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: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:IN FOCUS: James Clifford Kent & Bharat Patel | Riverside Studios
DESCRIPTION:For our next In Focus at Riverside Studios on 12 October 2026 at 7:15 pm\, we are delighted to welcome documentary photographers James Clifford Kent and Bharat Patel. \nExploring themes of belonging\, healthcare and marginalisation\, their work spans care environments in Cuba and the UK and the lives of India’s nomadic and de-notified nomadic communities. Kent and Patel will share their approaches to building trust\, documenting sensitive human stories\, and the role of documentary photography today. \nJames Clifford Kent is a London-based photographic artist whose research-led practice explores culture\, health and social change. Through long-term relationships and sustained image-making\, he navigates the space between intimate experience and broader social narratives\, focusing on the textures of everyday life and the conditions that shape it. His award-winning work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts\, and featured in BBC News\, The Guardian and The Times. James is co-founder and creative director of Yuma Studios and holds a PhD from Royal Holloway\, University of London\, a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). He is the author of Aesthetics and the Revolutionary City and is currently developing his first photobook.\nCentral to Kent’s relationship-led practice is listening. His images result from lasting relationships and sustained dialogue with the people he photographs; allowing presence\, voice and agency to shape the work. This approach also reflects a sharp awareness of positionality — the limits\, responsibilities and ethics of working as an outsider. During his talk “Birth\, Death and Everything In between” James will share work\, stories and experiences from his long-term\, ongoing work in Cuba\, his photographs on maternity wards during the pandemic\, and his recent work in hospices in the UK. \nBharat Patel is a documentary photographer using the camera as a tool to connect with people in overlooked\, difficult\, or marginalised conditions. His work focuses on labour\, survival\, and human dignity capturing the quiet strength in spaces society often ignores. Through intimate portraits and raw environments\, he aims not to evoke pity but to provoke recognition. Even in silence\, he wants his images to speak honestly and to make people look where they usually turn away.\nHe was born in India\, raised in Uganda\, and later moved to England for higher education. He also spent several years working in Brazil. Living across four continents has given him a deep appreciation for diverse cultures\, which continues to shape his perspective and photographic approach.\nIn 2012\, he began what would become a multi-year project to photograph one of the most marginalised groups in India: The Nomadic Tribes and the De-notified Nomadic Tribes. These communities\, whose numbers are estimated to be in the tens of millions\, face systemic exclusion and hardship. These nomads served as entertainers\, singers\, dancers\, knife sharpeners\, snake charmers\, gymnasts\, acrobats\, tightrope walkers\, basket makers\, grain millers\, agricultural labourers\, and herbalists—each tribe possessing its own unique set of skills. However\, their contribution and lifestyle is now at odds with the demands of modern society.

SUMMARY:Jan Zatorsky: Prague – A Playground for David Černý
DESCRIPTION:This outdoor exhibition by photographer Jan Zatorsky complements David Černý: The Glorious 90s in Prague. Reprinted by Prusa Research\, on display at Vitrínka Gallery. While the gallery exhibition brings Černý’s iconic works to London in new 3D-printed forms\, Zatorsky’s photographs take you back to Prague\, where these works have become part of the city’s contemporary landscape. \nYou know the Czech capital\, Prague. She – because we call her the Mother – has of course the charming panoramas of historic buildings. And serves her visitors magnetic views of Prague Castle\, the Charles Bridge and many other sights. \nBut if you give the city a second look\, you will see a different face – with contemporary art scattered around\, in between historic buildings and the new ones too. Czech artist David Černý\, the forever ‘enfant terrible’ of Czech art\,  has his signature on many of them. In fact\, he has shaped the contemporary layer of Prague’s look like no other Czech artist. \nCzech photojournalist Jan Zatorsky\, holder of several Czech Press Photo awards\, has walked in Černý’s footprints in Prague to guide you through. His photo story from the Czech capital presents Černý’s striking pieces\, that almost shout at you with their size\, and also the less visible ones that are there to catch you by surprise – but both ways\, always make you think. \nThis photographic display accompanies the Czech Centre London exhibition of David Černý’s works\, seen around Prague\, in 3D models printed by Prusa Research\, a company that started modestly in the Czech Republic in 2012 and grew into one of the global leaders in 3D printer manufacturing. \nAt both venues you will see Černý‘s giant Babies sculptures (first made in 1999)\, which climb the Žižkov district TV tower and have already become one of the city’s symbols. The story of the legendary Pink Tank (first painted by Černý in the bright colour in 1991 to confront the remnants of Soviet political dominance and propaganda after the fall of Communism) has new chapters  written into today‘s landscape of Prague. Watch out\, so you don’t trip over it! Černý‘s more recent works include The Butterfly Effect\, honouring the Czechoslovak RAF pilots who fought alongside the Brits in the Second World War\, and the rotating head of Prague author Franz Kafka\, Instagram’s favourite sight in the Czech capital. \nDavid Černý was born in Prague in 1967 to a family