SUMMARY:KQ Private View: Slade 150
DESCRIPTION:Book via Eventbrite here.  \nKQ Private View: Slade 150 \nWhile we have to take a break from our in-person private views\, we are working with curators to bring the KQ’s cultural offering to the digital realm! Join us at 3pm on Wednesday 9th March for an online experience brought to you by the UCL Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Culture. \nThis year\, the Slade is celebrating 150 years of fine art teaching and research. From Stanley Spencer and Chila Kumari Burman to Rachel Whiteread and Michael Armitage\, Slade School of Fine Art has educated and trained generations of world-renowned artists since 1871. \nCurators\, Staff and Students from the Slade will offer an exclusive virtual Private View for the Knowledge Quarter\, showcasing their current artist-led exhibition SLADE 150: PAST\, PRESENT\, FUTURE. Students on programmes from BA to PhD level\, across all artistic disciplines\, explore ideas of tradition and heritage\, and ask how new generations can challenge and disrupt these. \nThe Private View will also showcase their parallel exhibition TESTING GROUND at the UCL Art Museum\, and PRINT PALS: THEN AND NOW – a print collaboration between the Slade and the National College of the Arts (NCA) in Lahore\, Pakistan. \n  \nAbout our speakers: \nNina Pearlman\, PhD\, is Head of UCL Art Collections at UCL. She works collaboratively at the intersection of research\, curating\, collecting\, arts management\, arts policy and innovation. She established Curating Equality at UCL\, a virtual platform for projects with UCL Art Collections that employ a collaborative\, interdisciplinary and poly-systems approach to gender equity in the arts and is a co-researcher on The Sloane Lab: Looking back to build future shared collections\, a multi-partner project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under the Towards a National Collection programme. Pearlman is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts\, board member of Craftspace\, and co-producer of the Women to Watch project for UK Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. \n\nAbi Ola is an MFA Fine Art 2021 graduate in the area of painting. She works with painting\, collage\, screen printing\, photography and performance. Combining autobiographical and collective histories she takes inspiration from old family clothes\, nature\, and tribal art as well as African and Oceanic textiles. Through the original patterns that emerge she seeks to represent her West African heritage and her life in the UK. Ola intentionally obscures the identities of the figures in her work to allow the audience to place themselves or their loved ones within the images she creates. Ola is one of two 2021 UCL East student artists in residence. \nInstagram – @abiolaartist & Twitter – @AbiOlaArtist \n\nLícia Santos is in the final year of her MFA in Fine Art in the area of painting. Her practice explores the body and nature through drawing\, painting and performance\, often drawing on her mixed Angolan and Portuguese heritage. Her work for Slade 150 engages for the first time with the practice of print\, making etchings based on life observations of her peers at the Slade. She is interested in how spaces influence the creative process and how artists find refuge in these and consequently in each other. In 2020 she graduated from Goldsmiths College\, was Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year series 7 and received the Slade’s Euan Uglow scholarship. In the year of her graduation from Goldsmiths College in 2020 she was recipient of the Slade’s 2020 Euan Uglow scholarship and participant in Sky Arts Portrait of the Year. \nInstagram: @licia_santos \n\nKorallia Stergides is in her final year of the MFA Fine Art in the area of media. She is an interdisciplinary artist based between London and Cyprus working with performance\, installation and media. Stergides interweaves autobiographical narrative into her work that explores the vital politics of care in an interdependent world and emphasises nonhuman agencies. Moments of public gestures of care toward nonhumans imprinted in public spaces and buildings hold particular interest. Her work for Slade 150 introduces for the first time object making alongside drawing and sound\, and takes as its focus the stray cat that transitions between its role as domestic and public ‘pet. \nInstagram: @aillarok \n  \nAbout Slade School of Fine Art at UCL \nSince its foundation in 1871\, following a bequest to UCL from Felix Slade\, the School has been a leader in fine art education\, fostering innovative\, interdisciplinary artistic and art research cultures. Its multiple histories have transformed art education\, research\, and practice\, both in the past and present\, nationally and internationally. \n  \nOur Virtual Events:  \nOur virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out.

SUMMARY:Income Inequality in the Knowledge Quarter
DESCRIPTION:Book tickets via Eventbrite here.  \n\n  \nIncome Inequality in the Knowledge Quarter \nAccording to the latest ONS Household Finances Survey\, the gap between the richest in society and the rest of the population has widened over the last 10 years. \nIslington has the 4th highest levels of income inequality in London\, and Camden is one of ten boroughs with the largest pay disparities – shockingly\, both boroughs have more than 1 in 3 children living in poverty (according to the most recent Trust For London Data). Across all UK regions\, the ethnicity pay gap was largest in London at 23.8% (ONS) and female employees were paid on average 16% less per hour than men in 2021 (London.Gov datastore). \nFor this special conference legacy event\, a panel of economists and policy experts will discuss the causes and impacts of pay and income inequality on KQ organisations and the area they call home. \nSo what steps can organisations take to tackle inequality within their own organisations? And how will these actions impact inequality across our area and beyond? \n  \nThis is a KQ conference legacy event\, brought to you in partnership with British Land. \n  \n\n\nOur Virtual Events:  \nThe KQ’s virtual events will take place via Zoom. You do not need to download Zoom software in order to participate – there is a web browser version which works perfectly well. Once you have signed up via Eventbrite you will receive a link by email 48 hrs before the event. \nIf you have any questions please get in touch with the KQ events manager Bhav (bhavit.mehta@bl.uk) or Mia (Mia.Johnson@bl.uk). \n\n

