SUMMARY:Nina | Battersea Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:“I’m a seagull. No\, that’s not right. I’m an actress.”\nA series of actresses audition to play Nina in The Seagull for a charismatic\, yet sinister director. His methods are unorthodox\, annihilating\, and very effective. \nIn a debut play from celebrated director Caroline Williams\, co-directed by award-\nwinning artist Deborah Pearson\, NINA questions why so many women are drawn to\nplay an actress who has everything taken away from her by men. And why do the men\nin Chekhov’s original play keep trying to turn the girls they fancy into dead seagulls? \nIn a post #MeToo era\, NINA is a meta theatrical fever dream on coercion\, power and the quest for creative expression. \n“One of the most insightful encounters I have had in a theatre.” Theatre Voices \n“If the opportunity presents itself to see Pearson’s work you must go immediately.” The Huffington Post

DESCRIPTION:Some doors should stay sealed.\nIn the days following the devastating fire in Battersea Arts Centre on Friday 13 March 2015\, a team of builders uncovered a sealed chamber in the original stone structure.

SUMMARY:WITH EACH LOOK | Lower Slopes
DESCRIPTION:Lower Slopes launches with pop-up exhibition in Islington while renovations continue at its permanent home in Highgate. \n\nLower Slopes’ opening exhibition serves as an introduction and an invitation. Bringing together many of the artists we’ll be presenting in our upcoming programme\, it is a statement of intent and a proposition to the viewer: look again for a deeper encounter. \nWhile impactful at first glance\, the works on display do not reveal themselves fully. They reward further attention: a closer look\, a shift in perspective\, a peek inside. \nAs we move through the exhibition\, our gaze is unsettled. At times we assume the role of voyeur\, while the subjects are distracted or have their backs turned; at others\, we feel stared down\, as if the works are watching us. \n\n\nEXHIBITION INFORMATION\nVenue: 6 Charlton Place\, Islington\, London N1 8AJ\n\nExhibition: 23 October – 1 November 2026\n\nOpening Hours: Wednesday-Sunday: 11am-5pm\n(Closed Monday and Tuesday)

SUMMARY:The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56
DESCRIPTION:Ben Uri is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition\, The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56\, marking the simultaneous publication of The Abbey Art Centre in postwar London 1946–1956\, eds.\, Jane Eckette\, Ian McLean and Sheridan Palmer (Routledge)\, this autumn. \nThe exhibition unfolds the remarkable story of the Abbey Art Centre\, a cosmopolitan art colony established at New Barnet in 1946 by charismatic artist\, gallerist and world art collector\, William Ohly (1883–1955). A crucible of creativity on London’s northern edge\, the Abbey was a postwar haven for stateless Jewish refugees\, as well as artists from Australia\, Britain and continental Europe. Ohly’s openness to outsiders extended to his dealings at the Berkeley Galleries in Mayfair\, which opened in late 1941 during the Blitz and where Abbey artists occasionally exhibited\, as well as Commonwealth artists and artists from Ohly’s own world art collection. The Abbey was an important seeding bed for cross-cultural and transnational modernism that proved pivotal to the careers of many artists\, as they navigated the seismic political and cultural shifts taking place in the postwar and postcolonial artistic landscape in Britain and beyond. \nFeaturing paintings\, sculpture\, drawings\, monotypes\, lithographs\, puppets and related photographs\, books and archival materials\, the exhibition includes artworks by Abbey residents Scottish painter Alan Davie\, English sculptor Peter King\, English painter Lilian Colbourn\, German émigré painters and printmakers Marcel Frishman\, Margret Kroch-Frishman and William Ohly\, Austrians Helen Grünwald and Angela Varga\, sculptors Inge King and Gudrun Krüger\, pioneering German animator Lotte Reiniger\, Ukrainian painter Stacha Halpern\, Australian constructivist Robert Klippel and painters James Cant and Mary Webb. Narrative sub-themes include the impact of African and Indigenous Australian art on emerging artists and socially conscious painter-printmakers working in London’s East End. The exhibition also features a small number of artists associated with the Berkeley Galleries including Nigerian modernist Ben Enwonwu\, German sculptor Fred Kormis and Prussian-born graphic artist Katerina Wilczynski\, as well as related photographs\, books and archival materials. \nA book launch and a related series of events will accompany the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Immo Klink: Victoria’s Trees
DESCRIPTION:As part of PhotoMonth 2026\, award-winning artist Immo Klink presents Victoria’s Trees\, a photographic series of nocturnal trees placed in dialogue with the highs and lows of urban routines\, from corporate life to dark kitchens. \nThe exhibition started as a personal project around solace found in nature and with capturing the bare branches that shape London’s parks during the winter months. Combined with urban scenes taken while working as a delivery rider\, Victoria’s Trees grew into a wider reflection on the precarity of city life\, powerlessness and inequality driven by AI and climate change. \nForegrounding the positive effects of access to nature\, presented at an urban winery situated next to Victoria Park where the project originated\, the exhibition also represents an extension of the artist’s political work. Klink has documented causes ranging from climate action to civil liberties\, most recently campaigning with the Citizens Arrest Network to bring water and fossil fuel CEOs to justice. \nWhile the pressures on society and the need for activism increase\, political art is a particularly hard sell. Immo Klink responds with a crowdfunding campaign that mirrors the ethos of Victoria’s Trees by offering fine art prints of trees while raising awareness and support for his practice. \nOpen Times: Thursday 4-8pm\, Friday 4-9pm\, Saturday 12-4pm\, Sunday 12-4pm or by appointment

