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:20260305T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260411T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T154828 CREATED:20260216T081816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260216T081816Z UID:30117809-1772704800-1775930400@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:JEFF ROBB – CONJECTURES AND REFUTATIONS - Free Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Conjectures and Refutations by Jeff Robb at Cris Contini Contemporary London presents two innovative series: the titular body of work and Human Collage. 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:20260404T154828 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.

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.
