SUMMARY:Basic Instincts (Exhibition runs from 29 Sep 2017 — 07 Jan 2018)
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr Jacqueline Riding\, Basic Instincts explores Georgian attitudes to love\, desire and female respectability through the radical paintings of Joseph Highmore.  \nA highly successful artist and Governor of London’s Foundling Hospital\, Joseph Highmore (1692-1780) is best known as a portrait painter of the Georgian middle class. However\, during the 1740s his art radically shifted\, reflecting his engagement with the work of the new Foundling Hospital and its mission to support desperate and abused women. Highmore’s involvement with the Hospital sparked engagement with issues around women’s vulnerability to sexual assault and society’s unwillingness to support them\, culminating in a work of exceptional power\, The Angel of Mercy (c.1746). \nBasic Instincts is the first major Highmore exhibition for 50 years and explores this decade of disruptive social commentary in his art. Amongst the works on display are four paintings from a series of twelve\, inspired by Samuel Richardson’s international bestseller\, Pamela\, or Virtue Rewarded\, explicitly making reference to the abuse and sexual violence at the core of the novel. On public display in the UK for the first time as part of Basic Instincts is a remarkable painting that still retains the power to shock. The Angel of Mercy depicts a desperate mother in the act of killing her baby\, with the distant Foundling Hospital presented as the alternative. Set among Highmore’s tender portraits of mothers and children\, family and friends\, this show uniquely demonstrates the artist’s depth and variety. \nFree entry with musuem admission\, click here for more information.

SUMMARY:Raft of the Medusa (Exhibition runs until 29 Sep 2017 - 07 Jan 2018)
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum displays a series of five previously unseen sculptures by acclaimed artist Rachel Kneebone\, providing a resonant counterpoint to their exhibition Basic Instincts. \nRachel Kneebone is a British artist whose intricate works address and question the human condition. Raft of the Medusa’s tumbling limbs and fractured swags are at once coquettish and sinister; their gleaming white surfaces and exquisite detail belie scenes of collapse and dismemberment. \nUsing porcelain\, a delicate material traditionally associated with Rococo exuberance and fine tableware\, Kneebone subverts viewers’ expectations. Visibly exploiting the material properties of porcelain\, she deliberately allows her work to distort and crack in the kiln\, inviting the viewer to question the relationship between strength and vulnerability. \nThis display in the Museum’s historic rooms distils and abstracts the Foundling Hospital’s suppressed narratives of sexual desire\, emotional damage\, and female strength\, whilst also referencing ideas of displacement\, refuge\, and resilience. To discover more about Kneebone’s work\, hear the artist and Museum Director Caro Howell in conversation on Friday 6 October. \nFree entry with musuem admission\, click here for more information.

SUMMARY:On British Soil: Victims of Nazi Persecution in the Channel Islands (Exhibition runs from 19 October 2017 – 9 February 2018)
DESCRIPTION:“Everything that people thought they knew about the German occupation of the Channel Islands is – at best – partial and – at worst – inaccurate\,” explains co-curator Dr. Gilly Carr on the motivation for a new exhibition at The Wiener Library. \nDuring the German occupation of the Channel Islands 1940-1945\, many thousands of people were persecuted\, including slave labourers\, political prisoners and Jews. Their story has been largely omitted from a British narrative of ‘standing alone’ against Nazism and celebrations of British victory over Germany. \nOn British Soil – Victims of Nazi Persecution in the Channel Islands tells the stories of these persecuted\, drawing upon The Wiener Library’s rich archival collections\, files recently released by The National Archives\, and never seen before items from the personal collections of victims of Nazi persecution. \nFrom the experiences of a young Jewish woman living quietly on a farm in Jersey and later deported to Auschwitz\, to those of a Spanish forced labourer in Alderney\, and the story of a man from Guernsey whose death in a Nazi prison remained unknown to his family for over 70 years\, this exhibition highlights the lives of the persecuted and the post-war struggle to obtain recognition for their suffering. \nPlease visit The Wiener Library website for more information\, you can read the full press release here. \nOpening hours: Monday-Friday 10am-5pm\, Tuesdays: 10 am – 7:30pm\nFree entry \nProduced in collaboration with Dr. Gilly Carr of Cambridge University\, and with the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. \nImage credit: \n1) Hedwig Bercu © Jersey Archives\n2) © John Dalmau\, Slave Worker in the Channel Islands (1956)\, Wiener Library Collections

