Common Ground: Greenham Exhibition and events

Head along to NOTTINGHAM BROADWAY CINEMA from the 12th to 18th February to explore our Common Ground: Greenham Exhibition and join a week of exciting events!
Common Ground is a series of events bringing the legacy of Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp to local communities across the UK. It is part of a project created by Scary Little Girls in collaboration with Greenham Women Everywhere CIC to map the impact of the Peace Camp on the women who inhabited it and the communities they returned to.
About Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp
Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an enduring and iconic protest spanning 19 years from 1981 – 2000. Whilst the occupation of the common began with the aim of forcing out the US nuclear warheads from Berkshire, the protest became a focal point of feminist history and has left a legacy of women’s liberation around the world.
Broadway will be hosting an exhibition where you can find out all about this powerful movement that began 40 years ago and continues to influence today.
Hang out in a bender tent listening to a specially created soundscape of sounds and stories from the peace camp and interviews with Greenham Women. Chat to public herstorians about your memories of Greenham and hear theirs. Look around the gallery at portrait photos of the Greenham Women today as well as new work by contemporary artists inspired by the Greenham Women Everywhere archive and current protest movements.

We’re finalising details for more events and experiences that draw on the spirit of Greenham including craftivism workshops, book talks, film screenings, poetry, music and performance – keep an eye out on our events page!

These archetypes are not a character or caricature but a particular aspect or quality in all of us.
Frankie then guides you through a story (the journey) which gives you the opportunity to inhabit the larger-than-life world of the timeless figures of mythology and legend and to discover the vocal qualities that they evoke.
Tickets: £10, £8 concessions or pay what you can.

Are you an arts practitioner based in Cornwall? Want to discuss the issues that local artists face and make a change? Join Scary Little Girls for this industry event with ‘Owdyado Theatre!
You may have come across the recent Performing Arts Workers Survey, which was circulated through emails and on Facebook. We have been heartened by the overwhelmingly positive and candid responses from 72 artists who completed the survey. While the survey underscores the abundance of ambition, talent, and passion in Cornwall’s performing arts community, it also sheds light on the frustration, anxiety, and exhaustion that many artists face.
We held an event in November 2023 to begin addressing these challenges by coming together in person to brainstorm solutions for the issues causing these concerns.
Through small, informal group discussions fuelled by tea and cake, we will explore the issues identified from the survey (local funding, gatekeeping, artistic freedom, valuing artists and disconnectedness), discuss progress made since our last event and plan next steps to affect positive change
Please note that this event is not open for the public and is exclusively for artists in Cornwall.
Open Door Day Part 2: Fling Open the Doors! 2.30-4pm(ish)
From day one, Trevow Helston wants to fling open the doors of our new creative space, Helston Old Cemetery Chapel, and welcome artists, makers, creative producers, community project facilitators and cultural movers and shakers. Tell us what you need from this new space and hear about our plans so far.
From 3.30pm you’re invited to bring a guest along and fill the space with conversation about what the chapel could do to support the Performance & Creative Industries in Cornwall.
At 4pm Scary Little Girls and Helston-based circus performers, Cirk Hes, will perform selected highlights from our Mayven Festival to give an idea of what the space can do! This will be followed by more shared dreaming and collaborative conversations about the future of Helston Old Cemetery Chapel.
We’d love to see you – you’re very welcome.
