SATURDAY 25 APRIL @ M SHED
SUNDAY 26 APRIL @ THE CUBE MICROPLEX
The Bristol Radical History Festival returns this Spring for its eighth edition, with panel discussions, films, history walks and exhibitions. There will also be space devoted to stalls, where you can stock up on pamphlets, books and more, from over 20 publishers and distributors.
This year’s event has four main themes: Propaganda, Utopias and Dystopias, Welsh history and the 1926 General Strike, a singular event that lasted nine days and brought Britain to a standstill.
And most importantly, the festival is entirely free. And, whether you are a serious academic, or curious first timer, all are welcome.
In addition, as a preliminary to the festival, there will be a performance on Friday 17 April at The Cube by Three Acres and a Cow. We are promised a new show that shines a spotlight on the Welsh history of land rights and protest in folk song and story.
Incidentally, this year also marks twenty years of the Bristol Radical History Group. Our first event was the inaugural Bristol Radical History Week in October 2006. Since then the group has become a permanent fixture on Bristol’s cultural landscape, and along the way has hopefully shifted some perceptions about the city’s history.
More details to follow…
