SUMMARY:Relaxed Morning Opening
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 25 April\, 9.00 – 10.00 \nFree event but booking required. \nRelaxed morning openings allow visitors to experience the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Museum of Natural History early in the day\, when the buildings are quiet. We open an hour early to welcome visitors who may struggle in the museums at peak times. The number of visitors is capped\, which reduces ambient noise levels and how full the space is. \nThe relaxed morning openings are designed for visitors who may benefit from a calmer environment\, including those on the autism spectrum\, have additional learning needs or sensory and communication difficulties\, and anyone who feels they would benefit from this session. \nFamily members are welcome to support the visit. \nQuiet spaces are available during the opening. \nYou will be able to visit both the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Museum of Natural History during this session. \nPlease email education@oum.ox.ac.uk to book your place.

SUMMARY:Indian Ocean African Migrants Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Room. Free\, no booking required. \nFilm produced by Professor Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya (Institute of Commonwealth Studies\, University of London; Lucy Cavendish College\, University of Cambridge; Faculty of History and African Studies Centre\, University of Oxford) \nThis 43-minute documentary film combines ethnography with history and heritage to narrate the story of African movement eastwards through the Indian Ocean World and beyond to the Pacific Ocean. The film highlights African music as a vibrant legacy through the genres of manja\, kaffrinha and baila in Sri Lanka. Ancient migrations less known than the transAtlantic African movement to the Americas are brought to the fore.  Moreover\, the achievements of some enslaved Africans in the East\, albeit freed\, within the sociocultural worlds that they entered into\, are unparalleled in the Atlantic World. The film will be of interest to those concerned with lost African diasporas globally.  Film producer\, Professor Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya\, will be present at the event and there will an opportunity for Q&A and discussion after the screening.

SUMMARY:Moʻolelo of the Ahupuaʻa A Re-imagined Journey into a Hawaiian Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Mo‘olelo of the Ahupuaʻa tells the various stories of living\, working\, playing and learning within a sustainable landscape.\n\nThese are themes within the epic Hawaiian myth Hiʻiakaikapoliopele\, which Hawaiian artist Solomon Enos depicts in this series of paintings. The heroine Hiʻiaka is on a quest that takes her throughout the various landscapes and worlds of the islands. On the way she encounters an underground hidden world of shape-shifting insect/arachnid-people\, who invite her to share their plentiful resources. \nThe seven paintings that feature in this display are from a wider series\, following from a previous display which highlighted the Hawaiian tradition of mo‘olelo\, a way of storing and sharing Hawaiian cultural memory that guides future generations in understanding the world. In each painting the artist re-imagines this hidden world\, creating an entomological character based on a Hawaiian species. Like these species\, each has an important role to play in this eco-system and has the relevant clothing and implements. This display draws on the theme the Ahupuaʻa – a traditional Hawaiian land division that runs from the mountain tops to the sea embracing the ecosystems within\, and introduces further characters from Solomon Enos’ imagining of the Hiʻiakaikapoliopele.
