SUMMARY:Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates a long friendship between two artists who have contrasting styles but warmly appreciate each other’s visual language. \nManja Scott was born in Zagreb\, Croatia\, but lived more than a third of her adult life in Africa – Ethiopia\, Zambia\, Kenya. She came to live in the UK in 1982. With the exception of various courses in Combined Arts\, Printed Textiles\, Print Making\, she is self-taught. Her most important influences are twentieth century art\, tribal world cultures\, and the amazing ever-changing beauty of nature. \nJeff Clarke trained through the 1950s at the Brighton College of Art and in Italy with a Prix de Rome scholarship in engraving. Later he etched and painted regularly in Crete alongside the role of draughtsman to the British School of Archaeology until 1996. The regular periods of vibrant sunlight had a profound effect on his work in colour\, tone and line. \nFor this exhibition both artists show a considered selection of retrospective and recent work. Manja with essentially coloured abstracts; Jeff with observed drawings in black and white\, most of still life and close environment. \n\nExhibition Opening\nWednesday 6 May 6-8pm\nPlease join us for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition\nFree event / no booking required \nSpecial Sunday  Opening\nSunday 24 May 12-4pm \n \n\n\n\n\nManja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts\nTicketsFree entry \nExtra information  \nOpening hours: Mon – Sat 10am – 4pm\nClosed: Sun and Bank Holidays except Sunday 24 May

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: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:Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human
DESCRIPTION:This is the story of Homo sapiens… us \nHost of BBC landmark show Human\, Ella Al-Shamahi\, palaeoanthropologist\, TV presenter\, explorer and stand-up presents a talk on our remarkable origin story. \nOnce upon a time we shared this planet with many species of human – it has been said that our world was a bit like Lord of the Rings. To start with we Homo sapiens weren’t that remarkable\, our origins were in fact rather humble and yet somehow today we are the only ones left. But we didn’t just survive against all odds\, we thrived\, innovated and travelled like no other species of human – becoming the explorer species who built cities\, iPhones and painted the Sistine Chapel. Our success was profound\, but how on Earth did it happen and at what cost? \nElla Al-Shamahi started studying evolution as a creationist and so she interweaves her own story demonstrating the power of tribalism not just in the past\, but also in the present. Expect a talk that draws on the latest discoveries\, heart\, humour and wild expedition stories. \nAl-Shamahi is a National Geographic Explorer specialising in searching for fossils in Palaeolithic caves in politically unstable\, hostile and disputed territories. She is the presenter of HUMAN\, a flagship BBC/PBS science series as well as other TV and radio shows. She is also author of a Times/Sunday Times book of the year ‘The Handshake: A Gripping History’ \nAge guidance: 14+ \n\n\n\n\nElla Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human\n23 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTickets£22

SUMMARY:Guys and Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Queen’s College Gardens\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nWednesday\, 20 May 2026 to Saturday\, 23 May 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n19.30-22.30\, inc. Saturday matinee from 14.30\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n£9.00-14.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the widely acclaimed productions of Fiddler on the Roof (2025) and Into the Woods (2024)\, Eglesfield Musical Society return this summer with the high-class entertainment of Guys & Dolls! \nConsidered by many to be the perfect musical comedy\, Guys & Dolls follows the story of gambler Nathan Detroit who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town. With the authorities breathing down his neck\, his girlfriend and nightclub performer Adelaide laments that they’ve been engaged (yet unmarried!) for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough\, but Sky is already preoccupied\, chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. \nGuys & Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana\, Cuba\, and even into the sewers of New York City\, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong. \nWe are so excited to present this entirely-led student production in the glorious arcadian gardens of The Queen’s College\, featuring a cast and crew from across several different colleges at the University of Oxford. \nPlease note that this is an outdoor event\, so do bring weather-appropriate clothing. The Queen’s College is wheelchair accessible\, although it is an historic site with uneven surfaces. If you have any accessibility requirements\, please get in touch with us at contact@eglesfieldmusic.org and thomas.constantinou@queens.ox.ac.uk.

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: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:Guys and Dolls

Saturday matinee from 14.30\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n£9.00-14.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the widely acclaimed productions of Fiddler on the Roof (2025) and Into the Woods (2024)\, Eglesfield Musical Society return this summer with the high-class entertainment of Guys & Dolls! \nConsidered by many to be the perfect musical comedy\, Guys & Dolls follows the story of gambler Nathan Detroit who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town. With the authorities breathing down his neck\, his girlfriend and nightclub performer Adelaide laments that they’ve been engaged (yet unmarried!) for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough\, but Sky is already preoccupied\, chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. \nGuys & Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana\, Cuba\, and even into the sewers of New York City\, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong. \nWe are so excited to present this entirely-led student production in the glorious arcadian gardens of The Queen’s College\, featuring a cast and crew from across several different colleges at the University of Oxford. \nPlease note that this is an outdoor event\, so do bring weather-appropriate clothing. The Queen’s College is wheelchair accessible\, although it is an historic site with uneven surfaces.

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: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:Guys and Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Queen’s College Gardens\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nWednesday\, 20 May 2026 to Saturday\, 23 May 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n19.30-22.30\, inc. Saturday matinee from 14.30\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n£9.00-14.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the widely acclaimed productions of Fiddler on the Roof (2025) and Into the Woods (2024)\, Eglesfield Musical Society return this summer with the high-class entertainment of Guys & Dolls! \nConsidered by many to be the perfect musical comedy\, Guys & Dolls follows the story of gambler Nathan Detroit who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town. With the authorities breathing down his neck\, his girlfriend and nightclub performer Adelaide laments that they’ve been engaged (yet unmarried!) for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough\, but Sky is already preoccupied\, chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. \nGuys & Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana\, Cuba\, and even into the sewers of New York City\, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong. \nWe are so excited to present this entirely-led student production in the glorious arcadian gardens of The Queen’s College\, featuring a cast and crew from across several different colleges at the University of Oxford. \nPlease note that this is an outdoor event\, so do bring weather-appropriate clothing. The Queen’s College is wheelchair accessible\, although it is an historic site with uneven surfaces. If you have any accessibility requirements\, please get in touch with us at contact@eglesfieldmusic.org and thomas.constantinou@queens.ox.ac.uk.
