SUMMARY:PAT SUET-BIK HUI & THE THREE PERFECTIONS
DESCRIPTION:FREE EXHIBITION\n\n\n\n20 Sep 2025 to 28 Jun 2026 \nGallery 11 \nAdmission is FREE \n\nPat Suet-Bik Hui 許雪碧 (b. 1943) is a US-based Hong Kong artist. This exhibition showcases her work alongside others who engage with the tradition of the ‘three perfections’ 三絕\, which brings together the three art forms of poetry\, calligraphy\, and painting. \nThe exhibition includes works by Hui\, her contemporaries\, her teacher Lui Shou-Kwan and others of his generation\, as well as earlier examples from the 17th\, 18th\, and 19th centuries. Seeing Hui alongside these other artists will give visitors the context to understand her as both innovator and standard-bearer of tradition. \nIn this tradition\, calligraphic brushstrokes are as integral to compositional balance as those used in painting. Likewise\, images conjured by a poem and those rendered in a painting combine to create effects neither can achieve alone. \nHui’s modern interpretation fuses abstract and semi-abstract washes of colour and ink with simple\, restrained calligraphy inscribing poems reflecting on a variety of themes\, from love\, to loss\, to the pleasures of drinking. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPainting with Poem by Xin Qiji\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Wucius Wong\, 1987\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPainting with poem by Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, 1999\, ink colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPainting with poem by Nara Singde\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui\, 1991\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nIn the exhibition gallery there will be translations of many of the poems inscribed on the paintings\, as well as guidance on how to interpret the relationship between painting\, calligraphy and poetry within particular works. \nHui gifted her works to the art-historian Michael Sullivan\, whose painting collection was bequeathed to the Ashmolean in 2013.

SUMMARY:ROMAN OXFORDSHIRE COINS DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:6 Dec 2025 – 29 Nov 2026  \nGallery 7 \nAdmission is FREE \n\nCoinage remains one of the best represented and most recognisable elements of Roman material culture. \nThis display will showcase a selection of Roman coins in the Ashmolean collection that were found in Oxfordshire and tell the story of the region from the Roman conquest in 43 CE to the end of Roman Britain\, around 410 CE. \nSome of the coins reflect everyday life through trade\, soldiers’ pay\, or the collection of taxes. Others tell us about Britain’s position in the empire or served as offerings people made to the gods. \nDiscover a group of Iron Age gold staters buried in a flint nodule around the time of the Roman invasion\, known as the Henley Hoard\, and various Roman coins from Claudius I to the end of Roman Britain. These historic finds were discovered in local towns and villages\, such as Cowley\, Dorchester\, Asthall\, Horton\, Shiplake and Childrey\, and add to the evidence for coin use and circulation in Roman Oxfordshire. \n \nMap (detail) accompanying the Roman Oxfordshire coins display in the Money Gallery \n\n  \nRoman coins were an important means of communication. They were carried across the empire in purses\, spreading images and messages central to Roman society: religion\, politics\, the Imperial family\, or the empire’s prosperity. As with modern money\, most Roman coins also had more straightforward messages\, showing exactly who held power. \nThese coins are not always beautiful objects\, but each is a small\, powerful voice connecting us to the people of Roman Oxfordshire and their place in the wider Roman world. \nHeader image: Obverse and reverse detail of silver coin of Carausius © Ashmolean Museum \n\nFound anything locally? \nSince 1997\, the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) has recorded more than 360\,000 Roman coins from England and Wales\, including nearly 15\,000 from Oxfordshire. \nIf you think you may have found a Roman coin\, it’s important to have it properly recorded. Contact your local Finds Liaison Officer at the PAS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSELECTED OBJECTS ON DISPLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSilver coin of Carausius\n\n\n\n\nSilver coin of Roman Emperor Carausius\, found at Shiplake\, with a wolf and the twins Romulus and Remus on the reverse\, 286–293 CE © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopper coin of Nero\n\n\n\n\nCopper coin depicting Nero\, found at Dorchester on Thames\, 65 CE © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenley Hoard \n \n\n\n\n\nHenley Hoard \n\nHenley Hoard\n\n\n\n\nComplete local Iron Age coin hoard of 32 gold staters buried in a flintstone nodule\, found in Henley-on-Thames\, 55–45 BCE © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSilver coin of Arcadius\n\n\n\n\nSilver coin of Roman Emperor Arcadius\, found at Horton\, 392–394 CE © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNext slide\nPrevious slide