SUMMARY:Gothic Opera presents: La Dame de Pique
DESCRIPTION:A society on the brink crumbles into grime\, decay and dissolution…. \nWitty\, gritty opéra-comique La Dame de Pique (The Queen of Spades) by Fromental Halévy premiered in 1850\, but has never been staged since. \nFeaturing a cast of exciting emerging singers and a chamber orchestra\, this operatic game of power will transport you to the dying days of the Ancien Régime in France. \nLoosely based on the Pushkin novella of the same name\, Halévy’s La Dame de Pique pre-dates Tchaikovsky’s better-known opera adaptation by forty years. \nIn a story perfect for the spooky season\, a shifting web of ambition\, strategy\, and survival is played out across every level of society…but the dealer always wins. \nSung in the original French with surtitles in English and newly-created English dialogue. \nYour perfect opera night out this Halloween. \nhttps://www.gothicopera.co.uk/productions/ladamedepique

SUMMARY:How to Be Feral: Movement Practices to Re-Wild Your Body with Claire Loussouarn
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-session online course exploring the feral intelligence of the body: how it listens\, questions\, adapts\, resists habit\, and remembers what modern life teaches us to forget. \n‘How to Be Feral: Movement Practices to Re-Wild Your Body’ invites you to explore unfamiliar ways of moving that unsettle what we think we know about our bodies. Drawing from Claire Loussouarn’s book How to Be Feral\, we’ll practise trusting instinct before understanding\, and learning from the more-than-human world.  \nAcross four fortnightly sessions\, we’ll use movement as a mode of thinking and knowing\, alongside simple forms of movement mapping\, to explore how movement can open different perspectives\, train attention\, and reconnect us to parts of ourselves that have been quietened by social and cultural conditioning. Together we’ll approach our everyday environments as something to be received\, listened to and moved with. \nLed by movement artist Dr Claire Loussouarn and hosted by IMT Gallery\, the course offers a reflective and practical space for artists\, performers\, writers\, researchers\, educators\, somatic practitioners\, ecologists\, and anyone curious about how the body can think\, sense and know. \n🌿 No movement experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to explore. \nThe course begins 4 October 2026. \nFollow the link below for full details\, and to book.

