SUMMARY:Urban Bodies in the Cityscape of Cairo: Passion\, Despair and Entanglement
DESCRIPTION:The eighth in a series of ten public events interrogating how heritage and contemporary creativity enhance and affect both quality of life and sustainability in a range of Muslim contexts\, co-produced by Aga Khan University\, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and held in the iconic Aga Khan Centre.\nThis conversation focuses on how intense experiences during the Egyptian revolts in 2011 and afterwards are connected to the city of Cairo\, to artefacts and other bodies. There is no distinct separation between bodies\, things\, and cityscapes; instead\, these are intimately interconnected—a thick entanglement—and the ‘transmission of affect’ constantly flows between matter\, space\, and place. In Egypt as elsewhere\, temporality and frequency clearly influence these flows. Maria Frederika Malmström and Jonas Otterbeck will also discuss the notion of the afterlife of the uprisings in 2011 and why it is imperative in order to situate the temporal layer\, since every afterlife of a critical event does not only influence actions today but also creates new affective worlds. \nSPEAKERS: \nMaria Frederika Malmström\, Associate Professor\, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, Lund University\, and Associate Research Scholar\, Department of Anthropology\, Columbia University.\n \nJonas Otterbeck\, Professor of Islamic Studies\, Aga Khan University Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations. \nRegister to attend here. \nPrevious lectures in the series can be found on the AKU-ISMC YouTube channel. \n

SUMMARY:Catch your breath at the RCP
DESCRIPTION:Take a deep breath – how does it feel? What does it make you think? How many breaths have you taken today without even noticing?\nEveryone breathes. From a baby’s first cries to a dying gasp\, breath is an ever-present companion on the journey through life. Breathing isn’t just a biological process. It enables us to communicate\, to speak\, to create music. It can have deep cultural and spiritual meaning. It can be a marker of both health and illness. \nThrough objects\, visual\, sound\, interactive materials and events\, this exhibition will tell the story of how our relationship with and understanding of breathing has developed over time\, from ancient philosophers who equated breath with life itself to the latest advances in medicine. \nOpen Monday to Friday\, 9am–5pm. Check planned closure days before your visit.

SUMMARY:Jews\, Money\, Myth at the Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Jews\, Money\, Myth\, a major new exhibition at Jewish Museum London\, explores the role of money in Jewish life and its often vexed place in relations between Jews and non-Jews\, from the time of Jesus to the 21st century.\nReflecting on over 2\,000 years of history\, Jews\, Money\, Myth tells the story of an abiding antisemitic trope through manuscripts\, prints\, art\, film\, literature and cultural ephemera\, from board games and cartoons to costumes and figurines. These exhibition items\, drawn together from the museum’s collection and complemented by loans from Europe\, North America and Israel\, describe the various strands which have gone into the creation of a pervasive stereotype: the theological roots of the association of Jews with money; the myths and reality of the medieval Jewish moneylender; and the place of Jews – real and imagined – in commerce\, capitalism and finance up to the present day. \nThe exhibition shows how Jewish wealth and poverty have been created by circumstances rather than ‘Jewishness’ itself. Pushed into unpopular economic roles such as usury\, some Jews lent money for interest in the Medieval period; Jewish merchants and bankers were drawn to London in the mid-late Seventeenth Century; and tens of thousands came as poor economic migrants in the Eighteenth Century. They improvised a livelihood\, begging and peddling cheap goods in town and country. These contrasting roles gave rise to stereotypes that took hold of the public imagination and have shown remarkable longevity: two are easily recognisable in well-known literary characters such as Shakespeare’s money lender Shylock\, and Dickens’ Fagin who traded in stolen goods. \nJews\, Money\, Myth explores how stereotypes linking Jews with money and power evolved in different political contexts and have been exploited for different ends. The caricature of the powerful\, rich Jew continues to inform conspiracy theories and to recur in political propaganda\, cartoons\, artworks and on social media. With populism on the rise\, the exhibition comes at a critical point in history. \nRembrandt’s Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver (1629)\, on loan from a private collection\, is one highlight of the exhibition. The biblical story of Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver has a significant place in the history of anti-Jewish stereotypes until the present day. Other rare and early artworks spanning almost 500 years reveal a variety of malign interpretations of the story and shed light on relations between Christians and Jews. \nSpecially commissioned work by contemporary artists are a further feature of a fascinating and provocative exhibition. \n \nThe exhibition will run from 19 March until 7 July 2019 \nOpening Times: Daily 10am – 5pm (Friday: 10am – 2pm) \nThe exhibition has been developed in collaboration with the Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism at Birkbeck\, University of London and is generously supported by the Art Fund.  \nImage: Nutcracker in shape of Fagin\, Birmingham\, 20th century. \nThe low socio-economic position of most Jews in England and their low-status jobs led to Jews being associated with criminality. Dicken’s creation of the notorious pickpocket Fagin reflected and reinforced negative stereotypes of Jewish greed and dishonesty that existed in Georgian England.\n© Jewish Museum London \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:The Philosophy Shop
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art invite you to their latest performance installation\, in collaboration with King’s College London. \nA performance installation inspired by a set of miniature plays written by artist and philosopher Ali Hossaini\, and directed by artist and composer Catherine Kontz. The piece has been curated by the King’s College Cultural Institute and Informatics Department and the video & digital design department of RADA’s Technical Theatre and Stage Management training. \n“The main design idea behind The Philosophy Shop is to take the audience through a journey from a well-known\, comfortable world of object to a more abstract world of pure thought. By working closely with the video and digital design department\, the set and costume are now an integral part of telling the story in a creative and immersive way. \nWe didn’t want to turn it into a cinema screening\, but propose something completely different from other RADA shows.” \n– Designer and second year RADA student Anna Cierpial \nSee the exact show times and book your ticket here.

SUMMARY:Free Exhibition: Madam B at the Lethaby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Visit Central Saint Martin’s Lethaby Gallery for an immersive video installation which deconstructs and recontextualises Gustave Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. \nUntil 15 April\, Madame B is an immersive video installation which examines the link between capitalism and romance in relation to Gustave Flaubert’s 1856 novel Madame Bovary. It is a collaboration between Dutch cultural theorist and video artist Mieke Bal and British video and performance artist Michelle Williams Gamaker. The project is hosted and curated by Michaela Giebelhausen and Alison Green\, Course Leaders of BA Culture\, Criticism and Curation and MA Culture\, Criticism and Curation. \nWorking anachronistically to highlight the novel’s shocking contemporaneity\, Madame B opens up historical and contemporary connections between economics and romantic love\, desire\, consumption and loneliness. Through an immersive video experience\, the exhibition explores how these factors have persisted over the 150 years since Flaubert’s novel was published. \nOpening times\nTuesday to Friday: 11am–6pm\nSaturday: 12–5pm \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Artists under the skin - Exhibition Launch and Lecture

From simple woodcuts to high-tech MRI scans\, the drawings\, books and objects from the RCP archive and collections capture beautiful and unsettling interpretations of the shapes\, structures and textures of organs and tissues. \nThese efforts to render the anatomy in three dimensions are often masterpieces of art and science. \nVisit the exhibition to explore the artistry and innovation of anatomical illustration from the medieval world to the present day. \nPart of Thinking 3D\, an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept and communication of three-dimensionality and its impact on the arts and sciences. \n
