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:Charles Dickens: Man of Science
DESCRIPTION:In 1839\, the writer and physiologist George Henry Lewes visited Charles Dickens at Doughty Street and examined his bookshelves. He left accusing Dickens of being ‘completely outside philosophy\, science\, and the higher literature’. For over 150 years\, it was thought that Charles Dickens was either not interested in science\, or was downright hostile to it. But Dickens’s science was not the science of books or learned institutions; for Dickens\, science mattered when it transformed lives by curing disease or cleaning streets\, or opening up new vistas of wonder in a humdrum world. \nCharles Dickens: Man of Science aims to reveal Dickens not only as a scientific enthusiast\, but as the key communicator of science in the Victorian age. Displaying his writings alongside artefacts\, instruments\, and texts of the developing sciences\, we share the story of Dickens’s friendships and scientific passions. Journeying through some of Dickens’s favourite sciences – geology\, thermodynamics\, chemistry\, and medicine – we reveal that what made him a great writer was precisely what made him a man of science. \nFind out more here

SUMMARY:Sea - Jodie Carey at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:Commissioned by the Foundling Museum\, Jodie Carey has created three new site-responsive installations in response to the Foundling Hospital story. Displayed within the exhibition gallery and amongst the historic Collection\, these monumental pieces are imbued with a sense of remembrance and emotional trace. \nDrawing inspiration from the eighteenth-century fabric tokens left by mothers with their babies as a means of identification – one of the few tangible connections between mother and child – Sea is formed of hundreds of swatches of fabric that have been dipped in liquid clay and fired. These delicate ceramic fragments cover the exhibition gallery floor. Upstairs\, two monumental works cast in the earth explore ideas of memory and time. Eighteen life-size plaster sculptures crowd the Anteroom\, while in the Foyer a delicate and slender bronze sculpture stands floor to ceiling. \nCarey’s abstract and organic works seek to make visible the fragility of life and human relationships\, to acknowledge the absent presence of the thousands of children who passed through the Foundling Hospital\, and to reflect on the elemental drives at the heart of its story; love\, loss\, and survival. \nJoin the conversation #JodieCarey.

SUMMARY:Richard Woods - Upgrade
DESCRIPTION:On 1 June\, in a parking space in East London\, North London\, Richard Woods create Upgrade – a month-long site-specific installation that engages with issues of housing and urban regeneration. \nLike Wood’s contribution to the 2017 Folkestone Triennial\, Upgrade uses the form of a graphic three-dimensional caricature of a house to bring a fresh perspective to its urban location. \n\n‘I had been filling a skip with all the leftover material that we had used to build the Holiday Homes on the Folkestone Harbour Arm\, and it struck me how potent an image it made – having bits of window or chimney poking out of the skip. In the studio\, we chatted about whether it would be possible to expand the idea and make it into an object – and then out of the blue Lee emailed and introduced the project. We quickly realised we’d both had the same idea. It was the easiest pitch I have ever had to make…’

SUMMARY:London 1938: Defending 'Degenerate' German Art
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Library’s summer 2018 exhibition explores the history and context of an exhibition held in 1938 at the New Burlington Galleries in London entitled Twentieth Century German Art.  \n2018 marks the eightieth anniversary of this exhibition\, which was the most prominent international response to the Nazi campaign against ‘degenerate’ art. It remains the largest display of twentieth-century German art ever staged in Britain.The show featured over three hundred examples of modern German art\, by exactly those artists who had faced persecution in Germany: the exhibition in London in 1938 was an attempt to defend them and their work on a world stage. \nThe Wiener Library’s exhibition tells the story of the Third Reich’s campaign against ‘degenerate’ art and this response in London in 1938. The exhibition features a number of the original artworks from the New Burlington Galleries’ exhibition\, including works by Emil Nolde and Max Slevogt\, presented with the stories of their lenders in 1938. The show will also include items from The Wiener Library’s unique archival collections. \nFind out more information here.

SUMMARY:500 years of medicine. Today: Are teenagers really irrational?
DESCRIPTION:On the face of it\, teenagers can seem as though they behave irrationally and impulsively\, taking excessive risks. Yet neuroscience reveals that something much more complex may be going on.  Join Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore of UCL as she explains her research into the development of the adolescent brain in humans. \nOver the last twenty years neuroscience research has shown that the human brain develops both structurally and in the way it works during adolescence. Areas of the social brain undergo significant reorganization during this crucial second decade. These major changes may in turn reflect a particularly sensitive period for adapting to the social environment.  \nWhilst adolescence brings risks and vulnerabilities (particularly to mental ill health)\, it is also a crucial period of opportunities\, as the social brain reorganises itself in preparation for adulthood. \nThese major findings from the work of cognitive neuroscience have wide-ranging implications for how we structure public health and education to best meet the needs of today’s teenagers and tomorrow’s adults.  \nOf equal interest to parents and teenagers\, teachers\, medical professionals and anyone with a stake in the future\, this event is open to everyone. \nThe Royal College of Physicians presents this fascinating free lecture as part of a season marking its 500th anniversary\, reflecting on the history and future of medicine\, society and health. \nSarah-Jayne Blakemore is Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL. She is Leader of the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Group and Deputy Director of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.  \nProfessor Blakemore is actively involved in public engagement with science activities and has an interest in the links between neuroscience and education. She also worked with Company Three on their play\, Brainstorm\, written and performed by teenagers\, which was shown at the National Theatre in London. \nProgramme \n6pm – Arrival refreshments (tea and coffee) \n6.30pm –  Lecture starts \n7.30pm –  Lecture finishes \n Tickets can be reserved here