SUMMARY:Song of Myself (Display)
DESCRIPTION:Song of Myself\, 1995\, Tom Phillips RA (1937–2022)\, wire\, 360 x 180 cm.\nCredit: Estate of Tom Phillips CBE RA \nTom Phillips described Song of Myself as “an attempt to list the various identities that go to make a single artistic life”. The work borrows its title from a poem in Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. Its beginning is based on the confessional Anglo-Saxon poem\, The Seafarer\, which Phillips first came across as an undergraduate at St Catherine’s College\, Oxford. \nWithin the work\, the alert reader will find further references\, direct or cryptic\, to Homer\, Plato\, Dante\, Cervantes\, Shakespeare\, Marvell\, Conrad\, R. L. Stevenson; to the music of Wagner and Robert Schumann; and to the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. The text is littered with echoes of Phillips’s own artistic preoccupations: as a painter\, calligrapher\, user of stencils and maker of books. \nPhillips first made a pencil drawing of the text\, then worked with the fabricator Leo Verryt to realise the work in wire\, as a hanging poem. Other versions of the text exist\, one in a series of paintings called Curriculum Vitae (No XX\, 1992)\, and another in Self Portrait in Silver (2004). Phillips writes: “The unity of the piece in which letters are tortured into cooperation hopes to reflect an overall homogeneity in the spirit of its maker”. \nThe Bodleian Libraries also has the Tom Phillips archive in our collection.

SUMMARY:COLONIAL VIEWS OF INDIA
DESCRIPTION:FREE EXHIBITION\n\n\n\n\nOpens 11 Apr 2026 \nGallery 29 \nAdmission is FREE \n\nThis is the first exhibtion to focus on photographs and negatives in the Ashmolean\, and as such features previously unseen photographs of India by Colonel Eugene Clutterbuck Impey (1830–1904). \nA member of the East India Company\, Impey arrived in India in 1851 and took part in military actions during the Indian Uprising of 1857. After the British Crown took control in 1858 following the Uprising\, he worked as a political agent until returning to Britain in 1878. \n  \n \nStereoscopic image of a tiger with tripod shadow\, Colonel Eugene Impey\, 1858-1865\, albumen photographic print on paper © Ashmolean Museum \n\n  \nImpey’s photographs reflect British imperial interests\, showcasing portraits of colonial officers and Indians\, as well as staged scenes of daily life\, clothing\, religious sites\, animals\, and landscapes. \nThese images often reinforced stereotypes with the aim to justify colonial efforts. Photography\, which gained popularity after its debut in 1839\, was used to highlight cultural differences. From the mid-1800s British officials documented various social groups in India\, often categorising people by ethnicity. \nThe Impey collection includes 247 glass negatives preserved at the Ashmolean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSELECTED PHOTOGRAPHS ON DISPLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeated girl\n\n\n\n\n 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQutub tower\n\n\n\n\n 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaharaja Takhat Singh of Jodphur\n\n\n\n\n1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFour Rajputs with jezails and swords\n\n\n\n\n 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSnake charmer\n\n\n\n\n 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmall temple and rope bridge in hilly landscape\n\n\n\n\n 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNext slide\nPrevious slide

