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: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/

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.

SUMMARY:Turing Lecture: AI through the looking glass
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Dame Wendy Hall \nAI through the looking glass \nArtificial Intelligence is set to transform society in the coming decades in ways that have long been predicted by science fiction writers but are only now becoming feasible. \nWhile AI is still a long way from being as powerful as the human brain\, many machines can now outperform human beings\, particularly when it comes to analysing large amounts of data. This will lead to many jobs being replaced by automated processes and machines. \nAs with all major technological revolutions\, such advancements bring with it unexpected opportunities and challenges for society with a need to consider the ethical\, accountability and diversity impacts. \nIn this talk\, Wendy Hall will lay out why we need to take a socio-technical approach to every aspect of the evolution of AI in society. She will also consider how the UK might position itself\, in light of the AI Review\, recently undertaken as part of the UK government’s industrial strategy. \nAs Alice found when she went through the looking glass\, everything is not always what it first appears to be. \nSpeaker Biography  \nWendy Hall\, DBE\, FRS\, FREng is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton and was Dean of the Faculty of Physical Science and Engineering from 2010 to 2014. She was Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) from 2002 to 2007 and is now a director of the Web Science Institute. \nOne of the first computer scientists to undertake serious research in multimedia and hypermedia\, she has been at its forefront ever since. The influence of her work has been significant in many areas including digital libraries\, the development of the Semantic Web\, and the emerging research discipline of Web Science. \nIn addition to playing a prominent role in the development of her subject\, she continues to shape science and engineering policy and education. Through her leadership roles on national and international bodies\, she has shattered many glass ceilings\, readily deploying her position to promote the role of women in science\, engineering and technology\, and acting as an important role model for others. \nShe became a Dame Commander of the British Empire in the 2009\, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in the same year. \nWendy was elected President of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in July 2008\, and was the first person from outside North America to hold this position. \nClick here to register.

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. ”
