SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter and Scene & Heard: A special performance of Writeback
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite Knowledge Quarter partners\, staff and friends to a special drinks reception and performance of Writeback by Scene & Heard. \nScene & Heard is a unique mentoring project that partners the inner-city children of Somers Town\, London with volunteer theatre professionals. It gives children intensive\, one-to-one adult attention\, enabling them to write plays which are then performed by professional actors. \nWriteback is Scene & Heard’s latest performance – the result of work from young writers and older Member playwrights who visited the Knowledge Quarter and its institutions as inspiration for their work. \nThe Writeback course was held at Knowledge Quarter partner The Foundling Museum and the final performance is a direct response to objects in the Collection and the story of the Foundling Hospital. \nwww.sceneandheard.org \n“If you are glum about the state of the world and haven’t laughed in weeks\, recover some hope by seeking out a performance from Scene and Heard. This Somers Town scheme gives intensive\, targeted help to children in difficulties. It increases confidence\, helps make strong relationships\, teaches team work and co-operation\, and brings out hidden creative potential. It commits to its members\, sticking with them through their school life and into young adulthood. It is effective and\, unlike other worthy interventions\, it comes with songs\, dances and jokes. It is huge fun for everyone involved – I think that is the secret of its success.” Dame Hilary Mantel\, Scene & Heard Patron \n“This is theatre of the highest quality: imaginative\, inspirational and above all huge fun” Michael Sheen\, Scene & Heard Patron \nRegistration: Please click here to book your place.

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:Restless Shadow: Dickens the Campaigner Exhibition (9 May to 29 October 2017)
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens was a novelist who addressed social ills in his fiction. He was also a journalist and activist who boldly and imaginatively campaigned to improve the lives of the most desperate and overlooked in Victorian society. \nThe exhibition Restless Shadow explores a largely unknown and under-rated body of Dickens’s work that speaks plainly to social justice with energy and relevance—both then and now. It reveals his keen interest in ‘street level’ problems along with other Victorian reformers such as Florence Nightingale and Angela Burdett-Coutts. It shows the practical\, hands-on solutions which flowed from his campaigns. \nDickens was especially powerful in pioneering new forms of investigative reporting and satirical exposé. As a young journalist and shorthand-writer with the pen-name ‘Boz’\, he honed a peerless style of urban description\, combining humour\, pathos and a heightened kind of graphic realism. In his artistic maturity as a journalist\, editor and speech-maker\, Dickens drew the attention of a huge and diverse international readership to an astonishingly broad range of campaigns. \nThe exhibitions runs until Sunday 29th October 2017\, click here for more information. \ndickensmuseum.com

SUMMARY:'Boissonnas and Egypt' conference
DESCRIPTION:The Boissonnas and Egypt conference will present different perspectives on the context of 1920s Egypt in relation to Boissonnas’s work and explore wider debates around photography and cultural geography. The conference will be followed by a private view of the Boissonnas in Egypt exhibition from 17.30-19.30. \nSpeakers include: \n\nProfessor Oriana Baddeley (University of the Arts London)\nDr George Manginis (Benaki Museum)\nDr Christina Riggs (University of East Anglia)\nDr Ahmed Shams (Durham University)\nDr Estelle Sohier (Université de Genève)\n\nUniversity of the Arts London are pleased to offer Knowledge Quarter partners reduced student priced tickets at £10.00 (normal ticket price is £35.00)\, please click here to book your place. \nLunch and refreshments are included in the ticket price. \nwww.saintcatherinefoundation.org \n______________ \nThe Boissonnas in Egypt exhibition\n\nFred Boissonnas (1858-1946) was invited to Egypt in 1929 by King Fuad I to take photographs for the lavish publication L’Egypte (1932)\, and he returned to complete his Egyptian journey in 1933. During the later trip he embarked on a photographic expedition to Mount Sinai\, following the route of the Israelites as recorded in the book of Exodus\, and photographing the traditional biblical sites that he encountered on his journey. This work became the book project he never finished. Boissonnas in Egypt focuses on the photographic work for both books\, visually exploring the complex histories of the newly formed ‘modern’ state (following Britain’s unilateral declaration of Egyptian independence) and the photographer’s own search for inspiration in the deserts of Sinai.

