Ever fancied sketching among telescopes, globes, and ancient scientific instruments? Step into Cambridge University's home for the history of science for a relaxed, creative evening.

This talk will look at how Lili Brik’s position, as both muse and socialite, reflected the changing gender norms and the status of women in the decades following the Russian revolution. We will discuss the depictions of women in popular visual culture and art to illuminate the nuances and contradictions that existed in Soviet society in the 1920s and 1930s as the establishment of the new social order was taking place.

We're inviting people affected by Parkinson’s to take part in a short course led by dance for health artist Filipa Pereira-Stubbs and inspired by objects, artefacts and artworks from the University of Cambridge Museums.

Sessions start with an exploration of museum objects. The stories of these objects inspire the dance session. We end with refreshments and a chance to look again at the objects. The dance is both chair-based and standing, and we invite participants to work at the level that suits them best. Companions are welcome!
