SUMMARY:The Thin Veil of London
DESCRIPTION:An unusual walk around the lesser-known corners of Holborn and Bloomsbury\, interwoven with mysteries from the stories of Arthur Machen. \n\n\n\n‘The best-guided walk I’ve ever been on.’ – Matt Brown\, Londonist \n\n\n\nThe stories of Arthur Machen (1863-1947) teem with sinister ancient pre-Christian horrors – troglodyte races and malevolent fauns – that lurk just beneath the surface of modern life. Yet for Machen\, these folklore evils were the flip side of a positive theology that invited the visionary to step through the veil of illusion into another world; a magical world. Sometimes the veil is lifted on ancient tumuli in the Welsh countryside of his childhood; often\, it can be found in a back street in London. \n\n\n\nThe Thin Veil of London takes up this theme. Much more than an ordinary tour\, it is a journey into the silent corners of Holborn and Bloomsbury. It is a journey into the worlds of Faery and science\, madness and ecstasy\, and what Machen called ‘the eternal beauty hidden beneath the crust of common and commonplace things; hidden and yet burning and glowing continually if you care to look with purged eyes’. \n\n\n\nThe walk begins in The Queen’s Larder pub in Bloomsbury and ends at another in the same area. See the Minimum Labyrinth website for more details.

SUMMARY:Drury Lane – guided walk in London
DESCRIPTION:A guided walk larded with street theatre\, songs and pub stops\, exploring the rich history of one of London’s most colourful quarters. \nDrury Lane is a guided walking tour from Minimum Labyrinth. \nRobert Kingham (presenter of Pagan London) explores the rich cultural history of one of London’s most colourful\, creative and dangerous quarters. Squalor\, crime\, politics and plague provide the scenery for a teeming cast of rakes and poets\, actors and gamblers\, playwrights and pickpockets\, Freemasons and highwaymen\, engravers and compositors\, gunpowder plotters and pornographers\, butchers and beadles\, judges and jail-breakers\, suffragettes and whores\, in a story that stretches from Anglo-Saxon settlers on the shores of the Thames to the starched pomp of the British Empire. \nWe promise you a bawdy\, boozy bacchanal\, bursting with everything you have come to expect from master storytellers Minimum Labyrinth: obscure factlets\, dramatic sweeps of history\, dark mysteriousness\, musical protrusions and theatrical surprises. \nStarting locations vary due to opening times\, so we will email you two days before\, but it will always be in a pub or café near the north end of Drury Lane. We will make two further stops for a drink along the route\, and end at a fourth pub in the same area.

SUMMARY:Kateřina Tučková: The Last Goddess
DESCRIPTION:Kateřina Tučková\, leading Czech writer and 2022 winner of The State Award for Literature\, discusses with scholar Dr Rajendra Chitnis The Last Goddess\, her award-winning novel and most successful book to date with more than 100\,000 copies sold in the Czech Republic alone\, which has finally been published in English. Based on extensive historical research and powerful storytelling\, the novel traces a community of ‘goddesses‘\, female healers in the White Carpathians\, pursued by both Nazis and Communists. Masterfully weaving together fact\, folklore\, and fiction and oscillating between past and present while exploring the extraordinary history of goddesses\, Tučková incisively and with great panache comments on Czech society throughout the 20th century.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA book launch and conversation with Katerina Tučková and Dr Rajendra Chitnis\n\nKateřina Tučková is a leading Czech writer\, playwright\, art historian and curator. She has written four books published in twenty two languages. More than 300\,000 copies of her books have been sold in the Czech Republic alone. Her novel Gerta / Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch  won the Magnesia Litera Readers’ award and was shortlisted for the Jiří Orten Prize and the Josef Škvorecký Prize in 2010. The Last Goddess / Žítkovské bohyně won the Josef Škvorecký Award and the Czech Bestseller Prize in 2012 and the Magnesia Litera Readers‘ Award and the Czech Book Prize Readers‘ Award in 2013. In 2017\, she was given the Freedom\, Democracy and Human Rights Award by the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and received the Premio Salerno Libro d’Europa. In 2022 Katerina Tučkova was awarded The State Prize for Literature for the novel Bílá Voda (The White Water). www.katerina-tuckova.cz\n\nRajendra Chitnis is associate professor of Czech at the University of Oxford. Alongside the books Literature in Post-Communist Russia and Eastern Europe\, Vladislav Vančura: The Heart of the Czech Avant-garde and the edited volume Translating the Literatures of Small European Nations\, he has published numerous studies about twentieth- and twenty-first-century Czech literature and contributed afterwords to English translations of novels by Antonín Bajaja\, Jaroslav Durych\, Viktor Dyk\, Ladislav Fuks\, Daniela Hodrová\, Josef Jedlička and others.