History talk on the 1975 Mammouth supermarket strike, Rennes archives

Archives de Rennes

On Thursday 11 March the Archives de Rennes, on avenue Jules-Ferry, hosts a free talk by historian Hugo Melchior, author of Les caddies de la colère. It looks back at the September 1975 strike at the Mammouth hypermarket of the Alma centre in Rennes, using unpublished archives, testimonies and photographs. The walkout mobilised mainly women employed in retail, who blocked access to the store with a spectacular barrier of shopping trolleys to defend their dignity, conditions and wages in the face of authoritarian management. The lecture also discusses the lasting effect of the struggle on many participants' careers and commitments, and it is followed by a book signing. It belongs to a series on the bicentenary of photography. Entry is free but registration is required, and the talk is in French. It starts at 18:00 and ends about 19:30. «Les caddies de la colère, une grève exemplaire dans la grande distribution» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

Guided visit of the geology museum, Beaulieu campus, Rennes

Bâtiment 5 - Campus de Beaulieu

On Monday 5 April the cultural service of the University of Rennes offers a guided visit of its geology museum on the Beaulieu campus. The collection holds around one million items, from minerals and rocks to fossils and other objects linked to the history and workings of the Earth. It is housed in the geosciences teaching building, which is building 5 of the campus. The visit is guided and lasts about an hour, so it is a compact way to see a university collection that many residents never get to explore. Entry is free, but you must register in advance through the online booking page given in the listing. The text is in French, and the museum has its own information page on the university's culture website. It makes a good after-work plan for someone who likes science and curiosity. It starts at 17:30 and ends about 18:30. «Visite guidée du musée de géologie» Starts 17:30, ends about 18:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Service Culturel - Université de Rennes (open data).