SUMMARY:The Data Debate: AI: Where Science meets Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:From Blade Runner\, Siri and sexbots\, to the writings of Jules Verne\, HG Wells and Asimov’s I\, Robot\, it can feel like the lines between science and science fiction are becoming increasingly blurred. \nHow far away is modern tech from catching up with visions of the future previously only imagined in science fiction? What are the real and imagined implications of artificial intelligence on society and our everyday lives? Is science fiction a useful lens to view the advances in artificial intelligence through? And are we too prone to view the AI future in dystopian terms? \nTimandra Harkness (chair) is a science journalist specialising in data. She presents the BBC Radio 4 series\, FutureProofing and Bloomsbury published her book\, Big Data: Does Size Matter? in June 2016. \nLaurie Penny is an award-winning journalist\, essayist\, public speaker\, writer\, activist\, internet nanocelebrity and author of six books.

SUMMARY:Becoming China: Great Learning or Apocalyptic Risk
DESCRIPTION:China’s future matters. But as Xi Jinping pursues the dream of a new order at home and abroad\, the West is struggling to understand the nature of what is proving to be a bigger idea with wider implications for the world. \nIs China now a civilisational advance\, drawing on millennia of political thought and a hundred years of trial and error? Or is it perpetuating\, and now exporting\, a unique civilisational error that has repeatedly collapsed its past and drove some of its greatest minds to two 20th century revolutions? \nFor the wider world\, the questions have acquired practical importance. As China proves that innovation is not a monopoly of the West\, is it going to lead the world into a new era of Taiping heavenly peace and widespread Xiaokang moderate prosperity\, connected by belts\, roads\, polar rings and Chinese online everything? Or\, as the Party-State tightens its controls\, and its tech giants battle to lead an artificially intelligent world\, is the idea of Truth as Practice – truth as a determined creation of the future rather than any searing revelations of the past – going to raise not only the risk of yet another dynastic collapse but of the ultimate 21st century fear\, that of a human world lost to a single top down mind? \nExploring these questions through the history that led to the present-day state\, Jeanne-Marie\, author of Becoming China: The Story Behind the State (Bloomsbury\, 2017) will suggest that we have much to discover about ourselves. \nFor more information and to book a place click here.

SUMMARY:Elephant Path presents: Economy & Skills Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the launch of a book that uniquely combines local economy\, community engagement and changing neighbourhoods. The publication explains the reasoning behind experiments conducted over the past 18 months in Barcelona\, Berlin\, Antwerp and London and captures valuable lessons for community activists\, policy makers\, researchers\, planners as well as local business people. \nThe book will be launched on Thursday 9 November 2017 at 7pm at Wellcome Collection (Burroughs Room)\, 183 Euston Road\, NW1 2BE with a short talk by Michael Edwards (Senior Lecturer\, Economics of Planning at UCL Bartlett School & Hon Prof) followed by drinks and snacks during which there will be an opportunity to meet representatives from the 4 cities: Transit from Barcelona\, Tesserae from Berlin\, endeavour from Antwerp and City Mine(d) from London. \nIn La Marina in Barcelona\, Mehringplatz in Berlin\, Oudaan/Sint Andries in Antwerp and King’s Cross/Somers Town in London these groups developed and supported local initiatives that require\, reveal\, create and improve very different types of skills: from the harder skills of understanding urban spatial and economic development schemes to the softer ones dealing with group dynamic and interpersonal relations. In a later stage they asked what these skills could mean in a future world of work. \nThis project was coordinated by City Mine(d) and is part of Elephant Path\, a bridge between large companies and locals in the Kings Cross/Somers Town area\, and was co-founded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. \nClick here for more information and to book a place.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: Scythians at the British Museum
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 British Museum. KQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive look at Scythians warriors of ancient Siberia\, the British Museum’s new blockbuster exhibition. \nAbout Scythians warriors of ancient Siberia \n2\,500 years ago groups of formidable warriors roamed the vast open plains of Siberia. Feared\, loathed\, admired – but over time forgotten… Until now. \nThis major exhibition explores the story of the Scythians – nomadic tribes and masters of mounted warfare\, who flourished between 900 and 200 BC. Their encounters with the Greeks\, Assyrians and Persians were written into history but for centuries all trace of their culture was lost – buried beneath the ice. \nDiscoveries of ancient tombs have unearthed a wealth of Scythian treasures. Amazingly preserved in the permafrost\, clothes and fabrics\, food and weapons\, spectacular gold jewellery – even mummified warriors and horses – are revealing the truth about these people’s lives. These incredible finds tell the story of a rich civilisation\, which eventually stretched from its homeland in Siberia as far as the Black Sea and even the edge of China. \nMany of the objects in this stunning exhibition are on loan from the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Scientists and archaeologists are continuing to discover more about these warriors and bring their stories back to life. \nExplore their lost world and discover the splendour\, the sophistication and the sheer power of the mysterious Scythians. \nRegistration: Please click here to book your place.

