Wotton Cinema are showing Savage Messiah on 30 March 2025. This is part of a celebration of Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska.
"Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska, who lived in Wotton from 1916 to 1922, will be celebrated this month with events marking the centenary of her death... Sophie, a distinguished writer, poet, and author, was known for her work in English, French, and Polish... Despite her contributions, she has rested in an unmarked grave for a century. A stone marker was finally unveiled at her grave in Tredworth Road Cemetery, Gloucester, on Monday, March 17, as part of the commemorative events.
The film screening is part of a weekend of centenary celebrations in Wotton-under-Edge, taking place from March 28 to March 30. Throughout the weekend, Wotton Heritage Centre will be hosting a special display about Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska.
On Friday, March 28, at 7.30pm, Del Barrett, director of the Hundred Heroines Museum, will give a talk entitled In Sophie’s Orbit, at the Chipping Clubroom, which is next to the heritage centre.
On Saturday, March 29, there will be a circular walk inspired by Sophie’s routes, a free workshop on creating identity through masks and photography, and a series of talks on Sophie’s life and legacy at Wotton Cinema.
The day will end with a Polish dinner with readings at Good Food On the Edge.