SUMMARY:Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times
DESCRIPTION:The Culture Capital Exchange is delighted to announce its summer symposium: Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times. \nAt a point where our futures feel arguably increasingly uncertain and volatile\, and where atmospheres of anxiety are pervasive\, Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times provides a space to take time to talk\, take stock and reflect on how we might imagine and indeed create conditions for positive change. With plenary sessions\, panel discussions\, workshops and a walk\, this event sets out to act as a space where questions on the creative possibilities as well as the civic duties and responsibilities of institutions and organisations can be mooted. \nFurthermore it invites us to consider how we might sensitise ourselves to the needs of seemingly diffuse and disparate\, yet intensely related issues and concerns\, such as identity and environment? How might we do this better and what is that we need in order to do so? Knowledge\, imagination\, generosity\, tenacity\, new ways of working/seeing or hearing\, abilities to affect or mobilise change\, abilities to reset\, withdraw and reboot? Such are the questions that will be attempted. We cordially invite you to join us but we can only guarantee that we will leave with more questions than we start with. \nAfter the symposium\, delegates are invited to stay  for the launch of TCCE’s new report Revealing Collaborative Values that documented our recently completed project\, National Academics and Creatives Exchange (The Exchange)\, funded by ACE and HEFCE between 2015 – 2017. \nThe symposium agenda will be announced in mid-June.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of Fashion Film
DESCRIPTION:ONE-DAY CONFERENCE HOSTED AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS \nHow did early 20th century cinema present and represent fashion\, and how does this historical material relate to contemporary fashion film? This one-day conference investigates new methods\, topics and themes at the interface of three fields: media archaeology\, fashion history\, and film studies. The conference looks at two parallel moments of fashion and film in the early 20th and 21st centuries\, when the emergence and intensification of new technologies of the image began to impact the culture and commerce of fashion. It aims to bring early cinema into conversation with current forms of digital aesthetics and to investigate its various materials\, screens and genres\, as well as the means of their production\, circulation and consumption\, that may inspire new ways to understand fashion film. \nPROGRAMME \nFeaturing speakers from a range of disciplines spanning film\, fashion and media studies\, the conference includes a screening of rare early fashion film curated by Lucy Moyse Ferreira and a creative industry panel discussion chaired by Marketa Uhlirova\, director of the Fashion in Film Festival. The closing plenary session pulls together the various strands of the day. \nSPEAKERS \nProfessor Wanda Strauven (keynote speaker) \nGoethe University Frankfurt\nText\, Texture\, Textile: A Media-Archaeological Mapping of Fashion and Film \nBeatrice Behlen\nMuseum of London\nFloating chiffon and misty tulle: the Materiality of Fashion in Motion \nNick Rees-Roberts\nUniversity of Paris – Sorbonne Nouvelle\nBetween Promotion and Criticality: The Paradox of Contemporary Fashion Film \nPLENARY SESSION\nChris Breward (chair)\nNational Galleries of Scotland \nCaroline Evans\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nLucy Moyse Ferreira\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nJussi Parikka \nWinchester School of Art\, Southampton University \nMarketa Uhlirova\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Holloway Prison at the Islington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Holloway Prison has been an important landmark in Islington for over 150 years. Thousands of women passed through its doors until it closed in 2016. This exhibition explores their stories. \nWell-known prisoners have been held at the prison\, but there are many voices which remain unknown and unrecorded. This exhibition at Islington Museum explores stories of this highly significant place. \nHighlights of the exhibition include a prison door from the original Holloway ‘Castle’\, when it was a ‘terror to evil doers’\, a suffragette hunger-strike medal\, a prison bed from the modern prison and a banner made by Sisters Uncut who occupied part of the prison following its closure. \nThe exhibition also explores what may happen next on the site –and asks visitors to think what kind of legacy there should be to follow a place with such depth of history. \nAbout the project  \nThis project\, run by Islington Heritage\, in collaboration with Holloway Prison Stories and Middlesex University\, seeks to capture stories of this highly significant place meaning that\, even when it has gone\, the voices and echoes of Holloway Prison will remain. \nCheck out their comprehensive events schedule as part of the project here. \nOpen Monday – Saturday 10am-5pm (closed Wednesday and Sunday)

SUMMARY:Women and Children Firsts - Guided Walk
DESCRIPTION:In Victorian Britain\, a women’s place was considered to be in the home and children were treated as “expendable”. On this walk through some of Bloomsbury’s Squares\, we hear about the first hospital specifically for children; a hospital founded thanks to the efforts of two sisters seeking care for their grandmother who had suffered a stroke and meet some the women pioneers of medicine and science. \nThe walk starts at Russell Square Station and will end in Torrington Square\, a short distance from Russell Square Underground station. It will take between 1.5 and 2 hrs. \nThis free to attend guided walk is part of Camden’s annual arts programme Camden Vox. \nThis walk is organised by the Camden Tour Guides Association – one of the Knowledge Quarter’s Partners. They research\, develop and conduct walking tours and lectures on all things Camden!  They can provide bespoke walks for Knowledge Quarter partners – ideal for team events\,  new joiners\, or to enable existing staff to know more about the history\, stories and culture of the area.  They also offer training on how to become a tour guide – with a new course (based at the Crick Living Centre) starting in September.