SUMMARY:Seen and not heard: the untold history of homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Cardboard chronicles — writing the homeless into history \nThe scourge of homelessness and rough sleeping have been around for centuries\, yet the stories of people who lack access to housing\, sustenance or security are largely missing from the history books. \nOn 22 November\, theatre company Cardboard Citizens\, in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) at the School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, will challenge researchers\, activists\, actors and artists to answer the question\, ‘How can we find ways to listen to the voices of those who lack access to housing\, sustenance or security?’. \n‘Seen and not heard: the untold history of homelessness’\, which takes place in London’s Whitechapel from 6.30 – 9.30\, will engage the public in a debate about how history has shaped the way we relate to homeless people in the present. \nThis timely conversation\, one of the events in School of Advanced Study’s Being Human festival\, includes contributions from Cardboard Citizens’ artistic director Adrian Jackson\, Dr Mark Price\, a philosopher and official biographer of artist\, Robert Lenkiewicz; and artist and book designer Esther McManus. \nDuring the evening a short theatre production based (verbatim) on Robert Lenkiewicz’s previously unpublished survey will relate compelling stories of rough sleepers in Plymouth during the 1970s. These recorded testimonies reveal the tenacity and struggle of people on the margins of British society. Tickets\, priced £5\, can be booked here with all proceeds going to Cardboard Citizens. \nThe ‘Seen and not heard: the untold history of homelessness’ workshop is part of the IHR’s ‘Stray Voices: The Unsettled History of Homelessness’ project\, which explores the buried stories of homeless men and women whose voices are overlooked in the historical record. \nhttps://beinghumanfestival.org/event/seen-not-heard-untold-history-homelessness/

SUMMARY:Annual Lecture 2017: The Tale of Three Spiritual Cities
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed historian Dr Bettany Hughes will deliver this year’s Candida Lycett Green Lecture\nJoin the Churches Conservation Trust this November as their Vice President\, acclaimed historian and broadcaster\, Dr Bettany Hughes\, weaves a tale of one the world’s greatest – and most ancient – cities. \nThe city with three names – Byzantium\, Constantinople\, Istanbul – resonates as an idea\, as well as a place. Standing as the gateway between the East and West\, this city has served as the capital of the Roman\, Byzantine\, Latin and Ottoman Empires. \nBettany’s lecture is based on the extensive research undertaken to write her epic biography of Istanbul from 6\,000BC to 1924. In particular\, she will investigate the story of religion and faith in this\, the centre of Christendom\, and civilisation’s desire to understand the world in spiritual terms. \nThe audience will have a chance to ask Bettany their questions\, purchase a copy of her latest book Istanbul and enjoy light refreshments during a drinks reception included in the ticket price. \nKnowledge Quarter partner Churches Conservation Trust would like to offer Knowledge Quarter partners members’ rates on tickets. \nThe Annual Lecture is held each year in celebration of the life and work of the late Candida Lycett Green\, a passionate champion of historic English churches and former Vice President of The Churches Conservation Trust. \nRegistration: Please click here to book your place.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Life on the London Stage 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 tours and views. It will be on this occasion hosted at the London Metropolitan Archives. You are invited to an exclusive morning curator tour of the Archive’s new exhibit Life on the London Stage. \nLife on the London Stage is a new exhibition at London Metropolitan Archives which uncovers the lives of some of the actors and actresses recorded in our archives\, capturing both professional and personal details that provide a glimpse of the challenges and joys of theatrical life since the days of Elizabeth I. \nDrawing on a wide variety of photographs\, prints and documents\, we have brought together a collection of stories which illustrate different aspects of the lives of London’s performers\, from those who achieved great success to those who endured poverty and hardship. \nDocuments recording the life of Edmund Shakespeare\, William’s forgotten brother\, appear together for the first time presenting the seemingly tragic story of the young actor who followed his older brother to London. \nLedgers and letters document the lives of some of London’s most celebrated stars\, including Kenneth Williams\, Dame Ellen Terry and Eliza (Madam) Vestris. The houses associated with Nell Gwyn\, surely one of London’s greatest rags to riches stories\, are presented alongside Sir Laurence Olivier’s bespoke orders from one of the capital’s most prestigious boot makers. \nPlease Note\, there are only 15 places for this event. Please only register if you are confident you will be able to attend on the day. \nRegistration: Please click here to book your place.
