Flyer for the event: People’s Arts Collective –  PAC presents: ‘Rights of Passage’

People’s Arts Collective invite you to join us at this FREE event as part of Leicester’s Everybody’s Reading Festival 2018, thinking about our Rights, and drawing inspiration from artworks in the museum’s Victorian Gallery. There’ll be an enjoyable, thought-provoking afternoon of poetry, a sketch, stories, music, visual arts, celebrating some of this year’s human rights anniversaries.

at Leicester New Walk Museum, Tuesday 2 October 2018 1-4pm

You are very welcome to join us in the performances and please contact the organisers for further details (see below) if you want to display, play or read your work.

Thanks also to PAC members, Spike the Poet, Bradgate Writers, Westcotes Words, Sound Cafe and to New Walk Museum, and Everybody’s Reading Festival.

The idea for ‘Rights of Passage’ arose from Richard Byrt’s suggestion that we use paintings in the Victorian Gallery (the room where the stage is) as inspiration; and as a second strand to our theme a number of human rights issues that are being marked this year: 70 years since the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and the NHS was founded; 50 years since the death of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy; 100 years since certain women over 30 years were granted the right to vote Women’s suffrage – the Museum is planning an event around this.
