performance-hub, circomedia">Circomedia, we shall be joined by the awe-inspiring talent of special guest circus performers and vocal soloists, with support from singer-songwriter, Aniya Savage, and a dance floor shaking set from DJ Dad until the early hours. For the music and entertainment alone, it is worth coming to be utterly treated. But that’s not all.”