SUMMARY:IN FOCUS: Jeremy Hunter and Seema
DESCRIPTION:In this edition of IN FOCUS\, Photojournalism Hub brings together two photographers exploring very different perspectives on culture\, identity and belonging. Jeremy Hunter draws on decades of international reporting to document rituals\, traditions and societies\, including his extensive work in North Korea. Seema Khalique explores memory\, migration and identity through photography\, moving image and personal histories\, giving visibility to stories that have helped shape multicultural Britain. \nJeremy Hunter is a UNESCO award-winning British investigative photojournalist\, television producer\, writer and broadcaster whose career has taken him across more than 70 countries and five continents.\nBeginning his career in advertising and television\, Jeremy subsequently moved into broadcast journalism\, reporting from politically sensitive and historically significant locations\, including Lebanon during the civil war\, India following the assassination of Indira Gandhi\, and Portugal during its transition to democracy. He later worked with major British broadcasters\, including the BBC and Granada Television. \nHis photography has focused particularly on festivals\, rituals\, religious traditions and culturally distinctive communities. His work has received UNESCO/HPA recognition\, including a Documentary Award in 2011 for his work in Nagaland\, alongside awards for his photography from the Sunday Telegraph\, Daily Telegraph and BBC News.\nJeremy is also known for his extensive photographic work in North Korea\, where he documented the country’s monumental Arirang performance\, propaganda and aspects of everyday life. His illustrated presentation\, North Korea Exposed – Daily Life in the Hermit Kingdom\, has been delivered internationally to audiences at cultural institutions\, universities and venues including the Palace of Westminster\, UNESCO\, NATO and the Royal Geographical Society. \nHis books include Sacred Festivals\, published in English\, French and German\, and his photographs have appeared in publications including The Sunday Times\, The Guardian\, GEO\, Stern and Condé Nast Traveller. His work has been exhibited internationally\, including at Paris Photo and the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles.\nDrawing on decades of first-hand reporting and photographic documentation\, Jeremy uses visual storytelling to explore cultural identity\, religion\, politics\, propaganda and the ways societies represent themselves. \nSeema Khalique is a photography and moving-image artist\, curator and producer whose practice explores memory\, identity and personal history through documentary and portraiture. Her socially engaged practice centres around marginalised communities\, using creative practices to give voice to their stories and develop new forms of community engagement. \nKhalique curated About Then\, a group exhibition for the Stephen Lawrence Gallery which was reviewed by the British Journal of Photography. She was also curator for Migration Quest\, an immersive and interactive art exhibition at the Kobi Nazrul Centre. Khalique is Artist and curator of Londoni Memoirs which exhibited at Four Corner.\nKhalique is currently exhibiting at Brighton Photo Fringe 2026. She is a Photoworks Photography Champion for Medway and a Board Member at Four Corners. \nLondoni Memoirs is a collection of portraits\, curated ephemera\, artifacts\, heirlooms and video-interviews of 12 Bangladeshi migrants from 1950s-70s\, documenting their exodus from genocide during the 1971 liberation war and watching their motherland’s independence from afar while making UK their home. The project grew from Seema’s own search for a family history that had largely remained undocumented\, especially of her late father’s early life in the UK. He arrived in Britain in 1956\, followed by her mother in 1973 after the Bangladesh Liberation War\, both in search of a better life. At the heart of Londoni Memoirs is the experience of a generation caught between two defining moments: escaping genocide during the Bangladesh Liberation War and establishing a new life in an unfamiliar foreign country. The project considers how these experiences helped shape not only British Bangladeshi identity\, but also the country as a whole through the generations born in Britain afterwards.\nLondoni Memoirs seeks to honour a generation whose contribution was pivotal in the development of the multicultural society that exists in the UK today.

SUMMARY:Rostro x Eminem | The Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:When classical music meets hip-hop.Rostro x Eminem is a solo performance piece — part concert\, part play — that navigates the collision between two worlds: the universe of classical music and the raw\, rebellious energy of hip-hop. \nAt its centre is Olivier\, a young man raised under the weight of his father’s dream — that he become a great cellist in the image of Mstislav Rostropovich. But Olivier hears something else calling him. \nThrough live music and storytelling\, the show traces his coming of age — the pull between inheritance and rebellion\, between who we are told to be and who we choose to become — building towards a decisive event that forces him to finally become the author of his own story. The cello is present throughout: sometimes the instrument his father demands he master\, sometimes reimagined as a weapon of his own rebellion\, put at the service of hip-hop. \nWritten\, directed and performed by Olivier van den Hende \nRunning time: 60 minutes\, no interval\nAge guidance: 14+ (strong language)\nLanguage: English \nAbout the artist\nOlivier van den Hende is a Franco-American actor\, director\, writer and classically trained cellist based in London. He trained at RADA. Screen credits include recurring roles on France Télévisions (Un si grand soleil\, L’Or Bleu) and the Cannes Official Selection film 13 jours\, 13 nuits (Pathé). He is co-founder of Le Garage\, a small theatre in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Rostro x Eminem is his second solo show\, following L’Instinct de Mort by Jacques Mesrine (Avignon Off 2024 and La Comédie Saint-Michel\, Paris).

SUMMARY:Dolly’s Clinic | Coningsby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Presented off-site by Mandy Zhang Art and guest curated by Joséphine May Bailey\, Dolly’s Clinic places Annie Trevorah’s enquiry into aesthetics\, bodily modification and the politics of appearance in context of medieval bestiaries and surrealist imaginations. \nReferencing the language and rituals of the contemporary beauty industry\, Trevorah introduces a meticulously realised aesthetics clinic for animals named after the first cloned mammal. A cast of six matte aluminium sculptures\, each enhanced with organic elements\, model a range of signature procedures\, complete with consultant’s notes and recovery plans. An interactive AR visualisation by multimedia artist Dr Blanca Regina invites viewers to join an exfoliated poodle’s celebration of its smooth new body. \nBeneath a playful and humorous surface\, the exhibition raises fundamental questions about humanity’s relationship with other species. With Dolly’s Clinic Annie Trevorah challenges the assumption that humans alone possess the authority to determine how other living beings should look\, function and evolve\, while exploring the contradictions between personal freedoms and external pressures. \nOpening Times \nWed\, 4th\, Thurs 5th\, Fri 6th\, / 10 am – 6pm / Sat\, 7th 11am – 6pm \nTues 10th\, Wed 12th\, Fri 13th / 10 am – 6pm / Sat\, 14th 11am – 6pm \nGallery closed / Sun\, 8th Nov & Mon\, 9th Nov

