SUMMARY:We're Going To Need A Bigger Brush!
DESCRIPTION:Shadowlight Supported Studio.\nA powerful celebration of identity\, creativity and community\, this group exhibition showcases artwork and film by learning-disabled and neurodivergent artists. \nJoin us for a new exhibition of work by the Shadowlight Artists\, in collaboration with Film Oxford. The exhibition title humorously plays on the famous quote from the film Jaws\, “you’re going to need a bigger boat!”\, reflecting the size of this creative task. \nSince April 2025\, the group has met weekly to shape the direction of their studio\, define shared goals\, and co-create artworks in a lively\, supportive environment. They have also collaborated with professional artists including Chris Oakley\, Poppy Johnson-Doherty and Su Frizzell. \nWorking across film\, photography\, printmaking\, costume and prop making\, the Shadowlight Artists explore themes of identity\, transformation and self-representation. Their work embraces alternate personas\, reimagined characters and personal narratives\, drawing on everything from classic movie posters to everyday materials transformed into costumes and sets. \n\nWe offer a range of facilities to ensure we are accessible to visitors. Please click here to find out more about visiting Modern Art Oxford. If you have any questions about your visit\, please get in touch at info@modernartoxforg.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Daphne Wright: Deep-Rooted Things
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition focuses on sculptures by Irish artist Daphne Wright and has been curated by Ashmolean director\, Xa Sturgis. \nConceived in partnership with the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin\, the exhibition will feature several new works which consider the tradition of still lifes and respond to the sculptures in our Cast Gallery. \nDaphne Wright works in unfired clay and jesmonite and has long experimented with casting. \nCentral to the exhibition is Sons and Couch\, a life-size sculptural artwork cast in jesmonite of the artist’s sons\, made especially for this show. They have featured in their mother’s moving and personal work since an early age. This sculpture of them as young men was created with their agreement and collaboration.\nAlso on show is her Fridge Still Life\, which has not been on public display previously\, alongside other works by Wright and objects from the Ashmolean’s own collection. \nSeveral works by the artist relate both to the domestic and the Museum itself\, and in doing so continue the exploration of time\, memory and identity. \nTwo key Ashmolean pieces that speak directly to Wright’s work are included in the exhibition: the fragments of a young Hercules defeating the Nemean Lion in plaster and Rachel Ruysch’s intricate painting\, ‘A Forest Floor’ Still Life of Flowers.

SUMMARY:IMAGES OF AUTHORITY PORTRAITS BETWEEN IRAN AND EUROPE
DESCRIPTION:As we grapple with the possibilities and excesses of our image-obsessed culture\, this free exhibition looks back at the way in which a specific kind of image – portraits – dominated the lives of three contemporaneous rulers: Fath Ali Shah Qajar (1797–1834)\, King George III (1760–1820)\, and Napoleon Bonaparte (1799–1814). \nJuxtaposing portraits on different media from across Iran\, Britain and France\, the display explores similar and unique strategies developed to convey the personal and political aspirations of these ambitious leaders and astute image-makers. \nDisplayed for the first time in over a century are also two recently restored Qajar paintings and some of the discoveries made during their conservation treatment.

SUMMARY:Pat Suet-Bik Hui and the Three Perfections
DESCRIPTION:Pat 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.

