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.

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.

We really feel this subject is of great importance and relevance to staff members across the Knowledge Quarter and hence we’ll move it to a date and time that’s more accessible for staff who are carers. We apologise for the oversight in our part and any inconvenience caused to you. \nBhavit Mehta \nEvents Manager\, Knowledge Quarter \n\n\nBook tickets through Eventbrite here. \nThis event will be part of our wellbeing special interest group series\, open to all KQ staff. This meeting will bring together people who are interested in practises that can improve and support the wellbeing of staff with caring responsibilities in the KQ. \nAcross the UK today\, 6.5 million people are carers\, supporting a loved one who is older\, disabled or seriously ill (Carers UK). 1.3 million people provide over 50 hours of unpaid care per week. Furthermore\, in 2020 the rate of children under 18 years in care went up to 67 out of 10\,000 (up from 60 in 2015) (CORAM). Every day another 6\,000 people take on a caring responsibility in the UK. \nAlthough caring can have many positive and rewarding aspects\, there are lots of reasons why caring can have an impact on your day to day life\, and why you may need support. This event aims to address some of the issues around this theme\, considering flexible working policies\, sign posting local expertise on caring\, and how KQ partners may be able to share best practise and support each other. \nOur Hybrid Events:  \nThe KQ’s Hybrid events will take place simultaneously in-person and via Zoom. \nThere will be two options when selecting to book a ticket: In-Person and Virtual. Please select the format in which you would like to attend the event. We have a limited capacity of in-person tickets for this event.

United by ultra-nationalist ideas and similarities of style and action\, these movements shaped\, and in some places remade\, politics and society. They mobilised on the streets to attack their opponents and to support the accession to power of fascist parties in countries such as Italy\, Germany\, and Austria. Later\, they helped to enable German occupations and the Nazis’ policies of persecution and genocide across Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\nDrawing upon The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archival collections\, as well as the expertise of an international group of specialists in interwar fascism\, this exhibition focuses on the experiences of the rank-and-file members of fascist movements in the interwar period. It explores the world of the young and socially diverse fascist activists and examines their motivations and activities. \nPhoto credit © Wiener Holocaust Library Collections \n\nAbout KQ Private Views: \nStaff and friends of the Knowledge Quarter and its 100+ partner organisations get free\, out-of-hours access to some of the best exhibitions in London. \nOur series of exclusive Private Views has opened the doors (before they open to the public) of the British Museum\, The Francis Crick Institute and the Wellcome Collection. More intimate venues such as the House of Illustration and the London Metropolitan Archives have proven equally as popular. These exhibition events\, often accompanied by tours\, provide an opportunity for the wealth of collection treasures in the Knowledge Quarter to be to be shared and celebrated. \nJoin us and make new friends with staff working in the Knowledge Quarter as you ponder manuscripts\, genomes\, butterflies\, portraits\, illustrations\, busts\, and much\, much more. \nIf you have any questions please get in touch with the KQ events assistant Mia (mia.johnson@bl.uk) URL:https://www.knowledgequarter.london/event/kq-private-view-this-fascist-life/ LOCATION:The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide\, 29 Russell Square\, London\, WC1B 5DP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Feature Event,KQ Events,Partner Events,Private Views,Wiener Library ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.knowledgequarter.london/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/this-f-life.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211117T101500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211117T120000 DTSTAMP:20260526T215529 CREATED:20210929T155937Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211007T123008Z UID:33302-1637144100-1637150400@www.knowledgequarter.london SUMMARY:KQ Masterclass: Putting Content Online DESCRIPTION:Book this event through Eventbrite here \nJoin us for a masterclass in putting content online\, in partnership with IP experts\, Briffa. \nIn 2020\, we had to adapt to life on Zoom. Everything from dating to trading to religious ceremonies were experienced largely in the online realm. In 2021\, we have ventured back out into the open\, but for many life will never be the same again. Having made the quantum leap\, it’s impossible to go back. This sea change presents a plethora of opportunities and challenges\, in particular for those in the business of creating and sharing content on line. We will look at three things. \nCopyright – The far-reaching nature of copyright law means that the use of almost all types of creative content is potentially restricted by copyright law in some way. We will discuss when and how such content can and cannot be used and shared online. \nPrivacy – 2018 saw the introduction of the most ground-breaking change to data protection law in two decades\, impacting not just Europe but anyone doing business in or through Europe. We will discuss how the enhanced privacy rights and obligations introduced by the GDPR (and\, post-Brexit\, the UK GDPR) impact our freedom to collect\, use and share personal data online. \nBrands – For those trading online\, brands are sacrosanct. A competitor setting up a website or social media account mimicking your own is the modern day equivalent of having a copycat open up across the street. Losing your trade mark or domain name to an opportunistic squatter is the equivalent of having your store burn down. It can devastate a start-up or a small business. We will discuss the importance of brands in the online word and in particular how to protect your own brands and how to avoid inadvertently infringing the brands of others. \n  \nOur Hybrid Events:  \nThe KQ’s Hybrid events will take place simultaneously in-person and via Zoom. \nThere will be two options when selecting to book a ticket: In-Person and Virtual. Please select the format in which you would like to attend the event. We have a limited capacity of 15 in-person tickets for this workshop event.

