SUMMARY:Sustainability and Climate Change: TFL Masterclass on efficient deliveries
DESCRIPTION:Deliveries in and out of the Knowledge Quarter have a substantial environmental footprint. It’s time we did something about it.\nTransport for London will lead a hands-on\, action-planning masterclass for Knowledge Quarter partners to get under the skin of the problem.\nDeliveries contribute to the congestion on Euston Road\, reduce air quality (35% of all road-based Nitrogen Oxide emissions in Greater London are from freight!) and impact the wellbeing of our employees and students\, not to mention the fact that inefficient deliveries are probably costing your organisation time and money. \nSo\, what’s your freight footprint? And how can we in the Knowledge Quarter reduce it by working together? \nIn this morning masterclass\, hosted by Impact Hub King’s Cross\, TfL will introduce simple but effective solutions from their Efficient Deliveries toolkits for business. The masterclass will explore best practices with your deliveries and\, in interactive workshop format\, help you identify opportunities for your organisation to save time and money\, improving air quality and the public realm in the process. \nIdeas the masterclass will explore couple inspiration with simple\, achievable steps that have been proven to make a tangible difference. These include: \n\nreducing the impact of personal deliveries\nstreamlining when business waste is collected\nand receiving deliveries outside of the busiest times.\n\n\n  \nThe masterclass will be delivered by Clive Wanstall and Libby Gibson from TfL’s Travel Demand Management team. Libby and Clive have extensive experience working with businesses from small independents\, to large chains such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s to reduce congestion across London\, supporting progressive change in deliveries and servicing\, alongside active travel and smart commuting. The have recently delivered workshops to businesses along Old Street\, Fitzrovia\, Hatton Garden\, Aldgate\, Waterloo and Southwark. \nTo attend the workshop\, you must first declare your interest with a Knowledge Quarter team member. \nTime and Place\nFriday 27 September\, 9:00-11:00.\nImpact Hub King’s Cross. \nWho should attend?\nThis workshop is aimed at managers and team leaders from within our membership working in Estates\, Logistics\, Waste\, Procurement and Sustainability. \nWhy attend?\nGet better connected with individuals from different organisations in the area who are working in the supply chain\, whether they are from Estates\, Logistics\, Procurement\, Waste or Sustainability. \nAnd if that isn’t tempting enough\, how does saving the planet sound? \n\nDid you know…?\nBond Street businesses reduced waste vehicle movements by 94 per cent\, and experienced a 76 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent and nitrogen oxides following implementing a delivery reduction scheme.\n\nWe believe individuals working within the supply chain have enormous power to affect positive change in the way organisations confront the Climate Emergency. The Knowledge Quarter is a test-bed for innovation\, a model of collaborative working\, so join us as we come together to reduce our collective carbon footprint. \n

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Sustainability Roundtable: The Plastic Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Plastic is everywhere.\nWhen we talk about the plastic crisis we no longer simply mean unsightly plastic bottles lying half submerged along river banks\, or the plastic bags caught in trees\, or the six-pack yokes that trap unfortunate birds. Plastic is ubiquitous; It is in the air we breathe\, the water we drink and the food we eat. \nOur Sustainability Roundtable on the subject will examine the problem from several perspectives. We will hear from professionals on the front lines of the crisis; recycling experts\, scientists\, and individuals pushing for change in their organisations. \nThe roundtable format allows for ideas to be shared between Knowledge Quarter partners. Has your organisation cut single-use plastics from its canteen? Is your organisation implementing a more effective recycling policy? Join our roundtable and share your insights with fellow KQ partners. Our intention is for everyone to leave with a greater appreciation of what can be done and what should be done in your organisation\, as well as a greater awareness of the problem to share with friends and family. \nProgramme: TBC \n24 September 2019\, 08:30-10:30\nInstitute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining  \n*Please note: This event was previously scheduled to take place on Wednesday 11 September 2019. It has been changed to Tuesday 24 September 2019 owing to speaker availability.  \nWho should attend?\nYou must work for a Knowledge Quarter partner organisation. Please register with your organisational email. We understand their is enormous interest in this issue\, and all staff are welcome to attend. However\, please consult with your organisation’s Sustainability/Green teams prior to registering to make sure your organisation is not overrepresented. \nSee here for a full list of our partners. 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. \nWhy attend?\nMeet other Green and Sustainability leads and individuals passionate about our environmental impact in the Knowledge Quarter. Share best practice and ideas around reducing plastic in your organisation. Learn about and collaborate on initiatives to clean up our environment.

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. The Gallery’s aim is to present and promote cultures from these regions and to be a student resource and public facility.

SUMMARY:Pertti’s Choice popup
DESCRIPTION:Pertin Valinta\, or Pertti’s Choice in English\, is Finland’s first social enterprise owned by people with learning disabilities.\nIt was founded by the members of the punk band Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day to support the careers of disabled artists. It will open its doors for a three-day popup in London’s Shoreditch on 8-10 August this summer. The Pertti’s Choice popup will showcase Finnish and British Outsider art\, alongside a vegan café with music performances and products available to buy. \nThe art element of the experience will include: \n\n\n\na VR exhibition\, Inside Outside Finland\, which takes the viewer to four Outsider art environments in Finland\nportraits by visual artist Tanya Raabe-Webber\,\ndrawings by Pertti Kurikka’s alter ego Kalevi Helvetti\nphotographs of Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day international tours.\n\n\n\nThe popup will see gigs by Kalevi Helvetti\, the groove jazz artist Kalle Salonen\, singer Eeva Lusenius\, Rudewolf\, DJ Miika and the Brighton band Zombie crash. \nThe team from Pertti’s Choice will be accompanied by staff members of the much loved IPI café in Helsinki’s Kallio district. Their mission will be to serve quality coffee\, while introducing a model for employing disabled people. \n“There is great interest in the UK towards the Finnish model\, and this popup aims to develop international networks of disabled people”\, says Emilie Gardberg\, director of the Finnish Institute in London. The institute is bringing the popup to London together with its partners. \nOne of the main aims of Pertti’s Choice is to create a model for facilitating the employment of disabled people in the cultural sector. At present\, artists’ earnings can affect benefits so a successful artist may even be in danger of losing their supported housing. The situation in Britain is similar\, and many activists in the sector are working to find a solution with models like Pertti’s Choice. \nFind out more here.\nAbout the Finnish Institute in London\nThe Finnish Institute in London is an expert on Finnish culture and society\, working in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The Institute supports the internationalisation of Finnish contemporary art and helps artists\, researchers and social and cultural actors to create international networks.