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Scale Up Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\nOne-day conference focused on translating laboratory-scale discoveries into industrial-scale processes. \n\n\n\n\nScaling up represents a crucial\, yet often neglected\, aspect of scientific innovation. Many researchers discover the limitations of “It worked in the lab” only years after leaving academia. Embedding scale-up considerations into early-stage research can greatly enhance the societal (sustainability\, world health\, etc.) and industrial impact of academic discoveries. \nThe in-person Scale Up Conference 2026 at the University of Oxford will explore the scientific and technical challenges of translating laboratory-scale discoveries in chemistry\, biology\, materials science\, and pharmaceuticals\, in to viable industrial-scale processes. \nJoin us to hear about “AI for Scale-up Challenges” from our keynote speaker Antonio Del Rio Chanona (Imperial College London) as well as a fireside chat on “How to scale-up the manufacturing of the University of Oxford COVID-19 vaccine” with Sandy Douglas\, (University of Oxford). This will complement two parallel speaker tracks throughout the day on scale-up challenges in Biology and Chemistry. More speaker details can be found below. \nThe conference will be followed by a Laboratory Automation Showcase and networking reception in the evening. \nTickets include lunch\, tea breaks and a wine reception. The event is part of the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub Programme at Jesus College Oxford. \nSpeakers (more to be announced soon): \n\nAI for Scale-Up with Antonio del Rio Chanona (Imperial College London) Developing high-performing bioprocesses is costly and complex\, requiring iterative\, multi-scale experimentation from microtiter plates to pilot reactors. We propose a multi-fidelity batch Bayesian optimization framework to accelerate bioprocess development and reduce experimental costs. Multiple case studies show how the proposed workflow can achieve a reduction in experimental costs and increased yield.\nFireside Chat with Sandy Douglas (University of Oxford) Sandy led the manufacturing scale-up of the University of Oxford COVID-19 vaccine up to the point of transfer to AstraZeneca. This included the development of the novel low-cost large-scale manufacturing process\, and initiating the formation of the UK & international ‘distributed manufacturing site’ consortium which has produced over a billion doses. Following this fireside chat\, Sandy will be joined by other speakers for a panel discussing process scale-up across both biology and chemistry. Moderated by Jonathan Cook (Jenner Institute Oxford)\nEmma Brass (University of Liverpool) Process chemistry creates scalable routes for new lead molecules and is a crucial but laborious stage in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development cycles. We have built an automated process chemistry platform that tackles late-stage process development. Timings for round-the-clock\, back-to-back experiments suggest that the weekly reaction output of the robot operating multiple reactors could exceed that of a human process chemist by a factor of 12 in an industrial setting. In this talk\, I will discuss our work building this platform and the challenges that we faced.\nMatthew Bone (Principal Computational Scientist\, SOLVE Chemistry) Computational chemistry for automated virtual pre-screening of various tasks like solubility at SOLVE Chemistry.\nDania Awad (Werner-Siemens Chair of Synthetic Biology\, TU Munich) The SUSPENSE project develops bio-based wood adhesives from wheat bran milling waste\, a readily available\, non-food biomass. SUSPENSE links biorefinery processing with circular material design\, with process validation progressing from laboratory scale (100 mL) to demonstrator scale (50–200 L)\, the project provides a clear pathway toward sustainable\, industrially viable adhesive systems.\nLaura Helleckes (Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow\, Imperial College London) Self-driving labs for scale-up with data-driven optimisation: Bioprocess experimentation is disconnected across scales – from microtitre plates to pilot reactors – making high-performing process development costly and complex. Conventional Design of Experiments (DoE) methods often struggle to address scale-up. Laura’s talk will highlight data-driven solutions\, including multi-fidelity batch Bayesian optimisation.\nSuzanne Robb (CPI) Scaling a bioprocess is often framed as a problem of volume\, but in reality it is a problem of understanding. As processes move from lab to pilot to production\, hidden constraints emerge; biological\, operational\, financial\, and regulatory\, that cannot be solved by bigger vessels alone. This talk explores scale‑up as a systems challenge: one that demands deep process insight\, access to the right scale‑up infrastructure and investment\, and smarter approaches to managing risk. Drawing on real‑world examples and over 16 years of industry experience\, it will examine how these challenges are being addressed in practice\, and how advances in data integration\, AI‑enabled modelling\, and digital experimentation can be used to accelerate scale‑up decisions. By reducing timelines and costs while increasing confidence at every stage\, this approach enables a more resilient\, capital‑efficient path to manufacturing at scale\, one in which technology and biology evolve together.