SUMMARY:Echoes from the Birdcage
DESCRIPTION:Echoes from the Birdcage is the world premiere of a new composition to emerge from Dame Evelyn Glennie’s time as the PRS Foundation and King’s Cross Musician in Residence\, written by Jill Jarman in collaboration with Dame Evelyn Glennie. \nEchoes from the Birdcage will be performed for the first time on Friday 22nd December 2017 at the Platform Theatre in Kings Cross\, with a 2:30pm matinee performance and a 7:30pm evening performance. Tickets are available to purchase online now from: http://bit.ly/EchoesFromTheBirdcage and are priced £10 (for concessions) and £18 (for adults). \nInformed and inspired by the sounds collected and shared by the King’s Cross community\, Echoes from the Birdcage tells a story of the place in six movements\, displaying all the different aspects of the area and how much it has changed through history. In Motion; Global Chant; and The Spaces in-between are just a few of the named movements. \nAn amazing sound world is created by percussionist Evelyn Glennie with an ensemble of musicians\, to bring to life the sounds and emotions of the transformation of King’s Cross. \nEvelyn Glennie said\, “These last few months have been a learning curve; connecting to the King’s Cross community has taught me so much about this place right at the heart of London\, so much so that I can say my relationship and appreciation of the area has expanded through this residency. I’m proud of the piece of music Jill [Jarman] has written – Echoes from the Birdcage – and believe it will have a lasting legacy not only in the King’s Cross area\, but hopefully as an inspirational piece that gets people thinking about the sound environment of their particular space.” \nMaxine Shannon\, Project Manager (Events & Enlivenment)\, Kings Cross said\, “We have been thrilled to work with Dame Evelyn as the King’s Cross Musician in Residence throughout 2017 and we are looking forward to seeing the culmination of her work during the final performance in December. It has been great to see the local community playing such an active role in the evolving arts and enlivenment programme at King’s Cross\, London’s new creative quarter.”   \nVanessa Reed\, Chief Executive\, PRS Foundation said\, “It has been fantastic to see Dame Evelyn Glennie and her team reach out to the schools\, workers and residents of Kings Cross this year and really get them thinking about\, and involved in\, the creation of new music and how their local environment can provide inspiration. These collaborations have shaped Evelyn’s new piece\, and we’re all very much looking forward to hearing it on 22nd December. ”

SUMMARY:Memento – Poet in the City and Aurora Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Technology has rapidly transformed the way we store memory and our very own relationship to this critical aspect of being human. What can music and poetry tell us about this dramatic shift in our everyday lives? \nIn this cross-disciplinary event\, Poet in the City and Aurora Orchestra uncover the story of a ground-breaking new technology that will enable us to remember more than ever before. Through the world premieres of electrically-charged new music and poetry\, they explore the question: what happens when matter\, music\, and language are placed under pressure? \nInspired by this question\, composer Martin Suckling and poet Frances Leviston have created electrically-charged new works that draw on the memory of two great artistic forbearers\, Franz Schubert and Emily Dickinson. Suckling explores the idea of music under pressure by echoing\, distorting\, and crystallising fragments of Schubert’s sublime String Quintet. Leviston references the voltage of Dickinson’s densely packed poems and wonders how Dickinson might have responded to this advance in technology. Experimental physicist Stuart Parkin\, one of the pioneers spearheading this new technology\, joins Suckling and Leviston to present his reflections. \nCommissioned by Bio Nano Consulting Ltd for the dissemination of PETMEM (Piezoelectronic Transduction Memory Device)\, a European Commission-funded project which brings together universities\, research institutions and companies to explore low-voltage memory technologies. \nTickets on sale now – KQ partners get 15% discount by using code Memento15. \npoetinthecity.co.uk\nauroraorchestra.com \nPhoto: Aurora Orchestra © Simon Weir

