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: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:Young People (11–16yrs ): Visual Narratives with Maliheh Zafarnezhad
DESCRIPTION:In this two-hour creative session led by The View from Here exhibition artist Maliheh Zafarnezhad\, young people will dive deeper into the rich visual world of Leighton House. \nUsing a curated selection of images – historic photographs\, architectural details\, decorative tiles\, and objects from the museum – they will explore experimental image-transfer processes to build layered\, contemporary artworks. \nThe workshop will focus on visual storytelling: How can an image be transformed? How do we give historical objects new meaning? Young artists will experiment with composition\, contrast\, and mixed-media techniques to create artworks that blend the past with their own voice and perspective. \nBy the end of the workshop\, each participant will have a unique piece that reinterprets the museum’s visual heritage through their own imagination and artistic choices. \n  \nUseful information: \n· This is a drop-off workshop suitable for unaccompanied people aged 11-16 years. \n·       All workshops take place in the Learning Centre at Leighton House. \n·       All materials are provided. \n·       Entry to the museum and exhibitions is included for young people joining the workshop. Adults can enjoy the garden and Drawings Gallery for free\, or visit the café\, but will need to buy an admission ticket if they wish to visit the historic house. \n  \nMeet Maliheh Zafarnezhad \nMaliheh Zafarnezhad is an Irish-Iranian artist and educator whose work explores themes of identity\, memory\, and cultural hybridity. Based between London and Milton Keynes\, she draws on her experience as an Iranian-born artist living in the diaspora to create evocative\, multi-layered visual narratives. Maliheh holds an MA in History of Art from the University of Limerick\, Ireland\, and a B.Sc. in Geology from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad\, Iran. Her cross-disciplinary background informs a unique artistic approach that blends research\, visual storytelling\, and cultural reflection. Working primarily with photography\, she reimagines old photographs by incorporating collage\, painting\, found objects\, and stylistic elements inspired by Persian miniatures. These techniques allow her to transform archival images into contemporary reflections on personal and collective histories. \n  \nFor updates on all of our upcoming events sign up to our museums e-newsletter

SUMMARY:Talk: The Invention of British Art - Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:You have to try really hard\, it seems\, to like British art. Even its admirers concede it has contributed little to world art history. Tate\, the closest thing we have to a gallery of British art\, assigns less than a quarter of its display space to works made before 1900. Outside Britain\, only one gallery in the whole world is dedicated to British art\, in Yale. Few people visit it. \nWhy is British art so overlooked? Is it because Britain itself has never been enthusiastic about art\, and indeed remains ill at ease with it today? Is it\, quite simply\, bad? Or has British art suffered an injustice\, its impact on the world unfairly disregarded? \nNone of these questions can be answered without a frank reassessment of the history of British art\, those who made it\, and those it was made for. Now\, leading art historian Bendor Grosvenor is taking on that challenge. Looking at key moments\, objects and individuals from every era\, he explores how they were shaped by their environment\, and why – above all – it took so long for the art from theses isles to actually become ‘British’. \nFrom folk art to the role of female artists\, from the influences of invaders to the territories of the British Empire\, the story of British art is just as much a story of Britain’s place in the world\, and its impact upon it\, as the art and artists themselves. \nBendor Grosvenor is an art historian specialising in Old Masters and British art. Best known from the BBC series ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’ and ‘Fake or Fortune?’\, he has discovered a number of important paintings by prominent artists including Van Dyck\, Rubens\, Titian\, Gainsborough\, Beale and Lawrence.

SUMMARY:An Accidental History of Tudor England – Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:How did ordinary people live in Tudor England? This unique analysis unearths the ways they died to find out. Far from the intrigues of Hampton Court Palace\, Shakespeare’s plots and the Spanish Armada\, explore the history of everyday life\, and everyday death. \nThis was a world where farming\, building and travel were dangerous. Fruit trees killed more people than guns\, and sheep killed about the same number of people as coalmines. Men stabbed themselves playing football and women drowned in the hundreds while fetching water. \nFrom bear attacks in north Oxford to a bowls-on-ice incident on the Thames\, Steven Gunn and Tomasz Gromelski use a remarkable trove of sources and stories to put common folk at the heart of Tudor England\, bringing the reality of their world to life as never before.

SUMMARY:Lancelot Ribeiro: Heads – In and Out of Our Time - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ben Uri Gallery & Museum\, 108a Boundary Road\, St John’s Wood\, London NW8 ORH – Open: 18 September–29 November\, Wednesdays to Fridays: 10 am – 5.30 pm.   \nThis revealing exhibition is part of Ben Uri’s principal focus on researching\, digitally documenting\, disseminating and celebrating the importance of the Jewish\, Refugee\, and broad Immigrant contribution to British visual culture since 1900 – see buru.org.uk and diasporaartists.net both resources within benuri.org. \nThe Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU) is honoured to partner with the Estate of Lancelot Ribeiro to present Lancelot Ribeiro: Heads—In and Out of Our Time\, borrowing its title from the artist’s long-planned but unrealised concept for an exhibition. Featuring 20 paintings and drawings\, it focuses on Ribeiro’s preoccupation with portraiture and imagined heads from two of the most innovative decades of his practice\, the 1960s and the 1990s. \nBorn into a Catholic Goan family in present-day Mumbai in 1933\, Ribeiro followed his older half-brother F N Souza to Britain in 1950\, after India’s independence and Partition. After returning to India and becoming an artist\, Ribeiro settled permanently in Britain in 1962. Inspired by Indian and Goan architecture and the Christian tradition in which he was raised\, he utilised his heads and portraits to explore concepts of power and evil\, described by one reviewer as: ‘Colonialists\, kings\, tyrants\, Christ (resurrected)\, tycoons\, women and thugs’ (Bombay Artist Aid Centre review\, 1961)\, among them the monumental Crowned King (c. 1963) and powerful King Lear (1964\, Ben Uri Collection). Ribeiro’s experiments with new materials\, among them polyvinyl acetate or PVA (a precursor of acrylic paint)\, sometimes mixed with other nontraditional media\, including string\, resulting in a set of radical\, faceless\, abstracted heads\, known as the Psychedelic Man series. In his later work\, Ribeiro often worked on a large scale\, employing brilliant acrylics mixed with elements of collage while disassembling\, reimagining and reinvigorating the head in works including the vivid blue Madonna\, Rising from the Banks of Main. Yet Ribeiro’s close friend and fellow poet\, Indian translator and critic R. Parthasarathy suggests that Ribeiro’s ‘true subject’ was always his ‘origins – Goan roots\, estrangement from India\, and exile in London’. \nA supporting display in the lower galleries features 20 stylistically diverse and innovative paintings\, sculptures\, and works on paper of heads and portraits from the Ben Uri collection by artists including Frank Auerbach\, David Breuer-Weil\, Dodo\, Alfred Harris\, Sarah Lightman\, Alfred Lomnitz\, Hormazd Narielwalla\, Oscar Nemon\, Mosheh Oved\, Paul Richards\, and Samuel Fyzee-Rahamin. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a series of related talks and events and a fully illustrated online publication with essays by contributors\, including the artist’s daughter\, Marsha Ribeiro\, poet and critic R. Parthasarathy\, and conservator Patricia Smithen.

SUMMARY:Making the West End a fashion destination
