SUMMARY:Remembering the Kindertransport: 80 Years On
DESCRIPTION:“What is my key message to future generations? Tolerance.”\n– Elsa Shamash\, Kindertransport refugee \nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport\, discover the stories of six of the Kinder (child refugees) in their own words. \nIn 1938-39 the British government allowed 10\,000 Jewish and other ‘non-Aryan’ children from occupied Europe to come to Britain. This remarkable rescue operation became known as the Kindertransport. Now in their 80s and 90s\, the Kinder have given their testimony through the medium of film. You can also see personal objects and artefacts that they brought with them from their homelands. \nAs children they escaped violence and persecution\, but went through painful separations\, and their integration into British society was not always straightforward. This exhibition tells the story of rescue as well as stories of rupture\, loss and regret. \nThe Jewish Museum also has an extensive programme of talks\, lates and family events relating to this exhibition which can be found here.

SUMMARY:The War of the Worlds at New Diorama Theatre
DESCRIPTION:“No-one would have believed in the early years of the twentieth century that this world was being watched…” \nBut they did believe. \nThey believed that Martians landed in New Jersey.

They believed everything the internet trolls told them… \nWritten in collaboration with the playwright Isley Lynn and Inspired by Orson Welles’ famous radio broadcast and H.G. Wells’ sci-fi novel\, The War of the Worlds wrestles with the boundaries of truth in a thrilling broadcast of the end of the world. \nAbout Rhum and Clay \nBorn at Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris in 2010\, Rhum & Clay is a multi-award winning theatre ensemble led by artistic directors Julian Spooner and Matthew Wells. Passionate about finding new stories and bringing them to the stage\, Rhum and Clay collaborate with writers\, musicians\, dancers\, designers and anyone with an interesting story to tell.

SUMMARY:Artists under the skin - Exhibition Launch and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This February\, to mark the opening of a new exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians\, join Annette Wickham\, curator of Works on Paper at the Royal Academy of Arts\, as she discusses artists’ engagement with anatomy.\n \nThrough 2D drawings\, prints and illustrations and 3D écorché figures\, many of which sourced from the RA’s collections\, this lecture will explore artists’ exploration of anatomy in predominantly the 18th and 19th centuries\, while addressing the controversial question of how much anatomical knowledge artists really needed. \nBook your tickets now \nWhat’s Under the Skin?\nHow artists through the centuries have represented the three-dimensionality of the body is the central question a new exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians Museum will ask. \nOpen to the public from 1 February\, Under the skin: Illustrating the human body exhibits the intricate\, breathtaking and multi-dimensional manner with which Physicians\, surgeons\, artists and printers have illustrated the human anatomy. 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

Their drawing has been scaled-up to be 7.5m high to wrap around a pop-up structure in the courtyard of UCL. The work features classical columns\, as well as drawing and building instruments\, which are overlaid on a chart depicting the growth of UCL in its first 100 years. Inscribed with the UCL motto Cuncti adsint meritaeque expectent praemia palmae (Let all come who by merit deserve the most reward) the piece reflects upon the university’s development. \nEdward Allington: In pursuit of sculpture is curated by Dr Andrea Fredericksen\, Curator\, UCL Art Museum and Dr Nina Pearlman\, Head of UCL Art Collections. \n*Quote: Edward Allington\, A method for sorting cows: [essays\, 1993-97] Manchester: Metropolitan University\, 1997\, p.12.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Corita Kent: Power Up
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private views\, on this occasion hosted by the House of Illustration. \nKQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive view of Corita Kent: Power Up – The UK’s biggest ever show of work by the pop artist\, social activist and nun. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private views? Sign up to our updates here. \n \nAbout Corita Kent: Power Up \nAdvertising slogans collide with religious texts in Corita Kent’s bright\, bold and at times controversial screen prints. This vital voice of 1960s American pop art brings the sublime to bear on the everyday\, using typography and graphic design to investigate modern life and challenge its afflictions – poverty\, racism\, and war. \nPublic protest and spiritual reflection found a shared language in Kent’s pioneering approach to art and education in Hollywood in the 1960s. The exhibition will offer a bold new perspective on a pivotal period in American art. \nRead more about the exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Child Health in London at London Metropolitan Archives
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff and friends from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private views. London Metropolitan Archives is pleased to present an exclusive curator tour of their new exhibition Child Health in London.\nPaediatrics\, the specialist branch of medicine dealing with children and their diseases\, was a relatively late development in Britain. It was not until the end of the Nineteenth Century\, after significant breakthroughs in medical science had provided the stimulus to tackle disproportionately high child mortality rates\, that a more coordinated approach to child healthcare provision\, culminating in the foundation of the National Health Service in 1948. \nChild Health in London explores some of these developments through a variety of themes\, concentrating on institutions\, services\, practitioners and patients. It looks at the dangers to the health of London’s children and the pioneering ways in which they were tackled. Themes include child mortality\, the establishment of specialist children’s hospitals\, developments in treatment\, school health services\, child psychiatry and child guidance\, and the arrival of the NHS; as well as preventative public health measures focusing on non-medical factors such as diet\, housing conditions\, hygiene\, lifestyle and education. \nCase studies of patients and practitioners explore the varying ways in which society viewed children\, child patients and the various medical conditions they suffered; and how contemporary attitudes affected the way patients were classified\, diagnosed and treated. \n

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: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: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: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:Symposium: Alternative Futures - Creativity and the Circular Economy
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Futures: Creativity and the Circular Economy will explore the move away from the straight lines of the linear economy – the line that goes from make\, waste\, dispose – to lines and shapes that make for sustainable living and making.\nThe attraction of the circular economy\, with its virtuous circle of production and consumption and zero-waste up-cycling\, will be cross-examined by practitioners from business\, design\, fashion\, art and performance\, including Professor in Culture and Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow\, Kate Oakley; Senior Campaign Strategist at Greenpeace\, Sara Ayech; India-based textile design and production house\, Khaloom and artist collective from Spain\, Basurama. \nA day of inspirational talks\, workshops and performances will explore how we might use circularity as a framework for the distribution of wealth\, what might ethical circular practice look like\, and how might this transformative way of making and creating\, change our relationship to objects\, people and ourselves? \nThis event is produced by the Culture and Enterprise Programme at Central Saint Martins. \nFull price: £15\nUAL students and staff: £10