\nJoe Taylor (Head of Innovation\, Hoxton Farms) Scaling a bioprocess from R&D to manufacturing is a persistent challenge with high costs\, long timelines and technical risk. We experienced this first-hand at Hoxton Farms\, scaling mammalian cell culture from flasks to 500L. Solving this guided our development of Lattice\, our modular\, AI-native bioreactor platform. This talk will explore how AI-driven process development\, automation and a scalable hardware platform can streamline bioprocess scale-up to cut costs and timelines and deliver biomanufacturing at scale.\nJasper Schuurmans (University of Amsterdam) Jasper is a chemical engineer perusing his PhD in the Noël Research Group in Amsterdam. He will discuss scaling up synthetic organic photochemistry\, with a focus on multiphasic systems. While new photochemical methods are typically developed at milligram scale\, intensification and process design can enable production at gram and kilogram scale. Jasper will also emphasise the additional challenges associated with photochemical scale-up compared to conventional thermal chemistry.\nHessam Mehr (Lecturer in AI for Science and Chemistry\, King’s College London) Does scaling up discovery simply mean going from one to an army of robots searching for a hit? In this talk\, I will showcase ongoing work in my research group to scale up the discovery of new molecules\, reactions and materials\, by re-imagining the search process without the constraints of manual laboratory chemistry.\n\nFIND US \nThis event will take place in the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub at Jesus College\, Oxford. The Hub entrance is on Market Street (opposite Wagamama). The Hub is accessible\, with automatic double doors at the entrance and lifts to and from the main lower ground floor event space. \nIf you have any accessibility requirements\, please do contact digitalhub@jesus.ox.ac.uk and we are happy to help. \n*Filming and photography will be taking place during the event. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed\, please notify a member of the Hub team on arrival.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:The ‘most honest hearted\, real good men’: Sir John Vanbrugh and the Kit-Cat Club
DESCRIPTION:Venue\, Timing and Cost\n\nVenue:\n\nStowe House\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nThursday\, 11 June 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n6-8pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\nFree\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOphelia Field\, author of The Kit-Cat Club\, and Vanbrugh biographer Rory Fraser discuss the Club’s under-appreciated centrality to Vanbrugh’s eclectic career and to British culture. This talk is one of a lecture series held monthly. \nVanbrugh joined publisher Jacob Tonson’s Kit-Cat Club soon after The Relapse debuted on the London stage in late 1696\, remained a member until the Club dissolved in the 1720s\, and retained a deep fondness for its fellowship and friendships until the end of his life. Several key steps in his surprising career depended upon the patronage of Kit-Cat aristocrats\, and this was no accident. \nField\, author of The Favourite: Sarah Duchess of Marlborough\, published her group biography of the Kit-Cats in 2008 – the first in-depth modern study of the Club – and argued that its far-reaching role in British politics and culture had been previously overlooked. Fraser’s forthcoming biography of Vanbrugh will extend this argument\, showing how important it was for Vanbrugh to count himself among the Kit-Cat wits\, and to pursue the patriotic cultural mission he shared with its other creative members. \nTying the story of the Club’s evolution and Vanbrugh’s involvement over several decades to the Stowe landscape\, as developed by Kit-Cat member Richard Temple\, 1st Viscount Cobham\, this authors-in-conversation event will surface historical connections\, conundrums and heated rivalries. \nKey Information \nThe event will proceed with a 45 minute talk followed by audience questions\nBooking essential\nYour free ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nBook online: www.stowehouse.org\nEnquiries: 01280 818006 | houseinfo@stowe.co.uk