SUMMARY:The Camden Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Camden Music Trust and LB of Camden’s Music Service are organising the Camden Schools Music Festival on 12th March 2018. This is a wonderful event\, that captures the energy\, creativity\, inclusive nature of the borough of Camden. \nOver 2000 children participate with over 3500 councillors\, teachers\, celebrities\, parents\, local business people and many more gathering together under one (rather magnificent) roof to celebrate the musical achievements of children and young people of Camden. \nWe would be delighted if you would join us. \n6pm: Pre-performance drinks reception hosted by Camden Music Trust in the Berry Bros & Rudd Bar\n7pm: Camden Music Festival concert \nTo register email Julie Wemyss julie@camdenmusictrust.org\, please indicate  if you would like one or two tickets. \nMore about Camden Music Trust \nCamden Music Trust is a charity (no.1126046) dedicated to ensuring all children and young people in Camden have access to an enriching music education regardless of any challenging circumstances – such as living below the poverty line or with a disability (www.camdenmusictrust.org). \nOur focus is on ensuring all children have access to an enriching music education. The reason is not simply because music is fun to learn\, but that it helps a child in so many more ways. \nMusic can help in all areas of a child’s development: it builds confidence and self-esteem\, supports academic achievement\, improves sociability\, fosters discipline and patience and promotes creatively. These soft skills are vitally important in the growth and wellbeing of children and young adults – and can help open up life chances. \nThe benefit of this for the business community is that the children learning today – are tomorrow’s workforce. A company supporting music education in Camden can be sure they are helping all children access a broad\, rich and wide curriculum that develops a well-rounded\, confident and creative young adult.

SUMMARY:Elephant Path presents: Economy & Skills Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the launch of a book that uniquely combines local economy\, community engagement and changing neighbourhoods. The publication explains the reasoning behind experiments conducted over the past 18 months in Barcelona\, Berlin\, Antwerp and London and captures valuable lessons for community activists\, policy makers\, researchers\, planners as well as local business people. \nThe book will be launched on Thursday 9 November 2017 at 7pm at Wellcome Collection (Burroughs Room)\, 183 Euston Road\, NW1 2BE with a short talk by Michael Edwards (Senior Lecturer\, Economics of Planning at UCL Bartlett School & Hon Prof) followed by drinks and snacks during which there will be an opportunity to meet representatives from the 4 cities: Transit from Barcelona\, Tesserae from Berlin\, endeavour from Antwerp and City Mine(d) from London. \nIn La Marina in Barcelona\, Mehringplatz in Berlin\, Oudaan/Sint Andries in Antwerp and King’s Cross/Somers Town in London these groups developed and supported local initiatives that require\, reveal\, create and improve very different types of skills: from the harder skills of understanding urban spatial and economic development schemes to the softer ones dealing with group dynamic and interpersonal relations. In a later stage they asked what these skills could mean in a future world of work. \nThis project was coordinated by City Mine(d) and is part of Elephant Path\, a bridge between large companies and locals in the Kings Cross/Somers Town area\, and was co-founded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. \nClick here for more information and to book a place.

SUMMARY:Close the deal: The Art and Science of successful negotiation
DESCRIPTION:When: 15-19 May 2017 and 5-9 June 2017 \nCost: £4250. 20% off for Knowledge Quarter partners \nNegotiations are ubiquitous. As individuals we negotiate on a daily basis whether we are making decisions with friends and family or sealing a professional deal at work. Negotiations can range from the seemingly trivial to the very serious. \nIn business\, negotiations occur at every level; between employers and employees\, within and between firms\, between firms and government bodies\, across sectors and industries and between domestic organisations and foreign ones. And so on. Negotiations take place on matters of policy and finance – indeed negotiations can – and do – occur on anything and everything where more than one party – or “player” – is involved. \nIs this course aimed at you? \nEveryone is involved in some type of negotiation on a daily basis\, and so this course will be beneficial to a wide range of people from different organisations and backgrounds. \nIt may be of special relevance to senior managers and c-suite colleagues as well as to lawyers and individuals who are involved with commercial litigation\, dispute resolution and mergers. \nColleagues who work in sales\, purchasing and/or procurement will also find this course useful\, as will consultants who work client-side and officials who are involved in BREXIT and other policy-related negotiations. \nNo prior knowledge of game theory or economics is required and everything will be taught in plain English. Where technical concepts and tools are introduced\, this will be done cognisant of the fact that it is a non-specialist audience and will be delivered by people who have experience of doing exactly this. \nNot only that; this course is led by top Warwick University staff from a leading Department of Economics\, ranked in the top 3 in all major UK league tables; and the course will also have sessions delivered by some world class practitioners. \nFor more information and to book yourself a place then please go to the University of Warwick website.