of artists. He later studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague between 1988 and 1996. In 1990\, he received the Special Prize at the Kortrijk Biennale\, Belgium. One year later\, he began his residential scholarship in Boswil after receiving a grant from the Swiss Government. In 1994\, he moved to New York as an artist in residence at the PS1 gallery. Two years later\, he completed the Whitney Independent Study Program. In 1996\, he won another grant\, this time from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation in the United States\, and in 2000\, he received the Jindřich Chalupecký Award for the country’s most promising visual artist under the age of 35. In 2001\, he founded Meetfactory\, a non-profit international centre for contemporary art. He lives in Prague and is the proud father of his daughter\, Elektra. \nJan Zatorsky is a Czech photographer\, who was born into the family of a protestant pastor in Northern Moravia in 1957. He was free to work as a photographer only after the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989. For most of the 1990s\, when people without links to the Communist regime were needed\, especially in the security forces\, he held high positions at the Ministry of the Interior and the Police. Since 2000 he was the chief photographer of the Mediacop publishing house\, which had the influential weekly magazine Týden in its portfolio. Later he became the chief photographer for the Lidové noviny a daily Czech newspaper with a democratic tradition dating back to the 19th century. \nThis exhibition is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London. \nOutdoor exhibition on the fence of the Czech Embassy 26 – 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\nFree access 24/7 \nVisit David Černý: The Glorious 90s in Prague. Reprinted by Prusa Research at the Czech Centre’s Vitrínka Gallery to see newly created 3D-printed versions of Černý’s iconic works\, and also stop by the Bouda Gallery to explore Landscape\, an exhibition of student works from the Studio of Ceramics and Porcelain at the Academy of Arts\, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM).

SUMMARY:Blood of My Blood - Photography Exhibition by Magda Kuca
DESCRIPTION:Magda Kuca presents a body of work highlighting the shared histories of photography and medicine at the Old Operating Theatre. \nBlood of My Blood is a multi-faceted project that investigates the link between personal narratives and scientific advancement through a photographic lens. Kuca’s solo exhibition blends in with the surroundings at the former site of both herbal apothecary and early surgical procedures. \nAt the core of the project lies the artist’s response to her mother’s cancer journey. Applying a camera-less form of experimental photography to capture their embracing bodies\, Kuca expresses shared vulnerability while echoing the effects of chemotherapy with the marks and traces left on the resulting image. \nFor a series of wet collodion portraits captured on glass\, and limbs on surgery-grade steel\, Kuca allows the unvarnished surfaces to decompose and tarnish\, repairing deliberate fractures with silver. Still lifes of plague doctor masks provide a link to the healing herbs grown in the museum’s attic. \nThe contemporary works are displayed in cabinets alongside the museum’s main collection. Reminiscent of vintage medical journals\, they evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting subsequent progress in overcoming physical injury and infectious disease. \nThe surgeries at the Old Operating Theatre were performed on women without anaesthetics or antiseptics\, in front of a live audience of predominantly male medical students. Magda Kuca’s work serves as a reminder of the personal stories behind medical innovation. \npublic open times:\nThursday – Sunday\, 10.30am – 5pm\n(exhibition entry included in museum general admission)

SUMMARY:LIGHT\, LENS\, LEGEND - Willie Christie - Exhbition
DESCRIPTION:Presented at Cris Contini Contemporary in collaboration with Carola Syz Projects\, this exhibition brings into focus the enduring visual language of Willie Christie\, whose work as a fashion photographer\, spanning over a decade\, continues to resonate with striking clarity and relevance today.\n\nEmerging at a pivotal moment when fashion\, music\, and popular culture converged\, Christie photographed a constellation of defining figures\, including David Bowie\, Bryan Ferry\, Jerry Hall\, and Grace Jones. His images move beyond documentation\, constructing presence through a masterful use of light\, colour\, and composition\, creating photographs that feel cinematic and charged with atmosphere.\nA central element of his practice is his work for British Vogue\, where he produced a significant body of editorial imagery alongside ten striking covers. Created in collaboration with Grace Coddington\, then a fashion editor at the magazine and later his wife\, these works introduced a new visual language defined by narrative\, mood\, and a refined sense of artifice.\n\nAmong the highlights of the exhibition is Christie’s iconic 1969 portrait of Mick Jagger\, in which a luminous halo of light transforms the image into something mythic. Also featured are his photographs of Jerry Hall on the set of The Spy Who Loved Me at Pinewood Studios\, capturing both the scale of cinematic production and the magnetic presence of the subject.\nChristie’s later move into film\, including projects connected to Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut\, further reflects the cinematic quality that defines his work. Across both still and moving images\, his practice explores atmosphere\, narrative\, and the emotional resonance of light.\nWillie Christie: Light\, Lens\, Legend presents a body of work that remains both timeless and influential\, inviting a renewed appreciation of photography as a medium capable of shaping perception\, memory\, and desire.

