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

SUMMARY:N’olcak Bu Yusuf Umut’un HALİ? - What Will Become Of Yusuf Umut?
DESCRIPTION:N’olcak Bu Yusuf Umut’un Hali? –  What Will Become Of Yusuf Umut? \n“I’m Yusuf Umut. People usually ask which one I actually use — Yusuf or Umut?\nI tell them I don’t really like either of them\, so I use both.\nMy grandfather insisted on Yusuf: ‘a prophet’s name\, may it bring blessings.’\nMy mother wanted Umut: ‘hope.’\nSo here I am — Yusuf Umut.” \nYusuf Umut tells the story of a young man who is running toward a freedom he can’t quite define\, yet cannot abandon.\nBut can this undefined sense of freedom finally carry him toward belonging — freeing him from fold-out couches\, rules\, and limits? \nLet’s also ask from here:\nWhat will become of Yusuf Umut? \nAwards\nSadri Alışık Theatre Awards 2024 / Nominee — Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical\nNew Theatre Magazine Awards 2023 / Winner — Best Solo Performance \n

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:SEVGİLİ ARSIZ ÖLÜM DİRMİT - Dear Shameless Death Dirmit
DESCRIPTION:Sevgili Arsız Ölüm Dirmit – Dear Shameless Death Dirmit \n“The unfulfilled dreams shattered the lives of the people I grew up among…\nI struggled endlessly to adapt to the city. I was bruised all over.\nWhile fighting\, I drifted away from the people I grew up with.\nBut I resisted — to protect my language\, my values\, and the love those people carried into my life with irrepressible joy.\nThis novel is their gift to me — to this resistance.”\n– Latife Tekin \nAbout the Play \n‘’We witness the struggle of a crowded family that has migrated from a village to the city\, told through the eyes of the youngest daughter\, Dirmit.\nConfined to a single-room home\, every member finds their own way to survive the city.\nDirmit\, however\, pushes through all obstacles with her relentless curiosity and strength to resist.\nHer mother\, Atiye\, father Huvat\, and brothers try to protect her from the city and discipline her through tradition and custom\, but Dirmit refuses to shrink herself. She keeps moving\, transforming\, insisting on claiming her own voice.\nAnd Dirmit… does she ever stop? She does not.’’\n– Hakan Emre Ünal & Nezaket Erden

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.”
