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: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: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

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:Nature Tots - Sutton Courtenay\, Wednesday 13 May
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an adventure with outdoor nature play\, crafts and stories for toddlers on our beautiful nature reserve at Sutton Courtenay. \n\n\n\n\nJoin our friendly Nature Tots staff and volunteers to explore the nature reserve and enjoy wildlife themed activities suitable for children aged 18 months to 4 years. We have a different theme each month\, eg mini-beasts\, dinosaurs or weather\,  and every session includes wildlife exploration\, sensory play\, stories and crafts. We start with child-led play and then come together for a story (it’s a good idea to bring a snack and a drink for your child to eat at this point\, we provide tea and coffee for grown ups) and usually some singing before we move on to a few extra activities\, often including a craft. A lovely way to spend quality time in the great outdoors with your child. \nPlease note activities will take place outdoors – dress for the weather! In winter we may head into the centre for the second half of the session to warm up with a story and crafts by the stove\, but we always start outdoors. \nYou only need to book a place for your child\, not for the accompanying adult. It’s fine to bring baby siblings along\, they do not need a ticket. \nPlease note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park\, a few minutes walk from the centre. \nWe are committed to keeping our visitors\, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you or your child are unwell\, or testing positive for an infectious illness\, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

SUMMARY:Turi Munthe WHY WE THINK WHAT WE THINK with Nigel Warburton
DESCRIPTION:This eye-opening book takes us through biology\, geography\, history\, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. \n\n\n\n\nWhy We Think What We Think \nWithout knowing it\, almost all our opinions – whether we believe in God or in ghosts\, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration\, our basic sense of what’s right – are shaped by an astounding web of hidden forces. The age-old idea that our views are forged by reason and evidence alone is wrong: we are influenced by everything from the quirks of distant history\, through the lines of our genetic code\, to the geology of where we grew up. \nThis eye-opening book takes us through culture\, biology\, geography\, history\, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. \nPacked with surprising stories and counterintuitive discoveries\, Why We Think What We Think does more than reveal how our beliefs are formed. By showing where our beliefs really come from\, it invites us to step outside our own assumptions – and learn how to think more clearly\, and more generously\, about the world we all share. \nTuri Munthe \nTuri Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur\, who has written for theEconomist\, theGuardian and the TLS and appeared on the BBC\, CNN and Fox News. He founded Demotix\, the largest network of photojournalists in the world\, and Parlia\, an encyclopaedia of opinion.
