Sarah Lundberg Summer School
Join Us for the 10th Annual Sarah Lundberg Summer School
The event will take place this Saturday, 29th June, at 12:30 PM.
The summer school is an exploration of the concept of commemoration, remembrance and celebration.
- Who decides what is remembered and how we remember it?
- Are all commemorations of equal importance, and can remembrance ever be truly neutral, or is there always an underlying agenda?
- Does history dictate how we commemorate the past, or do our commemorations shape how we view history?
Engaging Presentations
The event will feature two insightful presentations:
- "The Ups and Downs of Dublin's Statues" by Hugo McGuinness of the East Wall History Group.
- "We’ve Put Up More Than We’ve Pulled Down: The Fall of Colston and the Memorial Landscape of Bristol" with special guests Roger Ball and Mark Steeds from the Bristol Radical History Group and Countering-Colston.
