The Stories of the Gloucester Shipwreck: Norfolk’s Mary Rose

The finding by divers of the Gloucester warship off Great Yarmouth, wrecked while carrying a future King of England and Scotland in 1682, was announced to the world in June 2022. The shipwreck is hailed as the most significant historic maritime discovery since finding the Mary Rose in 1971. In spring 2023, across 4 events, we will be joined by the Curators of the exhibition from UEA and Norfolk Museums Service, who have been exploring the mysteries behind the ship’s tragic end and the stories of the people affected by the wreck, both those who drowned and those who survived. The series focuses on the Gloucester’s stories as they are told through music, literature and history, art, and textiles

All events are free and open to the public and will take place at Norwich Castle’s Town Close Auditorium.

More details will be announced in the New year Visit uea.ac.uk/about/HUMresearchseries Email artsandhumanitiesevents@uea.ac.uk

Wed 18 Jan, 1pm How Stories and Sagas Create Agency for the Climate Crisis

It is a common feeling for people, these days, to feel anxiety and fear, helplessness too, in the face of global-wide crises. Yet stories can create agency, can be like tricksters of old who set us on the path through the dark forest. A very simple solution exists: leave all fossil fuels in the ground. Yet implementation seems impossible.

This talk is about hope and heroic journeys. It about acting and inspiring. It is about the options available to all of us for a lowcarbon good life Online For more information
