SUMMARY:Why Ash Regan’s ‘Unbuyable’ bill is right for Scotland: Unravelling the myths around the Nordic Model
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Ash Regan\, independent MSP for Edinburgh Eastern\, will be joining us on Sunday\, 11 January for a webinar to discuss her Unbuyable bill. The bill seeks to lessen the harms from prostitution in Scotland through a holistic approach known as the Nordic Model. \nAsh will be joined by Venessa\, a survivor of the Scottish sex industry and Heli St Luce. The seminar will be introduced and chaired by Emily Husain. \nFollowing a short presentation by each speaker\, our panel will answer your questions\, which you can submit during the seminar or in advance by email. \nThe Unbuyable bill\, officially the Prostitution\, Offences and Support (Scotland) Bill\, reflects the Nordic Model approach to prostitution\, first introduced in Sweden in 1999. Here selling of sex by individual women is decriminalised\, but the buying of sexual services becomes a criminal offence. Crucially\, the Unbuyable bill also provides extensive support services for those wishing to exit prostitution and will clear any previous convictions a woman may have for soliciting. \nUnfortunately\, there are many myths around the Nordic model\, often circulated by organisations purporting to act in the best interests of sex workers. Some of these take the form of bad faith arguments\, others rely on falsifiable data\, while others still infantilise men or romanticise what is in reality a dangerous and unromantic activity. \nWhatever your views on the Unbuyable bill\, please join us for what will be an interesting and informative webinar. \nThe webinar is free\, but you need to register in advance. \nWebinar Details\nThis webinar will be hosted in Zoom and is expected to last about 90 minutes. We will email registered attendees shortly before the event with details of how to join. If you can’t see the email\, please check your spam folders. \nQuestions\nThere will be an option to submit questions during the event\, but you are welcome to email in advance any questions you would like our panellists to consider. Please put ‘Webinar Question’ in the subject line and email it to info@nordicmodelnow.org. Time constraints mean\, however\, that we will be limited in how many questions we can address. \nThis is a mixed event\nThis event is open to everyone. The event will include discussion of some difficult issues\, including male violence to women and children. We ask everyone\, but particularly men\, to be mindful of this and how members of the audience may find this triggering because it resonates with their own experiences of male violence. We ask everyone to be open and respectful. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/why-ash-regans-unbuyable-bill-is-right-for-scotland-tickets-1972612307513

SUMMARY:Comedy Unleashed
DESCRIPTION:Comedy Unleashed is a night of free-thinking comedy with comedians who don’t self-censor! \nWhy Comedy Unleashed? \nAndrew Doyle: “Andy Shaw and I set up Comedy Unleashed because we feel that the time is right for a new alternative comedy movement. We book comics from all political backgrounds\, or those who have no interest in politics at all. Our key criteria is that they are talented and funny. ” \nFeaturing: \nLeo Kearse \nAward-winning Scottish comedian\, prolific satirist and comic commentator on the madness that surrounds us . Leo always gets a reta reception at the club and always does new material. Here’s a video of Leo at the London club \nKelli! Taylor \nKelly is a celebrity hairdresser from Hull. She lives\, laughs\, and loves. \nShe cares about everything\, and to show support for a cause\, she often puts a filter on her Facebook profile picture and sets that for the week. She’s one of life’s givers. \nElle Brent \nElle is a rising star on the comedy scene and a self-proclaimed storyteller with a sharp tongue and an eye for detail. Once described by Phil Kay as a demon in angel’s clothing. There are very few subjects that Elle won’t tackle\, and she certainly doesn’t hold back in the process. \nMary Bourke \nMary has the fearlessness of the Irish and is unafraid of challenging the censorious climate. Here’s a video of Mary at the London club. \nDominic Frisby \nDominic will perform new songs. \nTicket buyers will be added to the Comedy Unleashed email newsletter. You’re free to unsubscribe at any time. \n(Artists on the bill may be changed)

SUMMARY:Simon Evans Is Staring at The Sun
DESCRIPTION:Work of the Devil was the show that stood Simon Evans’ previous quarter century of stand-up on its head. Simon was and remains an immensely popular and highly respected stand-up comedian\, known for his trademark\, sardonic and mischievously contemptuous attitude towards received wisdom\, identity politics and the liberal consensus. But with extraordinary revelations arriving following a DNA test in 2018\, Evans was forced to reappraise everything he’d previously taken for granted about his place in the world. He and his fans still regard it as probably his finest hour\, and many have described it as one of the most extraordinary stand-up shows they’ve ever seen. \nAs Chortle’s Jay Richardson said when reviewing the show’s first outing in 2019\, “You tend to expect a high standard of stand-up from this veteran performer. But in sharing something so deeply personal\, he’s exceeded what seemed to be his full potential… Outstanding stuff.”

