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:Unfolding and enfolding: a creative retreat - Led by Philip and Zelie Gross
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nDive into creativity and connection at Unfolding and Enfolding\, a retreat with Philip and Zelie Gross!\n\n\n\nUnfolding and Enfolding: A Creative Retreat\nA weekend to reflect on the constant change that underpins our life on Earth. Avoiding general statements and fixed positions\, we will think with our hands\, letting our instincts for creativity\nlead us\, along with memory\, imagination\, association and other leaps of thought released by poetry. \nThe theme: unfolding and enfolding\, two words so close in sound but complementary. In the height of summer\, we’ll think about the bedding down of Autumn and the openings of Spring. \nZélie Gross brings her experience of facilitating visual art\, Philip Gross brings more than forty years of work with poetry\, in a weekend fed by two decades of their work together with Woodbrooke on courses like the long- running Voices of the Earth. \nJoin Philip and Zelie for a weekend at Charney Manor.

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:Charles Foster THE EDGES OF THE WORLD with Dan Kieran
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, traveller\, veterinarian\, taxidermist\, barrister and philosopher Charles Foster joins us talk about his latest book. \n\n\n\n\nThe Edges of the World \nWe tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities\, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts\, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so\, but it’s a lie. It is only at the edges that we think\, innovate and thrive. \nThis book travels to the frontiers of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents\, of evolution\, of artistic and political movements\, and life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis\, kissing lepers to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. \nWhy do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality – the Government or the dispossessed? \nAnd what happens when we live with the knowledge that we’re all teetering on the edge of the dark? \nCharles Foster \nCharles Foster is aNew York Times bestselling author whose work has been longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize\, shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for nature writing\, and won the Ig Nobel Prize for Biology and the 30 Millions d’Amis Prize. He is a fellow of Exeter College\, University of Oxford\, and has particular passions for Greece\, waves\, the Upper Palaeolithic\, mountains and swifts. \nDan Kieran \nDan is the author and editor of fourteen books\, including the Sunday Times bestseller Crap Towns (the first viral internet phenomenon to turn into a bestselling book)\, The Idle Traveller (the bestselling Slow Travel: Die Kunst des Reisens in Germany)\, Three Men in a Float (the story of his journey across England in a 1957 electric milk float also recorded for BBC Radio 4) and Do Start: How to create and run a business (that doesn’t run you). A travel writer for the Guardian\, The Times and the Telegraph\, he has given talks on a range of subjects including publishing\, creative writing\, fundraising\, entrepreneurship and how to have ideas for places like The Idler\, The Do Lectures and The European Parliament.

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

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
