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: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

The dance forms act as a conduit between humanity and the divine\, helping the participants to recognize that they are part of something bigger and that we are all connected. \n  \nInspired by these concepts\, the London School of Hula and ‘Ori (LSHO) created choreography for the  Ma uka to Ma kai exhibition that focuses on the source of life– Water. The choreography explores the water cycle\, from four perspectives: Ocean\, Sky\, Earth\, and Humanity\, attempting to embody the essence of and give form to these elements. Water is central to the functioning of the ahupua’a and to life itself. Without water\, there is no fauna in the forests\, no crops\, no streams to nourish us; simply\, there is no life. Using movement from Hula\, ‘Ori Tahiti\, and contemporary motion\, and combining the mediums of cinema\, sound\, music\, and dance\, the film aims to represent the intertwined and dynamic relationship between humanity and our environment. It encourages the viewer to acknowledge that we are a part of this cycle\, that we are beholden to nature. \n  \n\nSince I can remember\, I have been learning the stories of our ancestors– a rich world of myths and tales that contain the knowledge of the universe. I utilise these myths in my storytelling in order to provide crucial information about the world around us through the lens of womxn from the global majority – past\, present\, and future. These women – my mother\, my grandmothers\, my ancestors – who are able to call upon themselves\, each other\, and the sacred lands to which we are intrinsically bound\, are central to the health of people and Earth\, and thus the continuation of all life. I believe that ancestral knowledge is not a thing of the past\, but holds the key to a healthy future. \nKrysten \n\n  \n\nEverything in the universe is connected\, whether it be the sky to the earth through the falling of the rain\, or person to person through the infectious ease at which emotions can spread. This project showcased how important and moving it is to give in to that oneness with ourselves\, nature\, the world around us\, and each other\, and how none of us are isolated from that connection. \nDanielle \n\n  \n\nOur existence as humans is so tiny but so profound\, we sometimes forget how fragile and interdependent we are. Across cultures\, we see stories that connect us to the elements and to something bigger\, and it is our responsibility to be part of the lineage of these stories\, to deliver them to future generations.  \nAkino \n\nAbout the exhibition\nThe Long Gallery exhibition displays quilts from the Honolulu-based Poakalani Quilters that depict Hula through appliqued designs alongside a photographic series\, Ola i ka wai\, by Krysten Resnick and film depicting the London School of Hula and ‘Ori. A selection of photographs from the series are shown on this webpage\, along with the quilts on display. \nAbout LSHO\nLondon School of Hula and ‘Ori is a cultural dance school and community that aims to uphold and reinterpret the practices of Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian ‘Ori within a modern metropolitan context. By accessing and platforming traditional knowledge systems that combine movement\, myth\, ceremony\, and community we are able to create healthier and more meaningful connections to the self\, our wider communities\, and our Earth and bridge the gaps between past and present– all of which is necessary in shifting the trajectory towards a healthier future. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOla i ka wai : The Photography Series (selection from the exhibition shown here)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember of the LSHO\, Satomi.

Quilted by Yoshimi Suzuki. Designed by John Serrao co-founder of Poakalani Quilters. PRM 2022.57.2 \n\n  \n\nStories from the Quilting Circle \nby Yoshimi Suzuki \n  \n  \nI started quilting with Poakalani in 2000 at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping and under the direction of Kumu (teacher) John Serrao I was able to receive my teacher’s certification in 2006. I started my Quilting Class in Yokohama in 2006\, called “Hālau Kuiki O Owyhee” (Quilt Class of Hawaiʻi) a name given to me by Kumu John. In the tradition of the Poakalani Class in Hawaii\, I produced Quilt Shows in Japan every two years showcasing my students Quilts. In 2015 I received the highest honour from Kumu John my Hawaiian name “POMAIKALANI” which means blessings from heaven. \n  \nThe motifs on this quilt are Pahu hula(drum)\, ʻUli ʻuli(feathered rattles)\, Pūniu( coconut knee drum) used in classical hula dancing and Maile leaves represents Laka (Goddess of hula). In this way they are related to Hawaiian life. The central part has Wāwae Moa (chicken feet stitches) which is one of the traditional techniques. \n  \nWhen DESIGNER and QUILTER have pens or needles\, we think about the history and the traditions of Hawaiʻi\, or the lifestyle of the time still exists. By reviving and expressing them\, we play a role in conveying the history of Hawaii\, the royal family (Aliʻi) and Hawaiian culture. \n  \nJohn & Poakalani family has a history of learning the original techniques on the ship Thaddeus boarded by missionaries in the 1820. It’s great honour for me to learn from them who are the ancestors of the tradition\, which is now loved all over the world. \n  \nWe hope that people around the world will be interested in the culture and traditions of Hawaiʻi through our Hawaiian quilts. \n  \nThe tradition continues… \n  \n  \n  \n \nTi Leaf and Lauaʻe. Quilted by Pat Gorelangton. Designed by John Serrao. PRM 2022.57.12 \n\n  \nWai ʻapu lau kī. \nWater in a ti-leaf cup. \n [When one goes to the upland and needs a cup to dip water from the stream or spring\, he folds a ti leaf to form a dipper.] \n\n\nStories from the Quilting Circle\nby Pat Gorelangton\n \nI have been a quilter for almost 40 years. Though I’ve tried other quilting styles\, once I joined the Poakalani Quilt Group 18 years ago\, Hawaiian quilting became my passion. To me\, it has the symmetry that appeals to my sense of order\, while also having a beautiful freedom of movement…especially in the designs of John Serrao. John was a master designer; it was a privilege to learn from him. The knowledge and support that the entire Serrao ohana (family) has given to me over the years is nourishment for my soul. One of my favourite things to do is to complete a quilt that was started by someone’s grandmother or auntie years ago…but any time I can make a quilt\, whether as a commission\, or an idea I had and am trying to express\, is truly a joy. \nSo much of the Hawaiian quilt patterns are inspired by our plants and our culture. This Ti Leaf and Laua’e quilt is one of John’s beautiful designs. There are two kinds of laua’e fern…one comes from Australia\, and the other much rarer one is indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands. It has a faint but lovely fragrance and is used in gardens as well as floral arrangements. The ti leaf has many uses in Hawaiian life; from religious ceremonies to food wrapping\, to skirts for hula dancers\, and lei for ceremonies. \nI’ve made over 170 Hawaiian wall hangings and bed quilts and have been part of articles and videos about Hawaiian Quilting over the years\, which I hope to have conveyed my love of this beautiful\, cultural art of Hawai’i.

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
