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.

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:Einstein in Oxford: Thinking in Music
DESCRIPTION:An evening of music and conversation\n5.45 pm  Doors open \n6.00 pm  Music and conversation inspired by Einstein’s life and legacy \n6.50 pm  Q & A with the audience \n7.15 pm  Drinks reception \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nEinstein’s love of music made him see the world differently. He once said that he often thought in music. \nAndrew Robinson’s book Einstein in Oxford encapsulates this rich complexity: the scientific genius who loved playing his violin; the logical mind who saw the inner beauty of the universe in Mozart’s music but mocked Oxford’s ceremonial splendour; the celebrity who spurned the trappings of fame. \nMusic inspired Einstein’s thinking 100 years ago\, but how does his scientific legacy inspire musicians and researchers today? \nJoin our panel – Andrew Robinson\, Professor Brian Foster and Professor Roger Davies – for an evening of conversation and music to discuss: \n\nWhat does Einstein’s relationship with music uncover about his approach to science?\nWhat is the impact of Einstein’s intuitive thinking on science today?\nHow does Einstein’s scientific legacy continue to drive groundbreaking research?\nHow can Einstein’s scientific ideas inspire musicians today?\n\n  \nThroughout the discussions\, musicians Zakiya Leeming and Linda Jankowska will share three short miniatures for violin composed for this event and inspired by conversations with our panelists.

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:Plaited Basketry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ticket price includes lunch and refreshments on both days \nTickets: £160  Book here \nMembers: £128 Book here \n\nPlaited basketry is found around the world where materials are easily made into long flat ribbon-like strips – including palm leaves\, bamboo\, birch bark and cane.  Alternatively more modern manufactured materials including plastic packing tape\, Somband\, cardboard and papers can be used. \nPlaited basketry can be relatively straightforward to work with a simple over one/under one ‘checkweave’\, or far more complex twill patterns. A defining feature of plaited basketry is the similarity between weaving elements\, in other words\, little distinction between stakes and weavers (warp/weft). Plaited basketry techniques also include triaxial hexagonal plaiting\, right through to the appropriately named ‘mad weave’. Rest assured this introductory course will only be looking at checkweave! \nIn this two day introductory workshop we will be working with old maps to learn the techniques for making a small basket based on ‘elbow baskets’\, made by the Choctaw people in South East USA. The ‘elbow basket’ is traditionally made with river cane and various forms and weave patterns are made – some simple and others more complex. As with most basketry techniques many variations are possible depending on scale and materials used for working. \nIn the workshop you will learn how to prepare your weaving strips\, how to work basic checkweave\, then on to making the elbow basket form\, how to work a simple border\, and finally adding a small hanging handle. \nIf time allows\, it might be possible to make a additional small basket using plaited basketry techniques. \nYour tutor\, Polly Pollock\, will bring along suitable old maps for you to use\, together with any other materials and simple tools you’ll need. \nDuring this 2-day course you will have the opportunity to look at plaited basketry in the Pitt Rivers Museum collections.  Polly will prepare a trail map showing the location of interesting examples of plaited basketry in the displays. The workshop will take place behind the scenes in the Conservation Laboratory where you be able to see a few more examples from their reserve collection. \nPolly will also bring a selection of plaited baskets from her personal collection\, as well as samples and examples to illustrate other materials which can be used for plaited basketry techniques.
