LUX/ Highgate Cemetery Talks: Claudia Jones @ LUX - online

Adjacent to Waterlow Park where LUX is based is Highgate Cemetery, one of London’s finest cemeteries and the final resting place of a number of extraordinary people. During the lockdown when visiting the cemetery is difficult, LUX, in partnership with the Cemetery is organising a series of online virtual visits with thinkers and artists reflecting on life and work of some of the inspirational people buried there.

The first event is a discussion on the life and legacy of Claudia Jones (1915–1964), the pioneering and inspirational Afro-Caribbean radical intellectual, dedicated communist, and feminist who is buried in Highgate Cemetery close to Karl Marx. We will be joined by Carole Boyce Davies, Professor of Africana Studies and English at Cornell University and Claudia Jones scholar, author of Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones (2008) and editor of a reader of Jones’ writing Claudia Jones: Beyond Containment (2010) and artist Rhea Storr, who in her recent film works has investigated carnival as a space of both celebration and protest, exploring their social structures, costume and language.

 

We are pleased to share the recorded conversation with Carole Boyce Davies and Rhea Storr on our website. The conversation is also accompanied by Rhea Storr’s recent work Bragging Rights (2019).

Coffee and Computers - online help @ Online
Face-To-Face Sessions Suspended… But We’re Still Here To Help!
Due to the ongoing health crisis, and inline with government advice, all face-to-face Coffee & Computers sessions are suspended until further notice.
However, we feel it’s hugely important for our community to stay connected, especially as technology can play a big role in helping us get through this difficult time.  So even if we will not be getting together as groups, we will continue to offer help and support to you however we can:
  • Our info@coffeecomputers.org email address is available to answer questions and offer guidance on all matters & issues
  • Our Coronavirus Support page provides links to official support services and local voluntary groups
  • The weekly emails will continue to keep us all in touch and we will aim to also offer handy tips & advice
  • We have compiled a list of useful Resources & Guides, e.g. how to get started with the various communication tools that are available
  • We are investigating various technologies whereby one-to-one help could be offered using via online video & audio calls
In these unprecedented times, it is very hard to know what will be around the corner. Neighbourhoods & communities are beginning to come together to support & help those who need assistance. Given the role that communications technology plays in the modern world, Coffee & Computers has the potential to play an important part in helping individuals access resources and maintain contact.
Learners: Look out for our update emails, and further “how-to” guides for other online applications and resources.  As always, if you need help getting started, have a specific technical issue, or would like help finding/contacting local Coronavirus support services or voluntary groups please do use the info@coffeecomputers.org email address,  and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Volunteers: Please let us know if you are available to assist with any of these initiatives, or if you have any comments or suggestions.

Highgate Watercolour Group at the Highgate Festival
The HWG will be showing a selection of paintings made during the ‘Lockdowns’ of
the last year. It will be available in the Highgate Society’s premises at 10A South
Grove. The group have met occasionally outside but mainly we’ve kept in touch
through Facebook. We’ve chosen a different theme each week and displayed a
selection of our members’ lovely work periodically. Recent topics have included
Nature, Spring, Dreams, Family and Travel – so an eclectic mix! Please check with
the HS for when the hall will be open to visitors.
