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: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:John Robins: Thirst - In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join critically acclaimed stand-up comedian\, Taskmaster champion\, and award-winning broadcaster John Robins in conversation about alcohol addiction and the journey to sobriety\nWhat is an alcoholic? \nJohn will be heading out on tour to celebrate the publication of his beautifully written\, moving and darkly funny forthcoming memoir\, Thirst. He will tell the story of his life through the lens of alcohol\, the drinks that made him\, and those that broke him. From his earliest drinking experiences – pretending to be drunk after a sip of champagne aged five\, spraying aftershave into his mouth at the school play afterparty\, and university nights spent downing red wine alone in his room – to his last drink in 2022 and the journey into sobriety that followed\, John will explore our relationship with alcohol through reflections on decades of his own drinking. \nFrom hazy memory to sudden clarity he sheds light on subjects from mental health to friendship\, from creativity to the lies we tell ourselves\, and answers questions such as: are alcoholics born or made? How can we make sense of youthful missteps? And can Buddhism provide relief when dealing with haemorrhoids? \nJohn will share insights and epiphanies from the world of addiction and recovery\, blending his trademark raw honesty and hilarious digressions with the collective wisdom of alcoholics and those around them to offer a compelling\, powerful and morbidly funny narrative for anyone who has ever asked ‘why do we drink?’\, ‘why do I drink?’ or ‘do I drink too much?’. \nThis event will include a special guest interviewer at each event\, a rare opportunity for you to put your own questions to John and a chance to purchase a signed copy of Thirst. \nJOHN ROBINS is a radio presenter\, comedian\, Taskmaster champion\, and podcaster (How Do You Cope?\, The Elis James and John Robins Show\, Beef’s Golf Club\, The Moon Under Water). John has won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for ‘Best Show’ (2017); ‘Funniest Show’ at the ARIAS for his Radio 5 Live show with Elis James (2020); ‘UK Podcast of the Year’ for the mental health podcast How Do You Cope? (2021). \nThroughout his stand-up and radio career he has gained a reputation for speaking candidly and hilariously about his own mental health. In 2024 he won the ‘Radio Times Moment Of The Year’ award at the ARIAS after revealing his struggles with alcohol on How Do You Cope?. His conversation with Adrian Chiles on abstinence vs moderation was one of the most shared articles on The Guardian website and his 2024 nationwide tour\, Howl\, about addiction and recovery received critical acclaim. \nThirst: Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life will be published by Viking on 7th May 2026 \n\nTicket Information \n\nStandard Tickets: £22.50\nPremium ticket including book: £35.50\nSuitable for ages 14+\, with possible strong language and adult themes\nDoors open 18:30\nBook signing will commence at 22:00\nLatecomers to be permitted during the interval at 19:45\nFor ticketing queries\, please contact ticketing@crosstownconcerts.com

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