\n\nKateřina Tučková: The Last Goddess\nTranslated by Andrew Oakland\nPublished by Amazon Crossing\, 2022\nThe book has been adapted for the stage by the Zlín City Theatre\, the Brno City Theatre\, and the Divadlo pod Palmovkou Theatre\nTranslated into twenty languages\n\nOnce upon a time\, a group of women with extraordinary abilities lived high in the hills of the White Carpathians. They knew how to heal people and help them in misery\, they knew how to cope with trouble\, and they could see the future. The so-called Žítková goddesses passed down their abilities from generation to generation. Dora Idesová is the last member of their family. She did not learn their art\, but studied ethnography and decided to write an extensive scientific study about them. In the late 1990s\, she discovered an operative file on an “internal enemy of the state” – her aunt\, goddess Surmena. The file was created by the StB (the State Security)\, and kept in the archives of the Ministry of the Interior. Dora discovers the fate of the women from the village of Žítková and is surprised to find out that although she did not become a goddess herself\, she is also an integral part of the secret traditions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Internment during the First World War. The Global German Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the new exhibition at the German Historical Institute London on ‘Internment during the First World War. The Global German Experience’. \n\n\n\n\nDuring the First World War\, German civilians were interned as ‘enemy aliens’ in British Empire locations worldwide. The biggest internment camp was Knockaloe on the Isle of Man\, holding 22\,000 prisoners. British citizens\, white and non-white\, were interned in the Ruhleben camp near Berlin as a retaliatory measure\, bringing the global experience of internment back to the German home front as well and for civilian internees across the world\, long periods of isolation caused mental health problems in the form of the ‘barbed wire disease’. Humanitarian support came from the Spanish and the Swiss governments\, as well as the Red Cross. The exhibition focuses on these global themes\, opening up new perspectives and formats for presenting the history of wartime internment. Alongside eighteen panels\, a Virtual Reality Experience will give viewers an immersive experience of Fort Napier Camp in South Africa. \nSymposium and exhibition opening: \n5.00 – 5.05 Welcome GHIL\, Christina von Hodenberg \n5.05 – 5.15 Internment in the British Empire\, Panikos Panayi \n5.15 – 5.25 Race and Internment: the Ruhleben camp near Berlin\, Michelle Kiessling \n5.25 – 5.35 Mental Health and Internment\, Matthew Stibbe \n5.35 – 5.45 Internment in Switzerland\, Susan Barton \n5.45 – 5.55 Spanish humanitarian efforts\, Marina Perez de Arcos \n5.55 – 6.00 Presenting internment in Virtual Reality\, Stefan Manz\, Paul Long \n6.00 – 6.30 Discussion \n6.30 – 8.00 Exhibition viewing and Virtual Reality demonstration \nBehind the Wire and Virtual Reality Experience exhibition will be shown in the German Historical Institute London until 30 June 2023. Academic lead contacts are Professor Stefan Manz (Aston University Birmingham; S.Manz@aston.ac.uk) and Professor Matthew Stibbe (Sheffield Hallam University; M.Stibbe@shu.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:Poetry meets visual arts: Book launch with Pavla Melková and Antony Gormley
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the bilingual publication of The Gravitational Field of the Inexpressible\, Czech poet and architect Pavla Melková and leading British sculptor Antony Gormley meet on stage to continue an artistic dialogue that started six years ago in Prague when they first met\, and the idea of a joint book was born. In The Gravitational Field of the Inexpressible Pavla\, Melková’s poetry meets Antony Gormley’s drawings\, circling the same centre and unfolding from the same horizon in their search for the essence of life\, to emerge in a common language. \n\n\n\nAntony Gormley’s images and a staged reading of Pavla Melková’s poems by translator and poet Joshua Mensch will accompany the launch of this bilingual edition. \n\n\n\nFollowed by audience Q&A and a book signing. \n\n\n\nPAVLA MELKOVÁ is a practising architect\, visual artist\, poet and writer who regularly lectures on art and architecture. Her widely-recognized architecture is visible throughout the Czech Republic\, where she has won numerous awards\, including Architect of the Year (2014)\, the Prague Mayor’s Prize (2012)\, and the National Prize for Architecture (2012). She has published seven books on