SUMMARY:The Museum of Connection - Workshop with Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova
DESCRIPTION:Embrace the power of collaborative creation in the second in a series of transformative workshops led by artist duo Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova\, hosted by IMT Gallery. In The Museum of Connection\, you are invited to explore the generative possibilities of collectivity through a series of guided creative exercises and to imagine working together as a new way to survive on our damaged planet. \nIn the last decade\, our experience of closeness has radically shifted. Digital interactions\, though abundant\, have left many of us reliant on screens for connection. Georgia and Lina began The Museum of Connection in response to this change\, inspired by Donna Haraway’s term Sympoiesis\, meaning making-with\, a reminder that all creation and survival depend on collaboration. \nThe duo will transform IMT Gallery into a space of encounter\, a shared and fertile ground where real-life connection and creativity can take root. Each workshop in the series will be themed for a collective act: food\, play\, touch\, and movement. For this workshop\, Lina and Georgia invite you to use your whole body to create an image with a difference\, exploring the theme of movement. \nIn this workshop\, we will gather in the gallery to create one-of-a-kind artworks\, both collectively and individually. The event will begin with a specially themed meditation\, written by the artists\, and unfold into writing and drawing games. The primary technique in this event will focus on cyanotypes\, a form of experimental camera-less photography. This technique reduces the image to its fundamental components – light\, shadow and form. The process is unpredictable by nature\, resulting in artworks that record our intentional and incidental marks\, the traces of presence\, sharing\, and interaction. Each image created is ephemeral but can be ‘fixed’ as a lasting memory of the moment. The workshop will culminate in the collaborative creation of a large-scale cyanotype. \nAs a participant\, you will have the opportunity to contribute what you make to the Museum’s growing archive\, as a living monument to community\, built within two fleeting hours\, yet resonant with the lasting memory of connection. \nEach workshop in this series is different\, so if you have joined us before\, you are welcome to join us again. No experience is necessary. Please bring your preferred drawing materials and paper\, additional supplies will also be provided. \nMeet the artists: \nGeorgia\, Clemson\, and Lina Ivanova are London-based artists with fifteen years of combined experience in creative facilitation. They first exhibited together in A Cohesion of Light at Peckham 24 (2021)\, and created The Museum of Connection in 2024. Both artists have a background in experimental photography and make work challenging the conventions of the medium. \nGeorgia’s work has been featured in Source Photographic Review\, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Italia. Recent exhibitions include The vessel that contains me at Creative Health Camden and Retreat: the UK’s first climate refugees at Middlesex University as part of Barnet Climate Action Month. Lina is a co-founder of Revolv Collective and a recipient of the Turner Contemporary Portfolio Prize. Her work has been exhibited by RPS\, the South Bermondsey Art Trail\, and the Goethe Institut in Bulgaria. Her most recent commission is Business is driven by quarterly results\, a public art installation in Croydon\, funded by Turf Projects.  \nAre you ready to discover the power of collective creativity? Reserve your place and join this radically original happening at IMT Gallery.

