Our programme for 2018 continues
with some significant events as we move
towards the centenary of the WW1
Armistice. In early May, Professor Jolyon
Mitchell continues our Arts and
Theology lecture series when he speaks
on the topic of Swords into
ploughshares: building peace through the
Arts. Later in May the German Choir of
London brings a concert entitled Blessed
are the Peacemakers, as they set out to
remind us of people who tried to
shorten the war. Our Cathedral Choir
will be performing with them in a
gesture of partnership and music-making
together.
Our Artspace exhibitions are particularly
interesting and varied this season. May
sees Sarah Harris showing her elegant
prints of Yorkshire in an exhibition
entitled Coast to Dale. We have seen
Antonio Pacitti’s paintings and drawings
before, but we now see his ceramic pots
with his wife’s poems accompanying in a
fascinating pairing in the church’s
Ordinary Time. We heard some of
Diane Pacitti’s poems at Easter 2015, and
her poetry evening on Monday 9 July is
not to be missed. To change the subject
completely and to mark the beginning of
the new football season, we exhibit
Nudrat Afza’s photographs of City Girls,
the female supporters at Bradford City FC.
ACT brings us Shakespeare’s Twelfth
Night; the Cathedral Choir and the choir
Chordiality sing for us; the Bradford
Literature Festival again brings us Sacred
Poetry; and the Tuesday@Eleven coffee
concerts and Wednesday@One organ
recitals continue. We are spoilt for choice!

RECLUSE: THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM CAPLING STEVENS
On 9 January 1911 William was found dead in his Saltaire home; his
body had lain undiscovered for three weeks. He was a talented artist,
but due to his reclusive nature, never achieved the recognition he
deserved. These paintings are from a private collection and have not
been shown publicly since 1970. The exhibition also gives us the
opportunity to reflect on how we, as individuals and as a society,
respond to people who are reclusive in nature.
Wednesday 2 May at 7.00pm
PROFESSOR JOLYON MITCHELL
SWORDS INTO PLOUGHSHARES:
BUILDING PEACE THROUGH THE ARTS How can arms be transformed into a wide range of arts? Drawing upon
examples from locations such as Southern Africa and the Middle East,
Professor of Communications, Arts & Religion at the University of
Edinburgh, Jolyon Mitchell, explores how the phrase ‘swords into
ploughshares’ is being brought to life in unexpected ways. This
illustrated talk continues our Arts and Theology series of lectures.
FREE tickets are available from www.bradfordcathedral.eventbrite.com
and the Cathedral on 01274 777720.
Refreshments available from 6.30pm. Retiring collection.
Lecture supported by The Montgomery Trust.
10 May to 10 June
SARAH HARRIS: COAST TO DALE
Sarah Harris’ latest collection of screen prints celebrates the diversity
of her home region and pays particular attention to the relationship
between manmade and natural elements that are entwined into our
landscapes. Working from her original pen drawings, each print is a
limited edition and hand printed by the artist in her Rawdon studio.
“I have always enjoyed the exploration of landscapes and I combine
this curiosity for my surroundings with my practice, endeavouring to
produce an image that brings you into the reality of that scene, whilst
evoking a feeling of nostalgia and sense of discovery. “
Meet the artist Friday 18 May at 7.00pm. FREE EVENT

POTS & POETRY

NUDRAT AFZA: CITY GIRLS
Nudrat Afza was immediately drawn to Bradford City’s female supporters
after a chance invitation to watch a game revealed to her a previously
unknown world of excitement and emotion. Having received permission
from Bradford City to take photos of the crowd inside the ground,
Nudrat embarked upon a two-year photographic project that captured
the passion, commitment and energy of the female fans of an English
football team. We exhibit a selection of her photographs to coincide with
the start of the football season.