SUMMARY:“Caste discrimination in the UK” Documentary screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:The caste system has been a source of much debate in South Asia. But what happens when British Indians say caste discrimination has followed them overseas? \nCaste Aside is a documentary about the British government’s controversial decision to introduce legislation against caste discrimination in the UK. \nHighlighting both sides of this heated debate\, the documentary speaks to Dalit rights activists\, Hindu community leaders\, academics and lawyers\, as well as those who say they have been discriminated against on the basis of their caste – here in Britain. \nWhile some members of the British Indian community believe that making caste an aspect of the Equality Act 2010 would shine a negative light on the Hindu community and create social tension\, others believe that caste legislation is a necessary protection for victims. \nThe UK government has been torn between these two groups for years\, finally resulting in a public consultation to seek the views of the general public on the issue. With the consultation now complete\, both sides await a response. \nWith a big decision on the government’s hands\, Caste Aside highlights the bigger picture behind the public consultation and the story behind the UK’s caste problem. Who will the government ultimately believe? \nClick here for more information and to register to attend this screening.

SUMMARY:“Dangers and Delusions”? Perspectives on the women’s suffrage movement.
DESCRIPTION:Displaying items from UCL Special Collections\, this exhibition examines the actions and reactions attending the women’s suffrage movement from the 1860s up to the Representation of the People Act 1918. Satirical commentaries including Laurence Housman’s Anti-Suffrage Alphabet are set alongside campaign literature and petitions for and against legislative change. \nThe movement calling for women’s right to vote in the United Kingdom was drawn out over several decades and generated intense differences of opinion\, not only between those for and against electoral equality\, but also within pro- and anti-suffrage campaigns. This exhibition draws on items held in UCL Special Collections – satirical commentaries\, campaign literature\, personal notes and petitions – to examine the actions and reactions surrounding the case for universal suffrage\, from the 1860s up to the fi rst legislative step towards equality for women: the Representation of the People Act\, 1918.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: The Lost Words at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff and friends from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private breakfast views. It will be on this occasion hosted at the Foundling Museum. KQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive look at ‘The Lost Words‘ exploring the relationship between language and the living world through an exhibition of poetry and illustration. \nAbout The Lost Words \nThe Lost Words is a unique collaborative project between the award-winning author Robert Macfarlane\, and acclaimed artist and author Jackie Morris\, in response to their belief that nature is in retreat from our children’s stories and imaginations. The exhibition presents a new series of poems and accompanying illustrations that conjure the beauty of nature\, for visitors young and old. \nIn 2002 the results of a Cambridge University survey\, published in Science\, found that British schoolchildren were able to identify Pokémon far more accurately than species of common UK wildlife. In a 2008 National Trust survey\, only a third of primary age children could identify a magpie\, though nine out of ten could name a Dalek. This exhibition summons this vanishing wildness back into existence in a joyful celebration of nature words and the natural world they invoke. Robert Macfarlane has created twenty acrostic poems or ‘spells’ focused on common nature words that are fading from use as the species themselves decline\, while Jackie Morris\, inspired by her lifelong passion for Britain’s landscapes and wildlife\, has painted beautiful\, iridescent watercolours which take viewers on a journey in which the familiar is magical once more. \nThe Lost Words explores the widening gulf between childhood and the natural world in the 21st century\, but also speaks to an important aspect of the Foundling Hospital’s history and ethos. Items from the Hospital archive that relate to the importance placed on fresh air and the children’s education\, such as reading games and aids\, some with lost or archaic vocabulary\, are displayed alongside the artwork\, demonstrating the institution’s forward-thinking health and education practices. \nClick here to register for this event.