SUMMARY:The Queen and the Playwright: A Royal Visit at the Prague Castle
DESCRIPTION:The photographs by Czech photographer Alan Pajer capture the historic and intimate atmosphere of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to the Czech Republic\, which took place 30 years ago\, in March 1996. \n\nHer host was the then President of the young country\, former dissident\, prisoner of conscience\, and playwright Václav Havel\, and with him the whole Czech nation. \nSet against the optimistic backdrop of the 1990s\, in a country enjoying its first years of freedom after the fall of the Communist regime in 1989\, the Queen’s visit was a significant moment. Although sharing many important moments of courage and solidarity throughout history\, the two countries had been officially separated for decades by the Iron Curtain\, as Sir Winston Churchill famously named the ideological barrier between Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe and the democratic West. In reality\, however\, it was not only an ideological divide\, but also a very real physical barrier\, marked by barbed wire\, border fortifications\, and strict controls that limited movement between East and West. \nAnd it wasn‘t all just protocol when this heavy veil was finally lifted. Queen Elizabeth II and President Havel not only exchanged state orders\, but also discussed private topics\, such as their shared love for dogs. The Queen and her husband\, HRH Prince Philip\, did not miss the opportunity to walk over the famous Charles Bridge to cross the River Vltava\, and even met some Churchill fans on the way. The visit also followed earlier visits and a long-standing interest in Prague and its cultural heritage\, shown by the then-Prince Charles. Famously\, the Queen demonstrated her well-known respect for people when she decided to visit not only the capital city of Prague\, but also the Moravian hub of Brno. \nThe visit also brought some important closure. The Queen addressed a sensitive moment in Czech-British history\, when in 1938\, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement\, which stated – against the will of the Czechoslovak government – that the bordering\, mainly German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia would become part of Nazi Germany in the hope of appeasing Hitler. It was a failure which still resonates today. \nAlan Pajer (b. 1948) was one of the photographers of the Czech presidential couple since 1996\, capturing historic diplomatic moments of the newly established Czech Republic\, which came into existence in 1993 after the peaceful break-up of Czechoslovakia. \n„In this century\, my country actively supported the creation of the first Czechoslovak Republic under President Masaryk\, which had such a tragically short existence. The events that brought it to an end are the only shadow over our relationship\, and I understand and sympathise with the feelings in this country over the Munich Agreement\,“ the Queen said in Prague in 1996. Her visit is retrospectively seen as an important milestone in fulfilling the Czech ambition to join NATO and the EU. When it finally happened (in 1999 and 2004\, respectively)\, it was widely understood as a full democratic recovery for the Czech Republic. \n  \nOutdoor exhibition on the fence of the Czech Embassy\n26 – 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\nFree access 24/7          \nOrganised by the Czech Centre in partnership with the Embassy of the Czech Republic in the UK.

Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art – blending conversation\, cultural insight and lived experience. \nIn Even the Good Girls Will Cry\, Auf der Maur offers a clear‑eyed\, fiercely honest account of her unexpected ascent through one of the most iconic\, turbulent periods in modern rock history. From her beginnings in Montreal’s bohemian music scene\, to joining Hole at a time of grief and reinvention\, to performing alongside figures such as Courtney Love\, Billy Corgan\, Dave Grohl\, Rufus Wainwright and Michael Stipe\, her memoir captures the chaos\, beauty and brutality of the last analogue decade. \nFar from nostalgia\, Auf der Maur explores identity\, ambition\, survival and self‑expression in an era before social media – when artists crafted their worlds long before they crafted their online personas. Her reflections offer rare female perspectives from within a landscape that was often mythologised but rarely shown through a woman’s eyes. \nWith praise from Shirley Manson\, Walton Goggins\, Natasha Lyonne and Martha Wainwright\, the memoir is a powerful\, poetic and unflinchingly human portrait of a generation that defined modern alternative culture. \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Melissa Auf der Maur on the stories\, themes and revelations behind Even the Good Girls Will Cry\nDeep‑dive discussion on creativity\, identity and navigating fame within 1990s alternative rock\nInsights into authorship\, memory and the process of capturing a cultural moment on the page\nAudience Q&A\, offering a chance to engage directly with Melissa about her life\, art and writing\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, inspiring and powerfully personal evening with one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and fearless voices. \nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Roma Routes - Art\, Identity\, and Expression from Hungary - Free Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 8 April to mark International Roma Day for Roma Routes\, an evening of photography\, film\, and