The exhibition explores the translation of lived experience: motherhood\, play\, and the search for inner harmony – into visual language\, color\, and symbolization in a nuanced exploration of the self in the present day. \nAnna Kiparis‘ painting style can be described as a system of play. In her works like The Piece\, Panopticon and Carousel\, and Carousel\, Anna Kiparis creates her own framework using elements of games like chess\, cards\, and circular movements. The cow is an element that can be found in all of Anna Kiparis’ works\, both as an element that participates in the game and as an element that observes the game. \nTatiana Fetisova‘s style can be described as “balloonized realism.” In her works like Balancing and Chasing the Air\, Tatiana combines elements of figurative painting with elements of inflated objects that serve both as metaphors for vision and emotion. \nWorks by Olga Bonitas are included in the exhibition from her series Watching Them Grow in watercolour: Tree Adventure\, High up above and Not Just a Tree. Informed by the lived experience of motherhood\, Bonitas’s work addresses the often-unnecessary tension between creative practice and motherhood. The works are created in a fragile but direct manner to prioritize the lived experience of motherhood from the margins to the center of creative practice. \nThe artists’ works can be described as three perspectives that connect with each other in terms of perception and experience. The artists’ works in this exhibition encourage viewers to look at the ways in which personal realities are constructed\, negotiated\, and re-imagined in contemporary art. \nMore information: http://thekulttalk.com/project/Through-Her-Eyes URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/exhibition-through-her-eyes/ LOCATION:Friendly Grounds\, Friendly Grounds\, 232 Old Brompton Road\, London\, UK\, London\, SW5 0DE\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Events in London,Exhibitions,Free Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Anna-Kiparis-copy-e1773062642562.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260304T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260404T113000 DTSTAMP:20260404T221139 CREATED:20260226T013701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T013701Z UID:30119372-1772618400-1775302200@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Line Dance Classes DESCRIPTION:Line Dance – 10:10–11:40 | Hall\n\nCost: £4\nAge Group: All Ages\nLine Dance sessions offer a fun and social way for participants to stay active while learning choreographed dance routines to a variety of music styles.

The first series is inspired by Karl Popper and explores the idea of truth as provisional and constantly shifting. Through concentric circles and lenticular elements\, the works change according to the viewer’s position. Human Collage blends abstraction and realism using fragmented figures. The series reflects on the complexity of identity and human experience. \nJeff Robb – Conjectures and Refutations \n05 March – 11 April 2026 \nOpening Hours: \nTue-Sat: 10.00AM-6.00PM \nSun-Mon: by appointment only \nFree Entry URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/jeff-robb-conjectures-and-refutations-free-exhibition/ LOCATION:Cris Contini Contemporary\, 1 Lonsdale road\, London\, W11 2BY CATEGORIES:Arts,Events in London,Exhibitions,Free Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/CC-invite-e1771229863123.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cris Contini Contemporary":MAILTO:info@criscontinicontemporary.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260306T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260419T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T221139 CREATED:20260202T065110Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260202T065110Z UID:30116241-1772798400-1776621600@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:The House - Exhibition DESCRIPTION:IMT Gallery presents The House\, an exhibition of works by Tom Clark\, Guest-Host-Guest\, Harri Harrison\, Heiðdís Hólm\, Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson\, Anna Sebastian\, Kristina Stallvik and Suzanne Treister. It features work that all\, often through degrees of autobiography\, speaks to some of the discordances of being at home: perhaps the anticipation of order amidst the everyday; or an expectation of comfort\, often amidst insecurity or tension. \nThe exhibition is a place where we might live. Often\, when visitors come to this gallery\, they ask her if she lives here. They ask\, “Do you live here?” They ask\, “Are these your cats?” I lived here once too. I don’t anymore. This exhibition is about living somewhere. Perhaps it is about reaching for this thing. \nIn the words of Guest-Host-Guest: ‘Here\, the house is a metaphor for assumed belonging. A place we are expected to be ‘resolved’ or ‘satisfied’\, even when displacement\, precarity\, and contested ownership sit just beneath the surface.’ \nThe exhibition is a hand with a mirror in front of it. The mirror reflects some flowers or a field. Behind the hand is a sky. In front of the sky is a blank\, featureless wall. All these things at various distances from the camera. A cat; a home; a gallery; a municipality listed on a birth certificate (since burned). The house. \nCurating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency\nOnline Course with Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson \nApril – May 2026 \nOrganised to coincide with The House\, join us for a four-session online course exploring how we live with art\, and how the art we live with shapes the way we live. \nHeld fortnightly\, Curating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency invites you to look closely at the rooms\, objects\, and artworks that surround you. Drawing on art practices\, histories\, philosophy\, exhibition-making\, and practices of everyday attention\, we will explore how meaning is shaped through arrangement\, context\, and the lived rhythms of domestic space. \nLed by artist\, educator\, and curator Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson and hosted by IMT Gallery\, each session brings together case studies\, creative exercises\, and guided activities designed to help you think with and through your own environment. \nPlaces are limited — the course begins 12 April.

As each section blends into the next and layers of imaginary florals cover the dreamlike landscape\, Thompson takes us on a visual journey that merges ancient folklore with hopes for the future. \n  \nInitially approaching flora and fauna\, and exotic plants in particular\, with scientific curiosity\, Thompson’s art is guided by intuition and an interest in the less tangible qualities\, expressing her love for nature. Carrying the sun within them\, her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in collections as far afield as Dubai and the Americas. \n  \nJourney of Light marks the tenth anniversary of Özlem Sorlu Thompson’s move to North London and serves as a symbolic link between her motherland and her chosen home.