SUMMARY:Charles Holden Lecture with Dr Julia Walworth- 'The Sterling Library: 20th century Book Collecting and 21st century Book History'
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Senate House Library present their annual Holden Lecture with speaker Dr Julia Walworth\, Fellow Librarian of Merton College\, University of Oxford. \nThe Sterling Library​ started out as the private collection of Sir Louis Sterling (1879-1958)\, a wealthy businessman. When the collection arrived at the Senate House Library in 1956 it comprised more than 4000 rare printed books and manuscripts of English literary works from the middle ages to the twentieth century\, and it has now grown to more than 7000 volumes. \nIn this year’s Charles Holden Lecture\, Dr Julia Walworth will introduce some of these treasures and explore how the role and function of the Sterling Library has evolved — from a collection of ‘trophy books’ to an invaluable resource for the University’s many activities in the burgeoning field of the History of the Book. \nTo find out more and register for the lecture\, please click here. \nTo find out more and join the Friends of Senate House Library\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Over My Shoulder
DESCRIPTION:This project derives from from a curious connection between two very different and fascinating singers. Elisabeth Schumann\, international classical diva\, and Jessie Matthews\, darling of the 1930s stage and screen\, are buried in the same West London churchyard. \nEach of these women was hugely famous in her day\, reaching the very peak of the performing profession\, and yet their names are hardly recognised now by younger generations of music-lovers. Over My Shoulder sets out to remedy this by weaving together the lives of these two singers as an introduction to their music and artistry\, built around the unexpected intersection of their stories here in England. \nBoth Elisabeth and Jessie have rich personal stories as well as their musical careers. They experienced the ups and downs\, joys and challenges that the performing life unavoidably entails: there were romantic scandals\, tragedies\, falls from grace and triumphant come-backs. \nThe success of my first narrated recital Haydn’s London Ladies\, demonstrated how well-suited this style of speaking and singing is to combining a wide variety of musical items and historical anecdotes. Over My Shoulder includes music by Schubert to Rodgers & Hart\, taking us from Covent Garden to Hollywood and back via Richard Strauss\, Noël Coward and Otto Klemperer. \nThe first performance of Over My Shoulder was given at St Martin’s Church\, Ruislip on September 16th\, 2017\, in the presence of Elisabeth Schumann’s three grandchildren via her marriage to Walter Puritz. \nThe next performance will be at St Paul’s Church\, Wilton Place\, Knightsbridge on Thursday 15th February\, 2018 at 7.30pm. \nBook tickets or click here for more information.

SUMMARY:Bach\, the Universe & Everything – Seeing Life in a New Light
DESCRIPTION:Bach is often praised by scientists for the intricate structures and symmetries in his music. He wrote more than 200 cantatas\, a collection of vocal works which explore questions of faith\, time and eternity. Taking inspiration from Douglas Adams’ quote that ‘Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe’\, this unusual series from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The Institute of Physics at Kings Place swaps metaphysics for physics to celebrate extraordinary universe and the music of Bach with some of Britain’s brightest scientists. \nThe next event (Sunday 18th February) features one of Bach’s most spine-tingling cantatas. Mixing joyful arias with funeral sounds\, it’s a rollercoaster journey through life and death. The OAE are joined by Professor Kishan Dholakia. A world expert in the physics of light\, he’s fascinated by how photonic imaging can unravel the mysteries of the brain. \nClick here for more information and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Materials Protecting the Environment Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The second event in the Materials Protecting Society (MPS) Seminar Series. Organised by the IOM3 Sustainable Development Group. \nThere is a real challenge for materials scientists and engineers to understand how their expertise and professional practises can affect environmental performance and contribute towards more sustainable outcomes. In many cases the apparent solutions to solving one environmental impact can increased impacts in another part of the product life cycle or perhaps in another impact category. So how can we make informed decisions in materials selection and new material developments to ensure that progress and solutions are heading in the right direction. \nThis event will set out the challenge and inform the debate on the following critical environmental topics facing society: \n\nClimate change: transport\, building and construction\nOcean health: challenge of plastics and marine biodiversity\nCircular economy: business innovation\, resource efficiency and recycling\n\nThe sessions will include Q&A and will encourage discussion and contributions from the delegates. We recognised that measures for improvement will need further debate and we welcome this to help support strategies on the best way forward. \nFull programme and registration details can be found here.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Royal College of Physicians - Ceaseless Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff and friends from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private tours and views. It will be on this occasion hosted at The Royal College of Physicians. You are invited to an exclusive morning curator tour of the College’s new exhibit Ceaseless motion: William Harvey’s experiments in circulation. \nAbout the Exhibition \nJoin The Royal College of Physicians for a private view of their new exhibition. Opening January 2018\, coinciding with the Royal College of Physicians’ (RCP’s) 500th anniversary Ceaseless motion: William Harvey’s experiments in circulation and come explore the life\, work and legacy of revolutionary anatomist William Harvey – the physician who revealed the secrets of circulation. \nWilliam Harvey (1578–1657) was an anatomist and physician with an insatiable curiosity about the inner workings of all living creatures. Harvey lived through an extraordinary age of scientific revolution\, to which he would contribute with his own discovery on the heart and blood circulation. \nIn 1628\, after 10 years of painstaking solitary research\, Harvey at last published his discovery in a book\, known as De motu cordis. His idea\, that blood is pumped around the body by the heart in a state of ceaseless motion\, proved highly controversial to some\, challenging 1\,500 years of established scientific and medical belief. \nHarvey encouraged his fellow physicians ‘to search and study out the secrets of nature by way of experiment’. His legacy of curiosity\, research and discovery has had a lasting impact on the practice and science of medicine. This exhibition places William Harvey at the heart of the RCP as it celebrates its 500th anniversary. \nThe tour will be led by Public Programmes Officer Natalie Craven \, Natalie has worked as Public Programmes Officer at the Royal College of Physicians since 2016 aiding the creation of a number of exhibits. \nClick here to register for this event.

