DESCRIPTION:Popular lecturer James Vaux returns to Chichester\, together with IKEA catalogues. Why did 1950’s Scandinavian modern design become so popular\, taking the U.S. and Europe by storm and how did it turn from a revolutionary movement into just another style? And was there a dark side to it? \nPopular Arts Society lecturer James Vaux returns to Chichester\, complete with IKEA catalogues. \nWhy did 1950’s Scandinavian modern design become so popular\, taking the U.S. and Europe by storm\, and how did it turn from a revolutionary movement into just another style? And was there a dark side to it? Lurking in the shadows\, there was a Nordic project to change consumer taste and shape the model citizen\, using scientific experimentation and social engineering. Using IKEA catalogues of the period\, see just how resistant consumers were to new\, state-sanctioned\, clean lines. \n

SUMMARY:Event SW08: Solo 2 Darwin – in the Footsteps of Amy Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Arun & Chichester Air Enthusiasts Society presents a talk by Amanda Harrison\, Solo 2 Darwin: the story of how in 2019 she took off in her 1942 Tiger Moth biplane\, to honour Amy Johnson\, who\, in 1930\, was the first woman to fly solo from the UK to Darwin\, Australia. \nDo you have a dream that you have been told you can never realise? Amanda’s journey was one woman’s dream that she never gave up on\, even through the dark days of cancer. Amanda is the true spirit of adventure\, proving ordinary people can achieve something extraordinary. \nOn 11th May 2019\, she took off in her Tiger Moth in honour of Amy Johnson’s amazing journey to Darwin in 19 days. Most adventurers choose a modern aircraft to fly around the world in. Amanda wanted an authentic adventure in a vintage biplane with its cockpit open to all the elements\, for her solo voyage. \nThe Solo 2 Darwin adventure saw Amanda flying through spectacular scenery\, extreme temperatures\, two engine failures\, mountains of bureaucracy and finally having to end the attempt with the warning of the possibility of being shot down. \nThe talk will have you flying with Amanda\, who with trademark humour and tenacity\, will have you experiencing the drama\, the dangers and the sheer exhilaration of flying all by yourself in a tiny fragile aeroplane across the planet. This event is suitable for children aged 12 and over\, tickets on the door\, no advance booking.

SUMMARY:Event M16: Classical Threads\, Persian Colours
DESCRIPTION:The concert bridges two worlds: the intricate elegance of Western classical music meets the unique textures of contemporary Iranian compositions. Iranian musicians will present an evocative programme that highlights the dialogue between tradition and innovation\, East and West\, in a captivating concert experience. \nClassical Threads\, Persian Colours brings together two rich musical traditions in a programme that explores dialogue\, contrast\, and connection. Pianist Mahya Mahroomi is joined by Laleh Abbasi\, the Ney (Persian Flute) player\, a traditional wooden wind instrument with a deeply expressive and almost vocal quality\, to create a sound world where Western classical forms meet the colours and sounds of Iranian music. \nFollowing the success of last year’s East in the West; From Classical Roots to Persian Resonance\, which showcased contemporary Iranian composers to a delighted audience\, this concert continues the journey of bringing Persian music into dialogue with Western classical traditions. The programme highlights both solo and collaborative performances\, blending Mahroomi’s piano interpretations of Iranian compositions with the evocative melodies of the Ney. \nThe works by contemporary Iranian composers are rooted in classical structures yet enriched with Persian modes\, rhythms\, and poetic sensibilities. Together with Western classical pieces\, they reveal surprising resonances\, emotional depth\, and a vibrant conversation between two musical worlds. \nRather than fusing East and West into a single style\, the concert celebrates their dialogue\, a meeting of lyricism\, storytelling\, and expressive nuance. From intimate\, reflective passages to virtuosic displays\, the performance offers a journey through tradition\, innovation\, and the shared language of music. \nClassical Threads\, Persian Colours is a celebration of cultural exchange and artistic connection. It invites audiences to experience the richness of contemporary Iranian music alongside Western classics\, continuing a mission to highlight the voices of Iranian composers on the international stage.
