SUMMARY:A Decade Since Dismaland
DESCRIPTION:A Decade Since Dismaland\nWeston Museum\nSaturday 13 September 2025 – Saturday 22 November 2025 (The Museum is CLOSED on a Sunday and Monday\, as well as closing for a private function on Saturday 11 October 2025 and Saturday 18 October 2025) \nWeston Museum will be home to a dismal exhibition this September\nThe 21st August marks 10 years since Banksy’s Dismaland opened in the Tropicana. After weeks of speculation\, visitors were invited in to experience the bemusement park\, a swipe at consumerism and the way theme parks brush away reality. The art installation curated by Banksy included over 50 international artists including Damien Hirst\, Julie Burchill and Jimmy Cauty. Over the next five weeks 150\,000 visitors passed through the gates. \nPhotographer Barry Cawston visited the site over fifteen times during these five weeks. The visits resulted in his project ‘Are We There Yet?’ documenting both Dismaland and Weston’s town centre. The collection of images highlighted how many of the conversations raised in the park were being experienced in the town itself. \nOpening on the 13th September\, Weston Museum will be home to the exhibition ‘A Decade Since Dismaland` showcasing some of the images from Barry Cawston’s project\, a decade after they were first taken. Also on display will be a small collection of memorabilia from a private collection. \nBarry Cawston’s photography has both sociological and architectural elements. His images capture the beauty of otherwise passed over scenes and places with a cinematic quality that is enhanced by Cawston’s attention to detail and brilliant use of colour. \nHis exhibitions have toured museums in Europe as well as being shown in the Marble Palace in St Petersburg. Cawston also had a six month solo exhibition in Völklingen Ironworks in Germany which attracted 200.000 visitors \nCawston has won numerous awards and competitions including the British Open Art Award\, The Nikon BJP Endframe Award\, The Black Swan Open Art Prize and the Exeter Contemporary Open. In 2023 he was the choice of Fiona Robinson\, the new Chairman of the RWA to become an honourary RWA academician.

SUMMARY:A Decade Since Dismaland
DESCRIPTION:A Decade Since Dismaland\nWeston Museum\nSaturday 13 September 2025 – Saturday 22 November 2025 (The Museum is CLOSED on a Sunday and Monday\, as well as closing for a private function on Saturday 11 October 2025 and Saturday 18 October 2025) \nWeston Museum will be home to a dismal exhibition this September\nThe 21st August marks 10 years since Banksy’s Dismaland opened in the Tropicana. After weeks of speculation\, visitors were invited in to experience the bemusement park\, a swipe at consumerism and the way theme parks brush away reality. The art installation curated by Banksy included over 50 international artists including Damien Hirst\, Julie Burchill and Jimmy Cauty. Over the next five weeks 150\,000 visitors passed through the gates. \nPhotographer Barry Cawston visited the site over fifteen times during these five weeks. The visits resulted in his project ‘Are We There Yet?’ documenting both Dismaland and Weston’s town centre. The collection of images highlighted how many of the conversations raised in the park were being experienced in the town itself. \nOpening on the 13th September\, Weston Museum will be home to the exhibition ‘A Decade Since Dismaland` showcasing some of the images from Barry Cawston’s project\, a decade after they were first taken. Also on display will be a small collection of memorabilia from a private collection. \nBarry Cawston’s photography has both sociological and architectural elements. His images capture the beauty of otherwise passed over scenes and places with a cinematic quality that is enhanced by Cawston’s attention to detail and brilliant use of colour. \nHis exhibitions have toured museums in Europe as well as being shown in the Marble Palace in St Petersburg. Cawston also had a six month solo exhibition in Völklingen Ironworks in Germany which attracted 200.000 visitors \nCawston has won numerous awards and competitions including the British Open Art Award\, The Nikon BJP Endframe Award\, The Black Swan Open Art Prize and the Exeter Contemporary Open. In 2023 he was the choice of Fiona Robinson\, the new Chairman of the RWA to become an honourary RWA academician.

SUMMARY:Stories of Home
DESCRIPTION:Stories of Home: Portraits of Our Community\nWeston Museum\nSaturday 6 December 2025 – Saturday 14 March 2026 (The Museum is CLOSED on a Sunday and Monday\, as well as closing for Christmas between Friday 19 December 2025 and Saturday 3 January 2026) \nA new photographic exhibition at Weston Museum!\n\nA new photographic exhibition opening at Weston Museum offers a vibrant snapshot of life in Weston-super-Mare today. Open from 6 December 2025 to 14 March 2026\, Stories of Home: Portraits of our Community brings together a compelling series of self-portraits and personal reflections that illuminate what it means to call Weston-super-Mare ‘home’.\n\nAhead of the exhibition\, members of the community were invited to take part in photography and filming sessions. Stepping in front of the camera\, participants were encouraged to look directly into the lens for a photographic self-portrait and to share their thoughts on the idea of ‘home’\, and what Weston means to them.\n\nThe project captured 120 self-portraits\, each offering a candid glimpse into the people and everyday stories that shape the town. Participants were also given the opportunity to record short audio reflections\, some of which will feature in a film for the exhibition.\n\nVisitors to the exhibition will also be able to contribute their own stories at open sessions taking place at Weston Museum on Saturday 10 January\, Saturday 14 February\, and Thursday 5 March 2026. Visitors can have their photographic self-portrait taken\, share their thoughts of ‘home’ and see their image added to a display on the community wall.\n\nStories of Home: Portraits of Our Community has been created in partnership with the South West Heritage Trust\, Weston Museum and Weston-super-Mare Town Council\, with support from a range of community groups.\n\nEntry to the exhibition is free.
