Fri 23 October to Mon 3 May - An Edwardian Family Album exhibition
This exhibition gives a fascinating glimpse into the life and leisure time of a Wirral family during the Edwardian era. The pictures were taken by Jack Urton, a keen amateur photographer, who lived in Birkenhead and later in Bebington. We see his family at home and in the garden, with relatives and friends, and on days out in Wirral and further afield.
Early 20th century photographs, particularly the kind of snapshots taken by Urton, portray an idealised image of the comforts of family life. They record personal and economic achievements, providing evidence of the family’s status through such things as their holidays, clothing, large garden and even transport.
Improvements in technology meant that families no longer relied on commercial or professional photographers and their formal studio portraits. Instead, as demonstrated by Urton’s pictures of his own family, photography entered the domestic setting, showing people more relaxed and spontaneous.
This personal, intimate view of an Edwardian family evokes a bygone age. The pictures resonate today with an immediacy and familiarity that recalls our own family photographs.
If anything in the exhibition reminds you of photographs in your own family album, you can visit the response area to share your memories. Children can also have fun dressing up as little Edwardians in costumes inspired by the exhibition!
This exhibition was the idea of David Price (1945-2008), who was a Flintshire based photography enthusiast and member of the Photographic Collectors Club of Great Britain.
FREE ENTRY.

Fri 29 January to Sun 25 April - Afro Modern: Journeys through the Black Atlantic exhibition
This major exhibition, inspired by Paul Gilroy's seminal book The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness (1993), identifies a hybrid culture that spans the Atlantic, connecting Africa, North and South America, The Caribbean and Europe. The exhibition is the first to trace in depth the impact of Black Atlantic culture on Modernism and will reveal how black artists and intellectuals have played a central role in the formation of Modernism from the early twentieth century to today.
From the influences of African art on the Modernist forms of artists like Picasso, to the work of contemporary artists such as Kara Walker, Ellen Gallagher and Chris Ofili, the exhibition will map out visual and cultural hybridity in modern and contemporary art that has arisen from the journeys made by people of Black African descent.
Divided into seven chronological chapters, from early twentieth century avant-garde movements such as the Harlem Renaissance to current debates around 'Post-Black' art, this exhibition opens up an alternative transatlantic reading of Modernism and its impact on contemporary culture for a new generation.
Tate Liverpool has initiated a city-wide programme of parallel exhibitions and events that explore the themes and ideas of Afro Modern: Journeys through the Black Atlantic. Partners include the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art Creative Technology), Metal, Walker Art Gallery and Liverpool University.
Tues-Sun, 10am-5.50pm - Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, Liverpool - location map

Thursday 4th February @ 6.30pm - Milk (Cert. 15)
Based on a true story and starring Sean Penn. Harvey Milk leaves New York in 1972 for San Francisco and gains focus in his life as a gay activist in San Francisco's Castro district. Gay rights activism turns to political activism as Milk decides he can be a more effective voice for the gay community as a politician, elected or not. Through several elections and losses both for a city seat and a state assembly seat, Milk becomes the first openly gay man in the United States to be elected to political office when he wins a San Francisco supervisor seat in 1977. His many political battlefronts include one with the national anti-gay Save the Children crusade, led and fronted by singer Anita Bryant. Closer to home, Milk has a continuing struggle with his fellow supervisor, Dan White, a staunch social conservative.
Tuesday 9th February @ 6.30pm - The Birdcage (Cert. 15)
The great improvisational comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May reunited to (respectively) direct and write this update of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles. Robin Williams stars as a gay Miami nightclub owner who is forced to play it straight and ask his drag-queen partner (Nathan Lane) to hide out when Williams's son invites his prospective--and highly conservative--in-laws and fiancée to a meet-and-greet dinner party. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest play the straight-laced senator and his wife, and Calista Flockhart plays their daughter in a culture-clash with outrageous consequences. May's witty screenplay incorporates some pointed observations about the political landscape of the 1990s and takes a sensitive approach to the comedy's underlying drama
Thursday 11th February @ 6.30pm - Transamerica (Cert. 15)
Felicity Huffman of Desperate Housewives plays an uptight male-to-female transsexual named Sabrina Bree Osbourne (nee Stanley). Bree's life takes a sudden turn when she receives a phone call from New York. Her son, Toby (Kevin Zegers), has been jailed, and Bree needs to post bail for him. The only problem is, Bree didn't know she had a son, but her therapist refuses to give her written permission to have the final part of her sex-change operation if she doesn't go, so Bree heads east from her California home...
Wednesday 24th February @ 6.30pm - Beautiful Thing (Cert. 15)
The offbeat, underachieving denizens of a southeast London apartment building get an emotional wake-up call when two of the neighbours--two teen boys--unexpectedly fall in love. Tender-hearted kitchen-sink realism from Channel Four Films, adapted from the play by Jonathan Harvey.
***Contains adult themes and strong language***

Wed 10 February - Liverpool Humanist Group - Darwin Day Lecture
Professor Robin Crompton
The arboreal origins of human walking
To celebrate the 201st anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth.
Professor Crompton runs the Primate Evolution and Morphology Group at Liverpool University. The Group concerns itself mainly with the locomotor systems of primates and hominids, with particular emphasis on the structure and operation of the foot and its interaction with the ground.
The talk will focus on the new discoveries and ideas which are coming together to suggest that human bipedal walking arose when our ancestors were still partially or completely arboreal animals. It will show how these discoveries shed new light on the evolution of the great apes as a whole, and the subfamily Homininae, containing ourselves and the chimpanzees, in particular.

Mon 22 February - The Price of Sugar: Film screening in support of the Haitian disaster appeal
This award winning film charts the experiences of Haitian migrants who are driven to work in semi-bondage on the Dominican sugar plantations. It follows the attempts of Father Christopher Hartley, a charismatic Spanish priest, as he organises some of this hemisphere's poorest people to fight for their basic human rights. The film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate and at what human cost they are produced.
The film will be introduced by Ron Noon, Senior Lecturer in
History at LJM University. Ron has made a special study of the global trade in sugar, from it’s roots in the enslavement of
Africans and the destruction of the natural environment through to it’s impact today on working people from Liverpool to the U.S. and the Caribbean.
We hope to have an eyewitness report from Haiti.
There will be another screening of the film on Thurs 25th February, at 1.30pm.
Admission is free, but a collection will be taken disaster relief in Haiti.