architecture\, including most recently\, The Humanistic Role of Architecture (2016) and The Architecture of Reciprocity (2020). She is a regular contributor to professional architecture journals\, anthologies\, and collaborative works. Her two volumes of poetry include The Edges of the Day (2017) and Inner Time (2019). In 2012\, she founded the Office for Public Space at the Institute for Planning and Development of the City of Prague (IPR)\, which she headed until 2017. She is a member and vice-chair of the Gremial Council of IPR and is a partner at the architecture firm MCA atelier\, which she co-founded. In 2015\, she founded the course Concept and Interpretation at the Faculty of Architecture\, where she teaches. \n\n\n\nANTONY GORMLEY is widely acclaimed for his sculptures\, installations and public artworks investigating the human body’s relationship to space. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human being stands about nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours\, thoughts and feelings can arise. Gormley’s work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK and internationally. A major solo exhibition of his work was presented at the Royal Academy of Arts\, London\, in September 2019. Permanent public works include the Angel of the North (Gateshead\, England)\, Another Place (Crosby Beach\, England)\, Inside Australia (Lake Ballard\, Western Australia)\, Exposure (Lelystad\, The Netherlands) and Chord (MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, MA\, USA). \n\n\n\nGormley was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994\, the South Bank Prize for Visual Art in 1999\, the Bernhard Heiliger Award for Sculpture in 2007\, the Obayashi Prize in 2012 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2013. In 1997 he was made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) and a knight in the New Year’s Honours list in 2014. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects\, an Honorary Doctor of the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity and Jesus Colleges\, Cambridge. Gormley has been a Royal Academician since 2003. \n\n\n\nJOSHUA MENSCH is a poet and translator based in the Czech Republic. He is the author of Because. A Lyric Memoir (W. W. Norton\, 20218). He has served as an editor of B O D Y since 2012. \n\n\n\nThe Gravitational Field of the Inexpressible is a discourse between the languages of poetry and the visual arts. The book captures a dialogue between leading British sculptor Anthony Gormley and Czech poet Pavla Melková. The lines made by the words in the poems and lines of the drawings are traces that bring closer the shape of the essence – the essence of the world\, our lives\, relationships\, and situations. The strokes of the words of the poetry and the strokes of the lines of the drawings circle the same centre and unfold from the same horizon. When the marks cross paths\, the shape becomes more and more evident. Absorbed in the strokes and with developing awareness\, one mutual language emerges. This establishes the meaning of their encounter. \n\n\n\nThe Gravitational Field of the Inexpressible\, Pavla Melková and Antony Gormley\, Prague: Kant\, 2022\, English and Czech\, Hardback; 136 pages\, 245 × 165 mm\, ISBN 978-80-7437-376-3  \n\n\n\nCover image: The Gravitational Field of the Inexpressible (book cover); Pavla Melková; Antony Gormley (photo: Lars Gundersen)

SUMMARY:Ear – the book behind a Czech film legend
DESCRIPTION:A book launch & film screening of the Czech film classic Ear.\n \nTo mark the publishing of a first English translation of Jan Procházka’s masterpiece Ear\, David Vaughan and Peter Hames discuss both the book and the film\, followed by a screening of the 1970 classic\, considered one of the greatest of all Czech films. \nThe Ear – Ucho in Czech – was the culmination of ten years of fruitful cooperation between the director Karel Kachyňa and screenwriter Jan Procházka. It is set in the period of the Stalinist purges in 1950s Czechoslovakia. A senior government official Ludvík and his wife Anna come back from a drunken party at the ministry to find that their house has been bugged. A gripping psychological drama follows\, as they await a knock on the door. \nThe novella Ear is perhaps Jan Procházka’s greatest work. He was one of the most popular and prolific Czech writers of the 1960s\, closely identified with the reforms and growing artistic freedoms of the time. It combines the economy of Hemingway with the tension of Hitchcock\, set in a stifling totalitarian environment. \nFor the first time Ear has been published in English – by Karolinum Press in a translation by Mark Corner. \nDavid Vaughan\, who wrote the afterword to the new edition\, is a writer\, broadcaster\, journalist and university lecturer. \nPeter Hames is a film historian and Visiting Professor in Film Studies at Staffordshire University.

