SUMMARY:A Secret Beauty: The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e (11 July - 21 September)
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of the Lacquer Work of Koyanagi Tanekuni.\nLacquer has been used in Japan for almost 10\,000 years to protect and decorate objects\, such as wood\, bamboo\, earthenware\, and textiles.  Its resistance to moisture and degradation make it a useful coating for utensils\, storage containers\, furniture\, sculpture and wooden architecture. \nAs a decorative medium\, lacquer has had a high status in Japan.  The lacquerware decorated in gold and silver particles known as makie\, which was first introduced in the 8th century\, is a culmination of Japanese aesthetic sensibility and purity.  The value and prestige of lacquerware is shown by the status of its patrons\, which included emperors\, nobilities\, shoguns and daimyos. \nFind out more here.\nAbout Koyanagi Tanekuni\nThe artist\, Koyanagi Tanekuni studied makie and Japanese aesthetics under three holders of the title Ningen kokukō (‘Intangible Cultural Property’ also known as ‘Living National Treasure’). As a renowned makie artist for the past 50 years\, Koyanagi has been a regular exhibitor at the “Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition”\, as well as contributing works to many group and one-man exhibitions. He has also actively been involved in the conservation and preservation of national cultural properties and treasures in Japan\, such as the preservation of the Chuson-ji temple\, a UNESCO World Heritage site.   For half a century\, he has produced both traditional and contemporary lacquer work maintaining the highest technical and artistic standards. \nAbout the Brunei Gallery\nThe Brunei Gallery is an exciting venue in central London that hosts a programme of changing contemporary and historical exhibitions from Asia\, Africa and the Middle East.

Enjoy privileged out-of-hours access to the exhibition in the company of lovely\, like-minded individuals living and working in the Knowledge Quarter. \nThe exhibition begins in 1919 just after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles marked the formal end of the First World War\, which led to the establishment of contemporary peace movements.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - KQ Conference Legacy Event: Debunking the Myth of Decolonisation
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed due to ongoing concerns with COVID-19. New date to be announced in the future. \nThere is nothing new in the seemingly recent calls for the repatriation and restitution of museum objects to former colonial countries. Whilst inaction may seem like the norm\, museums\, heritage organisations and governments are opening up the conversation around co-curation and decolonising the collections they hold. \nThis event will help to demystify the questions we have around colonial objects and artefacts such as: Where do we start with decolonising our collections? Is sending stuff back really the answer? How can decolonising rewrite the damaging narratives that have been told\, whilst owning up to the mistakes of the past? How do you make a history not Colonial? Should we continue to hold on to objects (and hence their narrative) in the 21st century? Who\, ultimately\, should be making the decisions when dealing with problematic collections? \nFollowing on from our 2019 conference\, this event will provide a forum in which people from across the KQ\, who are working on or interested in learning more about museum and gallery collections\, can learn and discuss more about the challenges and opportunities of a decolonising them. Drawing from the wealth of expertise in our membership\, we will attempt to understand what decolonisation means and how we might engage and enact upon the concept. \nWho should attend?\nYou must work for a Knowledge Quarter partner organisation. If you do not work for a Knowledge Quarter partner\, but would like the opportunity to share your experience and knowledge in this field with our group\, please register your interest via email with Jemima Barnes: jemima.barnes@bl.uk

SUMMARY:The Second Pandemic: Misinformation and Perception
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this event are available through via Eventbrite here. \nWhat happens to our perception of truth during a pandemic? What happens in our brains that makes us more susceptible to believing and spreading false information in times of crisis? Mixing storytelling and science\, Christopher Bailey\, Arts and Health Lead at the World Health Organization\, will draw on real life examples\, taken from pandemics and wars\, to explore how rumours and false narratives proliferate in a crisis. In telling these stories\, Bailey\, an actor and playwright from New York\, strips away the layers of our psychology to reveal what makes us fearful\, impressionable and fundamentally human. \nMisinformation and fake news is also linked to the rise of “fake medicines” claiming to cure COVID-19. Christopher Bailey’s performance will be followed by a panel discussion including Founder of UCL Fight the Fakes\, Oksana Pyzik\, and Professor Robert Horne of UCL School of Pharmacy to further explore this growing global health threat and its’ psychological underpinnings. The panel will be moderated by Bhavit Mehta of the Knowledge Quarter and will feature a guest appearance from the WHO’s Special Envoy for COVID-19 David Nabarro.  \n“When facing the unknown we often tell a story to help make sense of what we are experiencing\, even\, and sometime especially\, if few facts are available.” ~ Christopher Bailey \nThe WHO’s Arts and Health program explores the evidence base for the health benefits of the arts\, and the practical implementation of arts-based approaches to improve health at the local level. \nJoin this moving\, entertaining and informative event brought to you by the Knowledge Quarter\, in partnership with UCL School of Pharmacy and the World Health Organization. \nOur Virtual Events:  \nOur virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out.
