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:Dancing with Jane Austen
DESCRIPTION:Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth\, Dancing with Austen explores how important dance was to Austen’s gentry society and its crucial role in her creativity. \nDancing moves the plot in all of Jane Austen’s novels. Whether the scene of a private ball or a ticketed assembly\, the dance floor measures the course of novels in which readers and characters ‘are all hastening together to perfect felicity’ (Northanger Abbey). \nThis display brings together items from the Bodleian’s collections and from Jane Austen’s House. See a reconstruction of Austen’s writing space at Chawton Cottage\, Hampshire – now Jane Austen’s House – and details from a ball imagined through music\, word\, and dress.

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:St Edward’s School Art Teachers: Circa 500
DESCRIPTION:Circa 500 is composed of eleven artists who spend their days teaching\, questioning\, and building alongside the next generation of artists at St Edward’s School. This exhibition turns that practice inward\, revealing the breadth of disciplines that animate their department: ceramics\, sculpture\, textiles\, painting\, print\, photography\, graphics\, and film.What connects them is not a single medium but a shared curiosity. Clay and thread\, paint and colour\, lens and screen\, ink and object each hold their own language. Together they create a conversation about process\, experiment\, and the shifting roles they inhabit as educators and artists.The works on display emerge from the overlap of classroom and studio\, from the restless space between guiding others and pursuing individual investigations. They are presented not as finished answers but as open propositions\, fragments of dialogue\, and invitations to look closer. \n\nExhibition Opening\nThursday 12 March 5-7pm\nPlease join us for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition\nFree event / no booking required \n\nSt Edward’s School Art Teachers: Circa 500\nTicketsFree entry \nExtra information \nOpening hours: Mon – Sat 10am – 4pm\nClosed: Sun and Bank Holidays \n\nAddress: Woodstock Rd\, Oxford OX2 7NN

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: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 Architectures of Infestation by Abingdon & Witney College

These monumental insects playfully challenge our perceptions of the creepy crawly world.\nFoundation students created ceramic watchtowers inspired by the panopticon\, examining how architecture can control\, observe\, and influence behaviour. Their towers range from architectural to abstract\, each acting as a quiet sentinel within the garden.\nTogether\, these works transform the garden into a lively and thought provoking landscape—where creatures seem to roam and watchtowers hold their ground. Architectures of Infestation invites visitors to explore\, imagine\, and rethink the boundaries between the natural and the built. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nKatherine Shock Sculpture Co-ordintor 07922205946. kshock1@gmail.com

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:Rooted and Renewed
DESCRIPTION:When Your Well Has Run Dry \n\n\n\n\nWhen your well has run dry. \nMinistry is sacred work — and it can quietly drain the soul. \nRooted & Renewed is a half-day renewal and training gathering for Christian ministry volunteers\, pastoral staff\, individuals\, and clergy who are feeling stretched thin\, spiritually depleted\, or simply weary from carrying the weight of serving others. \nIf you love the Church but feel like you’re running on empty\, this event is for you. If you aren’t in any of these positions but feeling run dry\, you are more than welcome to come. \nThroughout the morning\, you’ll experience: \n\nBiblical encouragement for leaders who are tired\nGuided reflection and unhurried space to breathe\nPractical tools for sustainable ministry rhythms\nHonest conversation about burnout and resilience\nPrayer and time to be personally ministered to\n\nIt’s an intentional pause. \nA space to become rooted again in Christ. \nA space to be renewed before returning to the work. \nWho is Your Host? \nLisa Way is a qualified youth worker and seasoned Christian ministry leader with over fifteen years of experience serving the Church both locally and abroad. Since beginning her ministry journey in 2010\, she has carried a deep commitment to making the Gospel of Jesus Christ accessible\, lived\, and transformative for all. \nHer work has spanned youth ministry\, international missions\, and church leadership development. In 2016\, she joined Acorn Christian Healing Foundation as an administrator\, where her dedication\, wisdom\, and vision steadily shaped her path into leadership. Since 2019\, she has served as Director of Operations\, overseeing ministry development and equipping churches and individuals with practical\, Spirit-led skills for Christian ministry — a calling she considers one of her greatest joys. \nLisa has now developed Make Sense after operational changes taking place at Acorn\, and is known for her visionary leadership\, loving training style\, and accessible teaching\, she creates environments where people feel both grounded and empowered. She carries a steady confidence rooted in experience\, but her leadership is marked just as deeply by compassion as it is by competence. \nAt the heart of everything she does is a simple conviction: the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone. Through Rooted and Renewed she brings that same passion — to see people strengthened\, supported\, and reminded that they are deeply rooted in Christ and fully held in His love.

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 Architectures of Infestation by Abingdon & Witney College
DESCRIPTION:Venue\, Timing and Cost\n\nVenue:\n\nThe Turrill Sculpture Garden\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nSaturday\, 7 March 2026 to Saturday\, 25 April 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\nMon\, Fri – 9.30 – 5.00pm Tues\, Thurs 9.30 – 6.30pm Sat 9.30 – 4.00pm Closed Wed\, Sun\n\n\n\nCost:\n\nFree\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA striking new exhibition in the Turrill Sculpture Garden\, showcasing large scale sculptural works by Creative Futures (Level 1) and Foundation Art & Design students from Abingdon & Witney College.\nBringing together oversized insect sculptures and hand built ceramic watchtowers\, the exhibition explores themes of surveillance\, scale\, and the uneasy relationship between humans\, creatures\, and the structures we build.\nLevel 1 students took inspiration from bugs and specimens at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History\, enlarging tiny organisms into bold\, three foot long forms using wire\, modroc\, plaster\, and paint. These monumental insects playfully challenge our perceptions of the creepy crawly world.\nFoundation students created ceramic watchtowers inspired by the panopticon\, examining how architecture can control\, observe\, and influence behaviour. Their towers range from architectural to abstract\, each acting as a quiet sentinel within the garden.\nTogether\, these works transform the garden into a lively and thought provoking landscape—where creatures seem to roam and watchtowers hold their ground. Architectures of Infestation invites visitors to explore\, imagine\, and rethink the boundaries between the natural and the built. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nKatherine Shock Sculpture Co-ordintor 07922205946. kshock1@gmail.com