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:KQ Private View: Deconstructing patterns: Art and Science in conversation at The Francis Crick Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private breakfast views. It will be on this occasion hosted at The Francis Crick Institute. KQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive look at the Crick’s new exhibition Deconstructing patterns: Art and Science in conversation. \nAbout Deconstructing patterns: Art and Science in conversation. \nWhilst we are surrounded by patterns we can see with the naked-eye\, this exhibition provides an introduction to the surprising and beautiful world of microscopic patterns that can only be revealed by powerful tools and technologies. \nPresented over three ‘zones’\, Deconstructing patterns explores different molecular and cellular patterns studied at the Crick\, each one introduced by a unique artist commission. \nThe artworks offer an alternative way of visualising and describing the forms and functions that so intrigue our scientists. Within each zone\, visitors can listen in on conversations between artists and scientists as they reflect on different ways of seeing. \nPlacing discussions between artist and scientist at the heart of this exhibition offers a unique route in to understanding the fundamental role that patterns play in the growth and development of our own bodies. Deconstructing patterns also provides a window to the pioneering research carried out at the Crick. \nVisitors will enter an exquisite and fascinating world of microscopic patterns that are invisible to the naked eye and yet offer potentially life-changing scientific insights. \nClick here to register for this event.

SUMMARY:500 years of medicine. The future: population and personalised healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Join the Royal College of Physicians for a special free lecture\, part of the season marking its 500th anniversary\, reflecting on the history and future of medicine\, society and health. \nIn this event\, Sir Muir Gray looks at the future of medicine in the context of an ageing population\, and examines the shift from a focus on life expectancy to healthy life expectancy. \nEach year billions of pounds are being spent on regenerative and curative medicine\, while the research-led hunt for an elixir of life continues. Yet a crucial question remains unanswered: \nDo people really want to live to be 120?   \nSir Muir will argue that all of us\, both healthcare providers and individuals\, have to be focussed on living better longer rather than simply living longer.  The evidence exists that we can do this\, but that we first have to understand what is happening inside us. \nRegister for this event via Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Science and Innovation Audit Final KQ-Wide Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter has been selected as one of the third wave of Science and Innovation Audits. These are sponsored by government (BEIS) and their purpose is to investigate innovation capabilities and potentials in different parts of the UK. \nOur focus is on three main Themes (Life Sciences; Cultural\, Scientific and Heritage Collections; and Data Science) in a core geography that is defined as Camden and Islington. In this context\, we are seeking to evidence our major assets and opportunities. Some of these are obvious and well-known (e.g. Francis Crick Institute\, Alan Turing Institute\, British Library\, etc.) – but we think there are many firms and other (less well-known) organisations that are active in these fields\, and crucially\, that the links between organisations/firms hold particular potential in terms of future innovation. This part of central London is (rightly) being described as an innovation district – but through the SIA\, we need to evidence its expertise\, capacity and potential. \nWe would like to invite you to our second and final KQ-wide workshop which is being held on the 5 April at the British Library. We will present the first results of our SIA and discuss with partners potential recommendations and next steps. \nThe workshop will be interactive and (we hope) enjoyable. We hope very much that you will be able to come. \nClick here to book your place via Eventbrite.