It also seeks to engender interest and understanding between distant cultures and challenge perceptions of less well known and understood parts of the world. Photographs from Iran\, Turkmenistan\, Uzbekistan\, Tajikistan\, Kyrgyzstan\, Pakistan\, India\, China and elsewhere will feature. Additionally\, the exhibition aims to raise awareness about AKDN’s contributions to improving the quality of life across social\, economic and cultural spheres in Central and South Asia as well as the Middle East. \nChristopher Wilton-Steer is a travel photographer and Head of Communications at Aga Khan Foundation UK. His professional and personal work take him to remote locations across Africa\, Asia and the Middle East.

We will be joined by Frances Jeens\, Director of Jewish Museum London\, who will share some of the work they’ve been doing on measuring emotional responses to exhibitions. We will also use the meeting to reflect on the last 12 months and how our organisations have responded to the various challenges. \nEmotional Evaluation at Jewish Museum London \nThree years ago the Jewish Museum London began a new method of evaluation based on the desire to measure the impact of their programmes through the emotional responses of visitors across all their experiences within the Museum. A pilot programme was launched to trial collecting statistical data on how the Museum emotionally interacts with its visitors\, which has since grown to both change the creation of their programmes and how they evaluate them. \nJoin the session to both see the results from the initial pilot project and to hear how this has impacted the Jewish Museum London’s work both before and during Covid-19 and their plans for reopening our Museum building. We’ll explore the idea of positive and negative emotions when experienced within the Museum and the idea of emotional hacking and empathy activation. \nAbout our Networks: \nOur Breakfast meet-ups give professionals working across the Knowledge Quarter the chance to keep up-to-date with all that is happening in the area\, as well as share tips and experience on what gets people through the door and engaging online. \nBreakfast meetings are relaxed\, friendly sessions; grab a coffee\, a pastry and join a table. We open proceedings with a handful of Lightning Talks from external organisations and from a selection of partners. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private virtual views?

This Virtual Private View will bring together two exhibitions of Aby Warburg’s legendary Bilderatlas Mnemosyne\, revealing Warburg’s revolutionary understanding of art and cultural theory. \nFor the first time since 1929\, all 63 panels of Aby Warburg’s renowned Bilderatlas Mnemosyne have been reconstructed using Warburg’s original materials for display at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. In a simultaneous exhibition at the Gemäldegalerie you can see some 50 original artworks in the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin chosen by Warburg for inclusion in his encyclopedic atlas of images. These two very special exhibitions\, taking place in Germany\, present the collection as close to the original as we will ever get to see in our lifetimes. \nIn collaboration with the Warburg Institute\, University of London\, the curators located most of the 971 illustrations from the 400\,000 objects in the Institute’s Photographic Collection and Library to display Warburg’s unfinished magnum opus in its entirety for the first time since his death. \nBill Sherman is the director of the Warburg Institute and professor in the History of the Book and Techniques of Scholarship. Sherman was founding director of the interdisciplinary Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies at the University of York\, and he moved to the Warburg from the Victoria and Albert Museum\, where he served as Director of Research and Collections and head of the V&A Research Institute (VARI). \nClaudia Wedepohl is the Archivist of the Warburg Institute. She has studied Art History and Italian Literature in Göttingen and Hamburg\, and joined the staff of the Warburg Institute in 2000. She held fellowships at the Center for Literary and Cultural Research in Berlin and at the Center for Advanced Studies\, Morphomata\, at the University of Cologne (2010-11). \nAbout the Warburg Institute:  \nFounded by Aby Warburg in Hamburg at the end of the nineteenth century and exiled from Germany in 1933\, the Warburg Institute attracted the greatest humanist scholars and philosophers of the time. The Warburg Institute quickly became one of the leading centres in Germany for the understanding of the interactions between images and society across time and space.  It transformed the histories of art\, literature\, and music\, and in emphasizing fields such as astrology and magic\, anticipated many of the developments in the modern understanding of the history of science. \nOur Virtual Events:  \nOur virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out.