SUMMARY:Charles I and the Civil Wars: The World Turned Upside Down
DESCRIPTION:At 2 pm\, on Tuesday 30 January 1649\, King Charles I stepped onto a wooden scaffold outside Whitehall’s Banqueting House\, knelt in front of thousands of spectators and was publicly beheaded as a traitor. It was the brutal climax of years of civil war\, which had seen tens of thousands of people lose their lives and livelihoods as the kingdoms of England\, Wales\, Scotland and Ireland were plunged into chaos. \nIn this fascinating collaboration with the Museum of London Docklands and HistFest\, bestselling authors Jessie Childs and Leanda de Lisle\, and critically acclaimed playwright and history teacher Thabo Stuck will explore the complex events that led to the fateful moment of Charles’s execution. From the sweeping history of the civil wars and the human stories of debates\, battles and sieges to the mood within the royal court\, the character of Charles I himself\, the resilience of his wife Henrietta Maria\, and the decade-long republican rule that followed. \nIncluding music from Thabo Stuck’s critically acclaimed play\, #50Days\, a panel discussion and immersive re-enactment from the English Civil War Society\, discover the realities of a world turned upside down. There will be an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books at the end of the talk. \nThere are also digital tickets available to watch a livestream of the event. \n  \nAbout \nThabo Stuck is a history teacher from London and the creator and writer of #50Days. #50Days\, Thabo’s debut writing project\, is a Grime Musical that tells the story of the period that leads up to the outbreak of the 17th Century British Civil Wars. Using Grime music\, this show gives underrepresented Brits a voice in telling the story of one of the most integral but often misunderstood narratives of our nation. Described by The Independent as ‘a hurtling exploration of politics and revolution’. \nJessie Childs is an award-winning author\, historian and broadcaster. Her first book\, Henry VIII’s Last Victim\, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography\, and her second\, God’s Traitors\, won the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History. Her third book\, The Siege of Loyalty House: A Civil War Story\, was published in May and hailed by Simon Schama as ‘almost Tolstoyan in its emotional intelligence and literary power’. Jessie reviews for many papers\, including the Sunday Times\, Guardian and London Review of Books\, and her TV contributions include the BAFTA-nominated Elizabeth I’s Secret Agents (BBC 2 & PBS) and two BBC series on Charles I. \nLeanda de Lisle is the author of the bestselling Tudor and Stuart history praised for meticulous research as well as strong narratives. She has a Masters degree in history from Oxford University. TUDOR\, her biography of the Tudor family 1437-1603\, was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller\, BBC History book of the year\, Daily Telegraph book of the year\, and History Today book of the year. THE SISTERS WHO WOULD BE QUEEN; THE TRAGEDY OF MARY\, KATHERINE AND LADY JANE GREY\, was a New York Times best seller and is the inspiration for Phillippa Gregory’s 2017 novel THE LAST TUDOR as well as Elizabeth Fremantle’s Sisters of Treason. WHITE KING\, a biography of the doomed Charles I\, was the winner of the 2018 Historical Writers Association non-fiction crown. Her latest\, on Henrietta Maria\, is a revisionist biography of a reviled queen and a Times and Sunday Times book of the year. \n  \nHistFest is an innovative history festival and events company\, which produces online and in-person events and courses for global audiences. \nThe English Civil War Society bring history to life through the authentic re-creation of 17th-century military and civil life\, stimulating interest in the turbulent period in British history when the country was torn apart by civil war. \n

