Love My Object
What would you save if the museum was on fire?
Bridport Museum’s volunteers have displayed some special objects around Bridport for you to discover.
Everyone has a special thing. A family heirloom, your first Teddy Bear or perhaps a piece of jewellery. Anyone can see what it is, but why would you save that, and only that particular item from a fire?
The Museum Volunteers were asked this same question, with the twist that they could only choose something from the collection!
You can find the first Love My Object displays at Bridport Library, Bridport Leisure Centre and in the Museum from Tuesday 5th April.
Why not get involved by scanning the QR code and telling the Museum about the special object you’d save from a fire?
Alternatively, share a picture on social media and tag them on Twitter @bridportmuseum or Instagram @bridport_museum, using the hashtags #LoveMyObject and #TheRightStuff
Love My Object is part of the Museum’s community project ‘The Right Stuff’, which asks some tricky questions – Why do we have certain things? Should we have them? If not, where should they go? Find out more about the project by visiting their website www.bridportmuseum.co.uk.

Event Details
A series of photographs by Nathaniel Sesay
Nathaniel Sesay, aka Mash P, was born in Taiama, Southern Sierra Leone. When he was nine years old he was captured by rebels and forced to fight in Sierra Leone’s brutal civil war. After the war, rejected by family, he lived on the streets of Freetown for 12 years
Mash took up photography in 2018 and began taking photographs on Bume Dirty Box, the biggest rubbish dump in Freetown where many families scrape an existence. He followed a young boy called Mamadu who was the same age as Mash was when he was captured. The images give an honest and authentic portrayal of life on the dump, not just the misery but also the joy.
He has had exhibitions in London, Manchester and Portland, USA.
Eight years ago Mash found the charity WAYout and recorded an album ‘Mr President’, playing a mixture of Afrobeat and dance hall. ‘Music brings me peace’, he says, and his music has become increasingly upbeat with dance music alongside the more serious tracks like ‘After the Jungle’ which features Frank Turner.
He now has a Global Talent Visa and 3-year Resident’s Permit to study and work in the UK. He wants to be accepted for his talent not rejected for his past.
You can support Mash P through his Patreon link here.

We are thrilled to share the upcoming 2022 Spring Season of MET Opera and Exhibition On Screen.
After a very long gap in our programme, we are delighted to announce the return of the MET Opera and Exhibitions on screen to the Bridport Arts Centre.
We will publish timings for these events as soon as they are available.
Directed by David Bickerstaff Running time 90 mins
“Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. He is rightfully known as the father of Impressionism.”
It was a dramatic path that Pissarro followed, and throughout it all he wrote extensively to his family. It is through these intimate and revealing letters that this gripping film reveals Pissarro’s life and work.
Born in the West Indies, Pissarro found his passion in paint as a young man in Paris, and by the age of 43 had corralled a group of enthusiastic artists into a new collective. Their first show was scorned by the critics, but the group had acquired a new name: the Impressionists.
For the next 40 years Pissarro was the driving force behind what has today become the world’s favourite artistic movement.

Take a walk back in time this year with Bridport Museum
Bridport Museum’s Historic Guided Walks are back by popular demand this Easter.
The volunteer guides will lead walks around Bridport, sharing some of their fascinating insights into the town’s unique past.
The walks will be running on Thursday mornings from 7 April.
These popular walks leave from the Museum at 11am, and last around an hour. All are easy level walking, and cost £5 per adult. Children are free.

Museum Director Emily Hicks said: ‘Delving into Bridport’s heritage: the buildings, the people and the stories: there is always something new to discover about our town. And, if you’d rather explore under your own steam, you can download trails from our website and get out and about when you feel like it.’

Event Details
Ralph Fiennes (Antony & Cleopatra) leads the cast in David Hare’s (Skylight) blazing account of the most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the city forever.
For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation.
Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors.
Faced with resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the city should become, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction?

Event Details
Robert’s new exhibition at Sou’-Sou’-West Gallery in Symondsbury is the result of five years of study, experimenting with different surfaces, grounds and mediums. Entitled ‘Reflections of Venice’, Robert showcases the culmination of many hours spent sketching and testing colours which would best represent the light and tones of Venice, and striving to capture the atmosphere of the city in a visually recognisable way, but in an abstract style.
With the use of strong black lines and a limited palette on a pure white gesso panel surface, Robert depicts the architecture, basilicas, and churches with their arches, domes and statues. The courtyards and alleyways are a striking feature, with their wells and washing strung between the buildings and over the canals, the bridges, working boats, gondolas, mooring poles, and of course, the titular reflections, mirroring the scene for twice the impact. The essence of city life in Venice is truly captured, evoking the festivals, parades of boats, the bustling waterways, masked and costumed people and cats sunning themselves in the windows. Visitors to the gallery will also be invited to view how this body of work developed. A selection of working drawings, sketches, sketch books, notes, colour charts and the testing out of differing mediums and surfaces will be displayed, making an interesting, insightful and very personal exhibition of Venice, combined with the educational side of Robert’s creative journey.

Netherbury Village (DT6 5LR)
In the picturesque village of Netherbury, between Beaminster and Bridport, a ‘not to be missed’ opportunity to see many wonderful gardens open together on one weekend.
We have an amazing variety of gardens to view, from small enclosed village ones to large ones with sweeping views of the surrounding beautiful countryside. There is a wealth of different styles so there really is a garden for everyone.
The village prides itself on the quality of the home-made lunches, teas and delicious cakes to refresh our visitors. Plant stalls and a tombola make this a great day out.
This idyllic village, with a river running through it, a 14th-century Church and views of the Dorset hills, makes the perfect backdrop to these magnificent gardens.
Entry tickets are £7.50 (under 13s free) and are valid for both days so the gardens can be enjoyed at your leisure. All proceeds go to local charities.
Free parking in the centre of the village.

Malone has a wonderful apt for re-working classics as well as inducing quirky and original tales throughout his sets – his former band’s Bargirl predominatly sticks out in my mind, “we’ve all done it”. Adding to his impressive resume is also Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs. Alongside his whimsical real life tales Davey also combines wit, charm and cheek through his often blunt lyrics.

We turned up, unrehearsed, unplugged and unhinged, and we left unsober in October.
The welcome return of Sunday afternoon live music to No 10 went down a storm, with dancing, singing along, much merriment and lashings and lashings of alcohol.
We got away with it once, so we’ll give it another go.
We’re back for more on the last Sunday of November, as determined as ever not to take ourselves too seriously.
Come along for some more music and fun.

UPCOMING COURSES!
Learn to dance the iconic movements of the 1920’s known as Charleston! During our courses we will look at the different styles of Charleston over the 1920’s, 30’s & 40’s, adding some vernacular/vintage Jazz movements and a little bit of history along the way.
Each week we will learn a piece of a routine, focusing on both technique and how to dance each movement. Every piece of choreography is led by the song to make sure we are looking and musicality and lyricality, however, our classes are anything but serious, we are there to have fun and learn to dance! Dancers of all (or no) experience are welcome!