AND WE HIRED A BLOKE TO FIX THE WALL” DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to present “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, a solo exhibition by Italian street artist Beast\, curated by Luca Curci\, on view in London from March 13 until 21 March 2026 at ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, in London. \nThe exhibition brings together a selection of works from Beast’s most recent series\, exploring the relationship between memory\, history\, and the physical traces of time embedded in urban surfaces. Active since 2009\, Beast has realised over 200 urban installations across more than 40 cities in Europe\, the United States and Japan. His early practice focused on political and social themes\, often presented through satirical mash-ups of contemporary figures framed in gold and placed directly in public space. Over time\, his work expanded in scale\, moving towards large-format paste-ups and monumental interventions on abandoned buildings. \nThroughout this evolution\, the street has remained central to his practice\, conceived as an open and democratic space for artistic dialogue. In recent years\, Beast has turned his attention towards history and memory\, developing an ongoing body of work that places portraits of cultural figures on the walls of abandoned historical centres. These locations – often damaged\, neglected or left to decay – are not treated as neutral backdrops\, but as integral components of the work itself. \nThe series “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, which also gives its title to the exhibition\, presents portraits of influential figures from culture\, philosophy\, literature\, art and psychology. Among those featured are Carl Gustav Jung\, Philip Roth\, Jackson Pollock\, Albert Camus and Noam Chomsky. Rather than functioning as celebratory images\, these works present the subjects as enduring presences emerging from the material history of the places they inhabit. \nThe technique behind the works is central to their meaning. Each piece begins with the wall itself\, which is first photographed in detail. The texture of the surface—its cracks\, stains and signs of erosion – is digitally overlaid onto the portrait of the chosen subject. The resulting image is then printed and installed on the same wall\, aligning imperfections so that the figure appears to surface from within the architecture. Image and wall merge\, creating the impression that memory is embedded in the structure itself. The conceptual foundation of the series is inspired by a statement from historian Howard Zinn: “If you don’t know history\, it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday\, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything\, and you have no way of checking up on it.” \nFor Beast\, historical awareness represents a form of resistance against manipulation and collective amnesia. The title of the exhibition introduces a subtle but deliberate irony. “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall” evokes the idea of a practical solution to decay\, suggesting that damage can simply be repaired or concealed. In contrast\, Beast exposes the wall rather than fixing it\, treating cracks and erosion as carriers of meaning rather than flaws to be corrected.

Lives We Cannot Live reveals the hidden reality of living with the condition. \nCurated by Sebah Chaudhry and supported by the ME Association\, the exhibition sets out to bring visibility to a hidden and neglected community and encompasses environmental portraits\, collaged with diary notes and personal memories of before being ill\, selected from more than 50 cases. \nDiagnosed with ME as a teenager\, Jeffs shares the lived experiences of his sitters and captures an intimate side of life rarely witnessed even by close friends. Hidden symptoms mixed with a general lack of awareness make this a doubly invisible and isolating disease. \n“I started this project out of frustration and anger because in the almost four decades since my diagnosis nothing has really changed. We still don’t know much about ME\, there’s still a lack of proper funding for research\, no clear treatment\, and worse\, there’s still widespread misunderstanding about the illness\, even among some healthcare professionals.” \nAround 400\,000 people in the UK have this debilitating and as yet incurable illness. Symptoms include profound fatigue\, sleep disturbance\, post-exertional malaise\, cognitive difficulties and a range of other symptoms like pain\, headaches\, nausea and intolerance to lights and noise. \nLives We Cannot Live is the first large scale project to focus on ME and precedes the publication of a photo book with Fistful of Books later this year.

At a time when community can feel especially important\, we open our doors to everyone\, whether you observe Nowruz each year\, are discovering Persian culture\, holidays and traditions for the first time\, or just want to join in. \nEmbracing the arrival of spring\, Nowruz is a 14 day tradition enjoyed for more than 3\,000 years by over 300 million people worldwide\, particularly across Western Asia\, Central Asia\, the Caucasus\, the Black Sea Basin\, the Balkans\, and South Asia. Deeply rooted in Persian culture\, Nowruz is marked by renewal\, hope and time spent together with friends and family\, especially outdoors. The Nowruz festivities culminate after 13 days on Sizdeh Bedar\, also known as Nature’s Day\, during which people spend time picnicking outdoors to keep bad luck at bay. \nWaterlow Park\, with its secret enclaves\, ponds and myriad of trees (including a Persian Ironwood)\, brings to mind a Persian garden\, and has become an important and beautiful place for local families and friends to come together. For the third year\, we are bringing the festivities inside Lauderdale House under the guidance of our Artist/Curator Mehrdad Aref-Adib.

Responding directly to the ongoing ecological collapse\, violent destruction\, and the pervasive sense of uncertainty\, Sheer Presence acts as a cosmopolitical manifestation tool—a profound call to remain awake\, intentional\, and attuned to unseen forces shaping our shared reality. \nDrawing inspiration from Blaise Agüera y Arcas’ recent book What Is Life? Evolution as Computation (MIT Press\, 2025)\, the exhibition explores Sheer Presence as the distinct intrusion of another entity— often animal or virtual—disrupting the human order. Echoing the 8th-century Tibetan Buddhist Tattvasangraha text (verses 2892-2893)\, Roberts emphasises presence as the fundamental ability of an entity to profoundly influence and alter its environment\, reshaping perceptions and expanding experiences of reality. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is an ancient manifestation grid\, activated through six thematic “nodes”: ancestors>
