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:‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine
DESCRIPTION:“Is there not a much better thing for women than to be ‘medical men’ and that is to be medical women? Has not the cart been put before the horse in this women’s medical movement?” \n Florence Nightingale\, 1871\n\nWhen thinking of female doctors\, most people’s minds turn to 19th century pioneers such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. This view\, however\, masks a much longer and richer story of women in medicine stretching back through time. \nFemale apothecaries\, herbalists\, writers of medicinal recipes\, midwives – and of course doctors – have all worked within a male-dominated world for many centuries. Yet their roles have often been purposely obscured and frequently provoked fierce debate. \nThis September England and Wales’ oldest royal medical college\, the Royal College of Physicians\, marks its 500th anniversary with a major new exhibition that confounds prevailing notions of female participation in the medical professions and wider society. ‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine runs from 19 September 2018 to 18 January 2019. \nTaking its title from the comments of a progressive Victorian male medical student who lamented the physical violence with which some of his peers reacted to the ‘vexed question’ of women training to be doctors\, the exhibition explores the intriguing stories\, and battles\, of famous and forgotten female figures from more than half a millennium of medical practice. Highlights of the exhibition include: Britain’s first female doctors?\, Women persecuted for practising medicine and Midwives and apothecaries. \nAs well as a whole range of events including walking tours\, exhibition tours and a public programme.

SUMMARY:Ladies of Quality & Distinction at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum present a landmark exhibition highlighting the hidden stories of women in the Foundling Hospital’s history.\nMarking 100 years of female suffrage\, Ladies of Quality & Distinction resets the focus of the Foundling Hospital story\, revealing portraits and stories of the remarkable women who supported both the establishment and the running of London’s Foundling Hospital. Despite its male face\, women permeate every aspect of the Hospital story; as mothers\, supporters\, wet nurses\, staff\, apprentice masters\, artists\, musicians\, craftsmen and foundlings. Yet for almost 300 years\, history has placed these women as a footnote to the story. \nThis exhibition brings these overlooked stories to the fore. Discover portraits of the ‘ladies of quality and distinction’ who in 1735 signed Thomas Coram’s original petition to King George II calling for the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. Displayed together for the first time\, these paintings replace the portraits of male governors in the Picture Gallery. \nDownstairs in the exhibition gallery\, the lives of the women who supported the day-to-day running of the institution are brought to life. Highlights include Mrs Prudence West\, a female inspector and the only woman to run a branch Hospital; Miss Eleanor Barnes\, one of the earliest female Governors; and Mrs Elizabeth Leicester\, an early matron of the Foundling Hospital who oversaw some of its most challenging years.

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:Knowledge Quarter Private View: I am Ashurbanipal at the British Museum
DESCRIPTION:Warrior. Scholar. Empire builder. King slayer. Lion hunter. Librarian. Take a closer look at the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. \nKing Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669–c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’\, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire\, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains of western Iran. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nAshurbanipal proved himself worthy of protecting his people through displays of strength\, such as hunting lions. Like many rulers of the ancient world\, he liked to boast about his victories in battle and brutally crushed his enemies. However\, this vast and diverse empire was controlled through more than just brute force. Ashurbanipal used his skills as a scholar\, diplomat and strategist to become one of Assyria’s greatest rulers. \nDespite his long and successful reign\, Ashurbanipal’s death is shrouded in mystery. Shortly afterwards\, the Assyrian empire fell and the great city of Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC\, its ruins lost to history until the 1840s. Their rediscovery has allowed us to piece together a portrait of the powerful and complex ruler that was Ashurbanipal. \nThis major exhibition tells the story of Ashurbanipal through the British Museum’s unparalleled collection of Assyrian treasures and rare loans. Step into Ashurbanipal’s world through displays that evoke the splendour of his palace\, with its spectacular sculptures\, sumptuous furnishings and exotic gardens. Marvel at the workings of Ashurbanipal’s great library\, the first in the world to be created with the ambition of housing all knowledge under one roof. Come face to face with one of history’s greatest forgotten kings. \nBook your ticket here.

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

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

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: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.