contemporary art exploring the journeys that shape Roma identity. Bringing together documentary work from a collaborative project in Tiszavasvári\, Hungary\, and artistic reflections by London-based Roma artist Robert Czibi\, the exhibition traces connections between place\, memory\, and belonging. Through images\, stories\, and personal perspectives\, Roma Routes invites audiences to reflect on how identity is shaped between the places we come from and the places we continue to become. \nThis exhibition brings together two intertwined narratives: the story of a segregated Roma community in Tiszavasvári\, and that of an artist born in another Roma neighbourhood in the same region who has carried its memory across borders. \nThe first story is that of collaboration: stepping across internal borders between the countryside and the Hungarian capital\, Budapest\, to involve participants from the Roma neighbourhood of a small town in the North-East of Hungary in a collaborative writing project with local non-Roma residents through the publication of the periodical Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together. \nThe second story is of the artist\, Robert Czibi who crossed internal borders of identity and the physical borders of countries on many occasions before finding his expressive voice in the multiplicity of London’s lingua-culture. The simultaneity of identity as rootedness in Roma origins and identity as motion and interaction with our surroundings is what unites the two narratives that unfold in the images exhibited together. \n\nThe Road Ahead\nDocumentary and Photography Projects from Hungary – Film and photography \nThis photo exhibition was created in collaboration between photojournalist Márton Kállai\, multiple-winner of the Hungarian Press Photo Competition\, and the Tiszavasvári Roma Girls’ Youth Club\, on the initiative of the KRE Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation research group at Károli Gáspár University in Budapest. Together\, Roma and non-Roma participants from Tiszavasvári and Budapest write and publish the journal Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together\, creating a narrative of trust and belonging about Roma futures and the coexistence of Roma and non-Roma in Hungary. The documentary film Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together: Stories of a collaborative journal in support of Roma social participation showcases stages from their journey together: how they forged a collaborative writing and research collective across the borders of identity that separate people living alongside each other. \n\n\nThere I Was Born\, Here I Become\nContemporary Art \nRobert Czibi’s artistic response unfolds as a parallel journey alongside the documentary and the photos. Although Robert’s works reflect his individual journey as a London-based Roma artist from Hungary\, his journey explores the potentialities that open up when collectives or individuals persistently criss-cross and interrogate physical and narrative borders of identity. Through his works\, he returns to the landscapes of his childhood not only to remember\, but to understand how identity is formed between the place of birth and the place of becoming. Through images\, he explores what it means to grow up in a Roma family\, to leave it behind\, and to continue carrying its imprint in his works. Together\, his artworks create a dialogue between here and there\, between collective memory and personal transformation. \n\n\nProgramme \n\n18:30 – Film screening (25 minutes)\n19:00 – Panel discussion – The Road Ahead – Documentary and Photography Projects from Hungary\n19:30 – There I Was Born\, Here I Become – Private view\n21:00 – End of Event\n\n\n\nWe warmly invite audiences to join us for an evening of photography\, film and contemporary art marking International Roma Day. Through documentary images\, collaborative storytelling and personal artistic reflection\, Roma Routes opens a space to engage with questions of identity\, belonging\, and the journeys that shape Roma lives across places and generations. \nThe exhibition offers an opportunity to encounter the voices and perspectives behind these projects and to reflect on how communities and individuals navigate the paths between heritage\, memory and new beginnings. \nRegistration is open via Eventbrite. \nThe event is supported by the National Research\, Development and Innovation Office – Hungary and organised by the Liszt Institute London

SUMMARY:International Women's Day: Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate International Women’s Day 2026\, the Royal Hospital Chelsea is delighted to partner with photographer Jackie King to display a collection of never-before-seen photographs showing some of the 19 female Chelsea Pensioners who currently call the Royal Hospital their home. \nWomen were first admitted to the Royal Hospital Chelsea as Chelsea Pensioners in 2009\, a full three hundred and seventeen years after the Hospital first opened its doors to Army veterans. Since 2009\, many women have chosen to become part of the Royal Hospital community\, donning their scarlet coats with pride. Yet today – seventeen years later – many people are still surprised when they meet a female Chelsea Pensioner. \nThrough her photos\, Jackie King highlights the character of some of the female Chelsea Pensioners currently resident with us. Showcasing the individualism of each sitter\, she shares their unique stories visually\, while representing how embedded in the Royal Hospital community female Pensioners are today.