SUMMARY:Written Portraits: A poetry performance and discussion
DESCRIPTION:Hear the stories of patients and staff at a typical London hospital\, told through the poems of Di Sherlock. \n\n\n\nShe shrugs off the memory \n\n\n\nlike a scratchy sweater \n\n\n\nor an old skin\, \n\n\n\nsays cancer is one more curve ball \n\n\n\nLife’s thrown her way. \n\n\n\n‘Written portraits’ is a collection of poems by Di Sherlock drawn from conversations with patients and staff she met during a residency at Charing Cross Hospital and Maggie’s Centre West. \n\n\n\nThe poems are part of the ‘People Like You’ project which sees Di’s collaborators at Imperial College and Goldsmiths University of London investigating perceptions around personalised medicine. The series of 21 portraits explore the ways that preference\, need\, desire\, pleasure and recognition serve as grounds for judging people to be alike. \n\n\n\nAt this lunchtime event\, the Great Exhibition Road Festival brings Di together with anthropologist Sophie Day to discuss the project and the impact this way of getting to know and profile individuals might inform future approaches to a more personalised approach to healthcare. The event will also feature readings of some of the poems. \n\n\n\nWritten Portraits was funded by the Wellcome Trust.

In discussing her inspirations\, her experiences growing up in the Eastern Bloc states pre-1989\, her tendency to place her characters into extreme situations and the book’s terrifyingly real parallels with the possible aftermath of war in Ukraine\, Bellová explores her universal story\, which has been translated into twenty languages. \n\n\n\nBIANCA BELLOVÁ: THE LAKE \n\n\n\nTranslated by Alex Zucker \n\n\n\nA fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and\, ominously\, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka\, the women troubles\, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment\, Nami\, a young boy\, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves\, a coat that was once his grandfather’s and the vague idea of searching for his mother\, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life\, he must sail across and walk around the lake and finally dive to its bottom. \n\n\n\nParthian Books\, 1 April 2022\, ISBN: 978-1-913640-52-1 \n\n\n\n‘The fresh water of Czech literature’ – Hospodářské noviny \n\n\n\n‘One of the most remarkable books of the last years.’ – Mladá fronta Dnes \n\n\n\n‘A criticism of the Soviet Union\, of extinction\, of the modern world. Written in such colourful way that one at times seems the stand in front of Andrej Tarkovsky’s camera.’ – Krajské listy \n\n\n\nBianca Bellová is a Prague-based translator\, interpreter and writer with Bulgarian roots who has written seven novels. Following her 2009 debut\, Sentimental Novel\, her real breakthrough came in 2011 with her novel Dead Man\, which received widespread critical acclaim and has been translated into German. Her masterpiece novel\, The Lake (2016)\, won the Magnesia Litera award for Czech book of the year and the EU Prize for Literature\, and was published in twenty languages. The Lake was followed by the novels Mona (2019)\, These Fragments (2021) and The Island (2022). Known for her great narrative talent\, she is not shy to raise unsettling qustions and to touch on the grand themes of our time in her writing. \n\n\n\nGlen James Brown was born and raised in County Durham. He studied English at Leeds Becketts University and in 2013 he won an AHRC scholarship to study for an MA in Creative Writing at the University of Chichester\, where he graduated with distinction and won the Kate Betts Memorial Award. His first novel\, Ironopolis – about the demise of Teesside social housing and its impact of memory\, identity\, and folklore – was published in 2018 by Parthian Books. Hailed by The Guardian as ‘nothing short of a triumph’\, Ironopolis was shortlisted for the 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Fiction and the 2020 Portico Prize.