SUMMARY:Brother Tree Sound: Folk Tales\, Landscapes and a Life Story
DESCRIPTION:For this 30th edition of the Made in Prague festival\, Brother Tree Sound will play 3 string quartets with fascinating connections to Prague. They will be playing a quartet bursting with folk melodies\, dances and life – quartet no 1 ‘From my Life’ by the 19th century Czech composer Bedřich Smetana\, who was considered by many to be the father of Czech classical music and whose music is inspired by the history\, legends and landscape of his native Bohemia. This autobiographical quartet tells the composer’s life story in four parts\, from the carefree early days of his youth\, through midlife love and heartache\, to his later years\, when the music depicts the anguish he felt with the onset of his deafness. \nElizabeth Maconchy was born in England to Irish parents. She studied with Ralph Vaughan Williams. Feeling drawn to the music of Eastern Europe and composers such as Janáček\, she travelled to Prague to study with Czech composer Karel Boleslav Jirák. Her quartet no. 3 is short but intensely felt\, with discussion between the four players around a central theme that dominates with intent. \nKateřina Horká is an emerging Czech composer. Her String Quartet no. 2 ‘Icelandic Landscape’ was the winning piece of the 7th Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition. Kateřina’s music draws inspiration from many styles and genres. This quartet is evocative and spacious\, depicting the vast open spaces of Iceland. \nProgramme:\nBedřich Smetana String Quartet No. 1 in E minor ‘From My Life / Z mého života\nElizabeth Maconchy String Quartet No. 3\, op. 15\nKateřina Horká String Quartet No. 2 ‘Icelandic Landscape’ \nBrother Tree Sound\, string quartet \nHire String Quartets and String Ensembles in London.

SUMMARY:Good Sex | Battersea Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:How do you have sex on stage? How do you even have sex?\nTo try and find an answer\, each night\, two brand new performers tell a story of desire\, betrayal and loneliness. They have never rehearsed together or read the script. They are strangers. \nBut they are not alone – to help and guide them they are joined on stage by an Intimacy Director\, trained in the art of teaching people how to touch. So\, you can be rest assured that the sex will be safe. It will be consensual. And it will be good. \nSince its premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival in 2022\, Good Sex has toured across Europe and to New York\, and now makes it’s UK premiere. \nAcclaimed theatre makers Dead Centre\, with award-winning novelist and essayist Emilie Pine\, present a sublimely funny love story for a loveless age. \n\n“Raw\, unsettling\, seductive\, provocative and very\, very funny”\n★★★★★ Irish Times\n \n“Beguiling\, chaotic\, hilarious and profound… a brilliant\, vital piece of theatre”\n★★★★★ Irish Examiner \n  \nFor exact showtimes\, visit their website HERE

SUMMARY:Dünyada | The Space
DESCRIPTION:Dünyada (on earth) comes to The Space for three performances at Voila! Theatre Festival. Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu brings a stranger’s memories of home\, love and loss into an intimate\, darkly funny solo show\, reimagining Will Eno’s Title and Deed. First-time theatregoers are welcome. \n“I’m not from here.” \nA man arrives with a suitcase\, a camera\, and a voice that seems sad somehow. \nThis November\, internationally acclaimed actor and director Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu brings his visceral\, high-intensity solo performance Dünyada to Voila! Theatre Festival. Dünyada\, meaning “on earth”\, is a formally adventurous solo theatre that tears the fabric of one-person play through cinematic camera work\, visual extension and sound design. Reimagining Will Eno’s celebrated monologue Title and Deed\, the production offers an evocative exploration of alienation and belonging\, and an exitential exploration of love and death in a digital age. \nNuroğlu walking the thin line between the mundane duties of keeping things going and the emotional disorder of remembering (like all of us). In a raw\, technical struggle\, he manages lighting and soundscapes in real-time\, creating a parallax between his physical body and his digital ghost. \nIntimate\, funny\, unsettling\, and deeply\, deeply human. \nA salute to the progress in life\, to being here\, now\, right now. On stage.

