What connects the work of French artists, Berthe Morisot and Suzanne Valadon?
Berthe Morisot (1841-95) was born into an upper-middle-class family, received formal training as an artist, and became a pioneering figure in the Impressionist movement. Despite the limitations imposed on women of her social status, she created bold, innovative works that challenged artistic and societal conventions, capturing everyday life from a distinctly female perspective.
Suzanne Valadon's (1865-1938) working-class mother raised her alone, requiring Suzanne to work from a young age. After holding various jobs, including posing as an artist's model, Suzanne began creating art herself. Unbound by social norms, she socialised in bohemian circles and developed a bold, idiosyncratic style which defied conventions.
In this session, Jo Rhymer will consider the overlaps as well as the differences between these two significant artists, both of whom made major contributions to the development of French Modern Art.
Please note: the lecture is from 10:00am - 12:15pm with a break for coffee/tea. Come at 9:30am and have a chat!

An evening of courage, connection, and celebration
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we come together to celebrate the strength, resilience, and spirit of women from around the world.
Listen to powerful, deeply human stories shared by our members -- women who have lived through apartheid, war, depression, health challenges, and the everyday obstacles shaped by government and society. These are stories of courage, honesty, and hope. Stories that remind us we are never alone, and that strength is often forged in life's hardest moments.
Be inspired. Be moved. Be reminded of everything women can overcome--together.
After the talks, stay and celebrate with us over wine and delicious nibbles, enjoying conversation, laughter, and connection in a warm and welcoming space.
* Inspiring stories. Real voices. A community that lifts each other up.
Come celebrate all of us. Bring your daughters, mothers, and female friends--everyone is welcome.

A bold new creation by pianist-narrator Pavel Timofeyevsky and his colleagues.
Not lectures. Not concerts.
These narrated performances are an art form in themselves - where piano, voice, and story ignite to bring forgotten histories, hidden passions, and musical revolutions to life.
Pavel fuses music and narrative into living theatre, where history breathes, scandals burn, and forgotten voices sing again. These aren't "talks with music."
They are musical stories come alive - dazzling, intimate, unforgettable.
"Her Music, Their Name" (Second in a 5-part Series titled "How Women Changed the Music World)
They wrote. Men took the credit. Now the piano shouts their truth and the voice sings their stolen songs --
Fanny Mendelssohn, Alma Mahler, Florence Price. Forgotten no more.