SUMMARY:Through the Blue: A Koestler Arts exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue\, Timing and Cost\n\nVenue:\n\nOld Fire Station\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nThursday\, 29 January 2026 to Saturday\, 14 March 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\nTuesday – Saturday\, 10am – 4pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\nFREE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKoestler Arts and the Old Fire Station present Through the Blue\, an exhibition showcasing artwork\, music and writing made in criminal justice settings in Berkshire\, Buckinghamshire\, Oxfordshire and Surrey. \nKoestler Arts is an arts charity that works with every prison in the UK to unlock hope\, talent and potential. Each piece in the exhibition has been made by someone in a prison\, secure hospital\, young offender institution or on probation in the region and entered into the 2025 Koestler Awards. \nThe exhibition has been co-curated by a group of people on probation in Oxford and Reading\, who considered more than 600 Koestler Awards entries from the region and selected 70 to be displayed. They were drawn to intriguing works that resonated with their own experience of the criminal justice system and reflected their varied creative interests. Boundaries and thresholds loomed large in their recollections of their own time in prison and are depicted in many of the exhibited artworks: walls\, doors\, windows\, hatches. Means of containing\, but also of seeing and moving through. \nTogether\, the exhibited artworks explore the experience of navigating a way through obstacles\, drudgery\, sadness and towards freedom; and both the excitement and fear that prospect can inspire. We also see the potential for creativity to blur and breach these boundaries through works made to share with loved ones and to mark moments of humour and connection. \nMany of the works deal with light and dark\, in and out\, and the space and movement between these states. The colour blue\, prominent in the selection and exhibition design\, underscores this duality. While blue is associated with cold and melancholy\, it is also associated with blue skies and sunny days. It is the frightening\, unknown depths of the ocean and an expansive horizon\, calm and full of possibility. \nSome of the artworks will be available to purchase through the Koestler Arts website\, with a portion going to the artists as well as to Koestler Arts and Victim Support. There will also be opportunities for visitors to write feedback on their favourite pieces in the exhibition\, which will be sent directly to the artists. \nOne of the exhibition co-curators comments:\n“Enjoy the variety in this exhibition. Contemplate the stories behind these works. See the hope and often the humour. Be drawn along the journeys illustrated here. These artists are showing you their world and their future.” \nFiona Curran\, CEO of Koestler Arts comments:\n“I am delighted that Koestler Arts has been able to produce its first show in Oxford\, with the Old Fire Station. The powerful artwork in the exhibition represents the hard work of hundreds of people in the area who have put their efforts into sharing their voices with the outside world through the 2025 Koestler Awards\, and the many educators and staff supporting them to access the benefits of creativity.” \nABOUT KOESTLER ARTS: \nKoestler Arts is an arts charity that encourages people in every prison in the UK\, and other criminal justice settings\, to access the proven benefits of the arts. The charity’s vision is that the power of the arts unlocks hope\, talent and potential in the lives of people in the criminal justice system. \nKoestler Arts provides an annual art awards programme — the Koestler Awards — open to people in prisons\, secure hospitals\, immigration removal centres and secure children’s homes\, as well as people on probation and community sentences. It also offers a post-release arts mentoring scheme\, arts membership for people in prison\, family engagement opportunities\, and a programme of exhibitions\, events and publications. \nTo deliver its mission\, Koestler Arts works in partnership with other organisations\, art world experts\, and people with lived experience of the criminal justice system; past exhibition curators have included Ai Weiwei\, Jeremy Deller and John Costi\, Camille Walala\, Antony Gormley\, Benjamin Zephaniah\, Speech Debelle\, Sarah Lucas\, Grayson Perry\, the families of people in prison and graduates of the Koestler Arts mentoring programme. \nkoestlerarts.org.uk \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nOld Fire Station\n40 George St\, Oxford OX1 2AQ\nwww.oldfirestation.org.uk\n01865 263980 \nFREE ENTRY – NO TICKET REQUIRED

SUMMARY:John le Carré: Tradecraft
DESCRIPTION:Discover the enduring legacy of one of the greatest writers of the past century. \nTradecraft draws upon the vast archive of John le Carré\, otherwise known as David Cornwell. Held at the Bodleian Libraries\, this material – much of which is displayed for the first time – spans Cornwell’s entire life and career\, from his time as a student at Lincoln College\, Oxford\, to drafts penned in his final weeks. \nThis exhibition offers unique insights into the working methods of the writer who shaped the modern spy novel. ‘Tradecraft’ is a word le Carré used to describe the techniques of espionage\, but it might also be applied to his own skilled craft as a writer and social commentator. \nCo-curated by le Carré’s collaborator and friend Professor Federico Varese and Dr Jessica Douthwaite with the support of the le Carré family\, John le Carré: Tradecraft will provide a multifaceted portrait of the author’s life and creative process\, featuring research\, drafts\, and corrections for his novels\, non-fiction\, and adaptations\, as well as personal correspondence. \nHighlights include annotated manuscripts of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy\, The Constant Gardener\, and The Little Drummer Girl; previously unseen family photographs; original sketches and watercolour paintings; and letters to fans and friends. \nPlease note: This exhibition contains references and images related to war\, violence\, guns and death that some visitors may find upsetting.

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:We Could be Here a While
DESCRIPTION:Age\n12+\nDuration\n1hr 10mins\nInterval\nNo\nWarning\nContains references to war and brief discussions of mental health\nVenue\nBurton Taylor Studio\n\nTickets £8/£6\n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Oxford Student Season: Hilary Term 2026 \nBy Charlotte Ward \nIn the Kentish village of Lower Hempstead\, June 1942\, residents crowd into the communal air-raid shelter as bombers thunder overhead. With little to do but wait\, the villagers throw themselves into the nearest distraction: meddling in Louise’s love life. Add an intrusive pigeon\, an over-eager Home Guard recruit\, and the worrying possibility of an unexploded bomb upstairs\, and chaos quickly follows. \nThis piece of new student writing offers a warm\, witty take on community\, romance\, and resilience in wartime Britain.

SUMMARY:We Could be Here a While
DESCRIPTION:Age\n12+\nDuration\n1hr 10mins\nInterval\nNo\nWarning\nContains references to war and brief discussions of mental health\nVenue\nBurton Taylor Studio\n\nTickets £8/£6\n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Oxford Student Season: Hilary Term 2026 \nBy Charlotte Ward \nIn the Kentish village of Lower Hempstead\, June 1942\, residents crowd into the communal air-raid shelter as bombers thunder overhead. With little to do but wait\, the villagers throw themselves into the nearest distraction: meddling in Louise’s love life. Add an intrusive pigeon\, an over-eager Home Guard recruit\, and the worrying possibility of an unexploded bomb upstairs\, and chaos quickly follows. \nThis piece of new student writing offers a warm\, witty take on community\, romance\, and resilience in wartime Britain.