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\, REGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pixels-and-poetics-private-view-tickets-1977922480383?aff=oddtdtcreator\nEXHIBITION DATES: 20 January – 13 March 2026\nVENUES & OPENING TIMES \nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10am – 5pm \nBouda Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n132 Palace Gardens Terrace\, Kensington\, London\, W8 4RT\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10am – 5pm \nPublic space outside of the Czech Embassy\, London\n26 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4RT\nAccessible 24/7

SUMMARY:Peter Peri in Conversation with Dávid Fehér – Book launch and display of recent paintings
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Liszt Institute London for an evening celebrating the launch of a new monograph on Peter Peri\, published by Einspach Czapolai Fine Art. \nPeri will be in conversation with Dávid Fehér\, Director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts. Their discussion will explore Peri’s artistic practice\, key themes in his work\, and the ideas shaping his most recent projects\, offering insight into both the newly published monograph and his wider artistic trajectory. \nThe event will also feature a display of Peri’s latest paintings in the gallery\, providing a unique opportunity to experience his practice first-hand alongside the critical perspectives presented in the publication. \nCopies of the book will be available on site. All are welcome to attend. Register via Eventbrite. \n\n\nPeter Peri (b. 1971\, London) \nPeter Peri’s primary media are drawing\, sculpture\, and painting: three distinct bodies of work that are developed independently by the artist to create a complex set of interrelations. All works are specifically invested in the tension between line and volume\, figuration and abstraction\, and in the questioning of tradition and influence in Modernism. \nA graduate of Chelsea College of Art\, he made his debut at Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2003. He has exhibited widely internationally\, including Tate Britain\, the Hayward Gallery\, and Kunsthalle Basel. Peri’s work can be found in the collections of Tate\, the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Budapest. Peri’s work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Peter László Péri (1899–1967)\, a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism \n\n\nDávid Fehér \nDávid Fehér is an art historian\, director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and assistant professor at the Institute of Art History at the Eötvös Loránd University. His research covers 20th-century and contemporary art\, including Pop Art\, Photorealism\, and related movements. He has curated numerous exhibitions and has published widely in academic journals\, exhibition catalogues\, and art publications. He is a member of the Hungarian Section of the International Association of Art Critics.

SUMMARY:SUSANNAH STARK & BAND + POTIK
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nSUSANNAH STARK & BAND\nPOTIK\nTuesday 20 January\nTheatreship\, South Quay Plaza\, London\, E14 9SH\n7.30pm | £10 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/Db4300074e6f \nSUSANNAH STARK’s new album opens with questions that set its reflective tone while drifting on a current of birdsong\, rivers and synths. Sung in Gaidhlig and English\, her second album for Stroom and Night School\, ‘Minor Gestures’\, is a dialogue between place\, history and the listener. Collaborating with experimental and folk musicians in Glasgow\, Stark navigates acoustic textures with fluidity while blending breath\, drone and rhythm. The result is a meditative soundscape that celebrates vulnerability and curiosity. From the responsive waters of ‘Caochan’ to the unanswered queries of ‘Ceistean gun freagairtean’\, this is ritualistic sonic poetry. \nhttps://susannahstarkmusic.bandcamp.com/ \nPOTIK is artist Karolina Lebek\, working across a range of media including video\, photography\, sound\, installation and live performance. Her practice\, exploring interests in consciousness\, ecology and mental health\, gives new form to the exploration of the sacred\, the ritual and the body\, in the context of geological time. Through the desire to capture the affect of memory\, she’s expressing subtle and perturbing worlds\, building her own lexicon of symbolic language\, populated by unspoken narratives\, and haunting material mysteries\, exploring emotional and physical worlds\, both within oneself and those around us. \n \n

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:Iconomorphosis
DESCRIPTION:Iconomorphosis describes the transformation of meaning through works of art that conceal their message until placed in a relevant cultural context. The eight artists in in this exhibition explore deceptive realities in contemporary life with works ranging from painting and sculpture to film and performance. \nCurated by Othello De’Souza-Hartley\, the exhibition addresses the tension between internal perceptions and external preconceptions\, through visual codes and symbolisms informed by individual experience and collective memory.  \nKamalishe Hiraldo\, Arlene Wandera and Abdollah Nafisi explore notions of belonging through working with discarded\, rejected or repurposed objects and materials\, while Taballa Tabasom’s practice is an enquiry into body memory and belonging through gendered and queer perspectives. \nWorking in sculpture and film respectively\, Sonia E Barrett and Blue Smith transform historical objects and archival footage into tools of narrative-making from within a postcolonial framework. \nOthello De’Souza’s integrates found objects into his predominantly black paintings as an invitation to look beyond first impressions or perceived imperfections\, while the ‘Black Nausea’ in BLCKGEEZER’s work has its origin in the artist’s ongoing experience of breast cancer and chemotherapy. \nWhether picked at random or for their inherent qualities\, for aesthetic or emotional reasons\, the elements that inform the works in Iconomorphosis provide a visual bridge between remembered pasts and imagined futures and question notions of unconditional truth.
