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.

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.

It reveals how ideas about work\, culture\, sport\, health and community were embedded in the design of the built environment. \nThe exhibition unfolds in two complementary strands. Desire to Create presents Baťa’s legacy as a comprehensive philosophy\, uniting work with service\, enterprise with education\, and personal development with responsibility towards others – not as a relic of the past\, but as a continuing source of inspiration. Baťa’s Architecture of Belonging brings East Tilbury to life through architectural drawings\, historic photographs and original artefacts\, evoking its distinctive modernist atmosphere. Together\, they trace how ideas were translated into built form – from vision to planning\, from planning to everyday life – creating a cohesive narrative of belonging\, work and community. \nOrganised by the Czech Centre London in partnership with the Bata Heritage Centre. \n\nEXHIBITION OPENING\nThursday 9 April 2026\, 6.30 – 8.30 pm\nFree entry\, Register Here\nEXHIBITION DATES: 10 April – 12 June 2026\nVENUE & OPENING TIMES\nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10 am – 5 pm URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/desire-to-create-batas-architecture-of-belonging/ LOCATION:Vitrinka Gallery\, 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY CATEGORIES:Architecture,Arts,Community Events,Design,Digital Arts,Environment,Events in London,Exhibitions,Free Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4f44b16930c96e3b868397657f54cccc.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Czech Centre":MAILTO:blues@czechcentre.org.uk GEO:51.509387;-0.193483 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Vitrinka Gallery 30 Kensington Palace Gardens London W8 4QY;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=30 Kensington Palace Gardens:geo:-0.193483,51.509387 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260409T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260430T140000 DTSTAMP:20260411T211319 CREATED:20260408T083900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260408T083900Z UID:30125084-1775739600-1777557600@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Free Wing Chun Class Lewisham Self Defence DESCRIPTION:Want to learn self-defence in London \nTrain Wing Chun and build confidence\, focus and strength \nThursday 13:00–14:00 \nNo experience needed \nJoin a supportive community class \nRegister now: https://www.easystepuk.org/events-and-workshops/weekly-classes/register URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/free-wing-chun-class-lewisham-self-defence/ CATEGORIES:Arts,Community Events,Events in London,Family Activities,Fitness,Free Events,Health,Pop Up,Women's Health ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Free-Wing-Chun-Class-Lewisham-Self-Defence-e1775637457849.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260411 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260412 DTSTAMP:20260411T211319 CREATED:20251117T043902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251117T043902Z UID:30111689-1775865600-1775951999@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:The Snow Queen - A Woodland Adventure DESCRIPTION:It’s Christmas Eve in Bluebell Wood\, and excitement is in the air.\nGerda\, the littlest mouse\, is hosting a cosy sleepover with her best friend Kai — and you’re invited.

Gothic Opera is delighted to be staging this horror story for the first time in the UK. \nIn the capable hands of the award-winning international stage director Max Hoehn\, the evocative crumbling architecture of Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall will be transformed into the time of the Weimar Republic\, a period of nationalism and unease. \nIn a bold production that will speak to our current times\, Gothic Opera will be joined by exciting conductor Hannah von Wiehler\, who has a very busy career across Europe. Leon Haxby\, the young composer whose previous work for the company was praised in Opera magazine for its “haunting magic” and “compassionate insight\,” has created a new chamber orchestration of the opera for seven instruments. A cast of talented singers will bring the characters and story to life. \nDie Rheinnixen performance details:\n30th October\, 7.30pm\n31st October\, 7.30pm\n1st November\, 7.30pm\n2nd November\, 5.00pm \nSung in German with English surtitles.

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>