SUMMARY:REUNION 79:21 - Revisiting Black Queer London Clubland
DESCRIPTION:For a short run of five days\, queer club culture returns to Soho with an archival exhibition exploring over four decades of Black queer nightlife and community in London. \n  \nWhereas focus is often placed on the white gay scene\, this exhibition showcases the history of Black queer club culture from the late 1970s to the present by documenting lived experience\, collective memory and self-representation through previously unpublished images and memorabilia sourced from public and private archives. \n  \nIn the 1980s\, Black queer and trans people in the UK began to attend underground parties as sanctuaries from discrimination\, creating community through music and dance. Inspired by the queer collectives in Chicago and Detroit\, the London nightlife scene combined US musical forms with home grown genres. \n  \nBrothers Steve and Dave Swindell were at the heart of London clubland\, Steve running successful nights like ‘The Lift’ and ‘Jungle’ with Dave documenting the emergence of Black queer visibility. His intimate imagery is shown alongside Jason Manning’s photographs taken in the bolder years that followed. \n  \nREUNION 79:21 is complemented by a programme of films and talks that expand on themes of kinship and shared belonging\, HIV and early LGBTQ activism\, and the fight for individual sovereignty at a critical time in the UK.

SUMMARY:Connecting Threads
DESCRIPTION:Great Pulteney Street Gallery rings in 2026 with a group exhibition that explores the links between marginalised materials and cultural hierarchies. For Connecting Threads Paul Carey-Kent and Christina Niederberger selected eleven artists whose works broaden the scope of textile art. \nHaving long been dismissed as inferior to painting and sculpture\, stitched\, woven and threaded works are increasingly receiving attention and recognition\, yet are still widely considered as separate from traditional fine art disciplines. Just as aspects of identity relating to race\, sexuality or gender are becoming more fluid\, so are artists redefining their practice in terms of medium\, material or methodology. \nThe participants in Connecting Threads incorporate physical and conceptual elements of textile art into painting\, photography and sculpture in response to societal and political shifts. Sam Owen Hull comments on an increasingly polarised world with the material contradictions of spontaneous painterly marks and considered hand embroidery\, while Christine Niederberger interweaves unconscious readings of Abstract Expressionism as a male domain with textile elements widely perceived as female. Michael Raedecker and Tamar Mason both explore the impact of humanity on the natural world\, from an urban and rural perspective\, respectively. \nWith the majority of works in the show leaning towards more abstract and conceptual approaches\, Caroline Achaintre’s and Debbie Lawson’s tapestries bear the closest resemblance to traditional textile art. The former creates hybrid characters by blending materials and cultural references; the latter hides imaginary creatures in patterned carpets. \nJulie Cockburn and Berend Strik both use textile techniques to add new meaning to found photographs\, while Hannah Knox mirrors the meditative slowness of knitting when meticulously painting items of clothing. Kate Terry uses thread to draw physical lines into space while John Walter digitally re-engineers popular textile patterns to draw attention to the intersection of art\, science and architecture. \nThe location itself provides a link to Soho’s rag trade legacy that has evolved from fabric traders and garment showrooms to flagship boutiques and a fashion destination.

SUMMARY:Pixels and Poetics: Private View
DESCRIPTION:Pixels and Poetics: Sudek\, Funke and the Influence of New Technologies on the Development of Photography connects the world of interwar analogue photography with the visual aesthetics of today’s digital age. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to trace how the image has transformed over two centuries—from tangible traces of light to synthetic visual worlds created by artificial intelligence. \nThe exhibition presents iconic works by Josef Sudek and Jaromír Funke\, whose photographs demonstrate how light\, composition\, and atmosphere can transform reality into poetic or constructive visual worlds. These classical approaches are complemented by historical photomontages\, double exposures\, and analogue manipulations\, showing how deeply the desire to reshape the image is established in the tradition of photography. The historical works in the exhibition are drawn from the PPF Art collection\, which plays a key role in preserving and presenting Czech photographic heritage. \nThe contemporary section of the exhibition develops this dialogue through artists working with AI and generative technologies. In her work Your Addiction Is the Message\, Barbora Trnková reveals the mechanisms of visual dependency in the digital environment and the role of technologies in shaping our perceptions. Lenka Hamošová\, in the project Troubling GAN and the series Strange Attractions\, explores both the aesthetics and limitations of neural networks\, showing how algorithms create and reproduce stereotypes or visual hallucinations. A collaborative work by Trnková and Javůrek\, Generation of Princesses\, uses generative models to critically reflect on pop-culture ideals of femininity and their digital reconstruction. The exhibition offers a visually compelling and accessible perspective on how our understanding of the image\, reality\, and the things we are willing to believe when we look\, is changing. \nOrganised by the Czech Centre with the kind support of the PPF Foundation. \nEXHIBITION OPENING\nTuesday 20 January 2026\, 6.30 – 8.30 pm\nFree entry \nRegister Here
