Storrington Fun day a big success

An enjoyable day was had by all at Chanctonbury Leisure Centre grounds, where a range of fun activities were available for families to enjoy.

The Arts Society Steyning September talk Monday 11 September 2023 at 10am

The Cult of Celebrity: Omai, The Exotic and Joshua Reynolds A talk by by Leslie Primo

These included a mobile climbing wall, a bouncy assault course, learning how to Rap, and fencing.

In the warm weather, many parents took the opportunity to have a picnic while their children took part in the activities.

Chris expressed his delight with the event, saying: “It was a fantastic day – the sun was shining and approximately 200 families attended. It was great to see everyone having fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Remember to keep Monday 19 August free for next year’s Fun Day!” The event was made possible with the support of Horsham District Council, MADL (Make A Difference Locally), Sussex Police, West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, The Rotary Club, Storrington & Sullington Parish Council, Vortex, Nic & Ben’s, Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, Audio Active, and Tesco.

6

The Steyning Centre, Fletchers Croft, Steyning BN44 3XZ In this lecture Leslie will look at the events that led up to Joshua Reynolds’s iconic portrait representing Britain at the very height of its imperial powers.

As two worlds collided, Leslie’s exploration will include the key players in Omai’s story, his time in England and English society and his

interaction therein.

How did Joshua Reynolds’ ideas regarding his self image relate to his image of Omai and what can this portrait tell us about 18th century English society, its perception or preconception of the Other or non-white European?

What was the impact of Omai’s return to the South Seas, and what has been the legacy of the image we call Omai, an enigma in its own right?

Leslie Primo holds a BA in Art History and an MA in Renaissance Studies from the University of London. He has lectured at the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, the National Maritime Museum and the Courtauld Institute. He currently lectures at the City Literary Institute, Imperial College, London.
