SUMMARY:Aprons of Work: Voices of Value
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative textile exhibition exploring work\, care\, equality\, heritage and aspiration\n28 September – 19 December 2026\nCornwall Museum & Art Gallery\, Truro – Education Space\nArtist and inclusive arts practitioner Elaine Foster-Gandey presents Aprons of Work: Voices of Value\, a collaborative textile project created with young people from Torpoint Community College and Wave Academy Liskeard.\nThe exhibition brings together the voices\, ideas and creative responses of young people through the making and embellishment of aprons\, exploring what work means\, whose work is valued\, and how ideas around work and equality are changing.\nAt the heart of the exhibition is a large collaborative apron incorporating the students’ individual work\, alongside photography\, historic objects and material documenting the project.\nThe project draws on Cornwall’s rich working heritage\, including the lives and labour of bal maidens\, miners\, domestic workers and other working communities. Through workshops and discussion\, students explored both the visible and invisible labour that takes place in homes and communities\, considering questions of care\, responsibility\, equality and value.\nThe project also encouraged students to think about the future. Discussions explored aspirations\, careers and Cornwall’s continuing relationship with its natural resources\, including contemporary conversations around lithium mining.\nFor Elaine Foster-Gandey\, the apron is an important starting point for these conversations. Inspired partly by her own family history\, including her grandmother and great-aunts in East London who wore pinnies as part of everyday life and were highly skilled makers\, the project considers how an ordinary domestic object can carry stories about identity\, work\, family and social history.\nElaine said:\n“I wanted to use the humble apron as a way into conversations about work and value. Aprons have been worn by people in all kinds of occupations\, not simply in the home. Through making\, talking and sharing ideas\, the students have brought their own experiences and aspirations into that history.”\nThe project has engaged approximately 125 students\, with Year 8 students developing embellished textile aprons and Year 7 students responding to questions around future aspirations and the world of work. Students from Wave Academy Liskeard have also contributed to the wider project.\nThe resulting exhibition celebrates not only the finished artwork but also the voices\, conversations\, relationships and creative process behind it.\nAprons of Work: Voices of Value reflects the importance of creative learning in helping young people explore their heritage\, develop confidence and express their ideas about the future.\nThe exhibition is presented at Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery from 28 September to 19 December 2026.\nAbout Elaine Foster-Gandey\nElaine Foster-Gandey is an artist\, textile practitioner\, inclusive arts practitioner\, educator and curator based in Cornwall. Her socially engaged practice uses textiles\, making and collaborative processes to explore identity\, community\, heritage\, belonging and social history.\nHer previous project Hope – Weaving Communities Together brought together schools and communities through a large-scale collaborative textile artwork and was exhibited internationally\, including in Venice.

SUMMARY:Radiohead Reimagined by Candlelight
DESCRIPTION:From the guitar-driven anthems of The Bends and OK Computer — widely considered among the greatest rock albums in history — to the more experimental soundscapes of Kid A and In Rainbows\, Radiohead has been a defining force in the UK music scene for over 30 years. Their ability to merge idiosyncratic influences\, push sonic boundaries\, and top charts on both sides of the Atlantic has established them as an almost unclassifiable phenomenon — at once ambitious\, ravishing\, and utterly iconic. \nNow\, these era-defining hits are reimagined through the immersive palette of a full orchestra\, faithfully capturing the spirit of a golden era in British music. The rich harmonies and textures of Radiohead’s unique sound world have been sumptuously arranged for strings\, harp\, woodwind\, and percussion\, filling a candlelit cathedral with raw emotion and kaleidoscopic colour. \nThis unforgettable experience is a journey through Radiohead’s finest work\, bringing the magic of one of the UK’s most influential bands to your doorstep.