SUMMARY:Translation Salon: Kafkaesque (In person) | The London Library
DESCRIPTION:The London Library contains books in\, on and translated from a whole world of languages. To celebrate the incredible scope of that collection\, we are delighted to introduce our new Translation Salon\, which will explore multiple perspectives and ideas around language and the intricate art of translation. \nFor our inaugural salon\, host\, translator and translation expert Daniel Hahn will be joined by Maïa Hruska\, author of a new book\, Kafkaesque\, which tells the story of the translators who saved the work of Franz Kafka from oblivion. \nFor years after his early death\, Kafka existed almost entirely through the wildly different readings of his words by his early translators\, many of whom would later be counted amongst the greatest thinkers and writers of all time. Primo Levi translated Kafka into Italian from the German he had learned in Auschwitz; Milena Jesenská lovingly into Czech before being deported; Bruno Schulz into Polish before being shot by an SS officer; and Jorge Luis Borges into Spanish as he slowly went blind in Buenos Aires. His French translator found new humour hidden inside Kafka’s work\, while his Russian translators were condemned to perpetual anonymity by the Soviet censor. \nCome along and join the conversation about this fascinating history of Kafka’s work\, the act of translation and some of the greatest minds\, tragedies and absurdities of the twentieth century. \nIn partnership with the Jewish Literary Foundation. \nMaïa Hruska was born to a Czech-French family\, raised in Germany and now lives in London\, working as a lawyer\, like Kafka. A graduate of University of Cambridge and Kings College London\, Hruska is fluent in Czech\, French\, German\, and English. Kafkaesque is her first book. \nDaniel Hahn is a writer\, editor and translator. Books published in 2026 include If This Be Magic: the unlikely art of Shakespeare in translation\, and translations of fiction from Mexico\, Peru\, Argentina\, Guatemala\, Brazil and Chile. He is currently translating an Angolan novel and co-editing (with Padma Viswanathan) The Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories. \nThe Jewish Literary Foundation (JLF) presents the best in contemporary Jewish literature and ideas. From its flagship annual festival Jewish Book Week\, to its free JLF Player streaming platform\, creative opportunities and live cultural experiences\, the JLF connects\, inspires and entertains year-round. For events\, creative opportunities\, new video releases and more\, sign up to their newsletter. \nOur events programme is presented in partnership with Hakluyt & Company\, the global strategic advisory firm for businesses and investors. \nBooks by the speakers will be available to buy at the event and online from our partner bookshop Hatchards. \nNB This event will take place in person in the New Room at The London Library. Doors and the bar will open at 6.30pm\, the talk will run from 7-8pm and the bar will stay open until 8.30pm. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. \nLondon Library events are subject to Terms & Conditions

SUMMARY:Better Go Mad in the Wild + Q&A with director Miro Remo
DESCRIPTION:Deep in the Šumava Mountains\, identical twins František and Ondřej have created a life far from the gaze of society. On their ramshackle farm\, they tend to their animals\, swim in forest lakes\, compose poetry\, drink\, philosophise and bicker – before making up and starting all over again. But beneath their eccentric routines lie two very different spirits: František dreams of freedom and adventure\, while Ondřej longs for the comfort of the familiar. As their unbreakable bond is put to the test\, their unconventional world becomes a funny and moving reflection on brotherhood\, solitude and the desire to live life on your own terms. Remo playfully blurs the line between reality and fairy tale\, mixing semi-staged vignettes\, striking visual tableaux\, a talking cow and plenty of anarchic humour. Warm\, eccentric and full of surprises\, Better Go Mad in the Wild is a wonderfully offbeat celebration of two charismatic outsiders who have created their own way of seeing – and living – in the world. \nMiro Remo\, Czech Republic\, Slovakia 2025\, 84´\, English subtitles \n  \n2025 Crystal Globe Winner at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival \nPresented at IDFA – Best of Fests\, \nCzech Lions: Best Cinematography\, Best Editing\, Best Documentary Film \n“Sprightly\, warm\, and endearing portraiture … conjuring little moments of magic by slowing down for long enough to notice all the details of two born outsiders who turned nature into their own private sanctuary.” – RogerEbert.com \nVariety’s Guy Lodge shared the love for the film\, calling it a “poignant\, permanent imprint of lives largely lived far outside the gaze of society and the authorities.” \nLondon Premiere organised in collaboration with Tributary Releasing\, UK distributor of the film. \nThis event is a part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London.
