SUMMARY:WHITE MOSS A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on our recent book of the month\, White Moss\, with Irina Sadovina (translator) Tamar Koplatadze and Oliver Ready \n\n\n\n\nWhite Moss \nProviding rare\, direct insight into the beauties and struggles of the Indigenous reindeer-herding Nenets community of the Russian north\, White Moss tells a piercingly moving coming-of-age story of the conflict between individual dreams and collective life. \nOn the eve of his wedding\, young Alyoshka pines for an earlier love. Ilne chose to leave the nomadic Nenets community behind 7 years before\, moving to the city and taking his heart with her. As the seasons have passed and his mother has grown older\, Alyoshka has been under increasing pressure to marry and fully embrace the Nenets’ age-old customs of home and family. Unwilling to give up his hope for another life\, the young man struggles against everything he has been taught to accept\, while other painful transitions shake the stability of the small camp and minor human tragedies play out against the cold expanse of the tundra. \nWith bursts of lyricism and a Chekhovian eye for human frailty\, Anna Nerkagi crafts a multi-voiced drama of tradition and change within her Indigenous community. \nIrina Sadovina \nIrina Sadovina translates literature from Russian and Mari. Her translations and writing appeared in publications like Prototype\, Meniscus\, Calvert Journal\, and ellipse. She received the 2021 Australasian Association of Writing Programs Translation Prize and was a 2021-2022 National Centre for Writing Emerging Translator Mentee. \nTamar Koplatadze \nDr Koplatadze is one of the first proponents and leading theorists of Post-Soviet Postcolonial Studies. Her specialism covers the literature and culture of Russia\, the Caucasus and Central Asia from the 19th century to the present day. \nDr Koplatadze’s monograph Postcolonial Identities in Central Asian and Caucasian Literature (OUP) is the first book to examine post-Soviet literature from the Caucasus and Central Asia\, and to employ postcolonial methodology for this enquiry. Her current book project\, Post-Soviet Ecopoetics\, is the first comparative study of post-Soviet ecocritical literature and film\, including from Siberia\, the Caucasus and Central Asia. \nOliver Ready \nDr Oliver Ready is a Stipendiary Lecturer in Russian specialising in recent and nineteenth-century literature. He has worked for several years as a departmental lecturer for the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages\, teaching undergraduates and postgraduates across the University.

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:Goldwork Embroidery Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nMembers: £60 \nNon-Members: £75  \nGoldwork Embroidery Workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHistoric embroidery company Hand&Lock invite you to join them for a gold-work embroidery workshop at the Pitt Rivers Museum. This beginner-friendly introductory session explores the fundamental techniques of this traditional craft. You’ll work with metal threads and purl bullions\, learning techniques such as pearl purl\, chipping and S’ing to complete a wheat sprig design inspired by a historic harvest knot. Guided by Hand & Lock’s expert embroiderers\, this relaxed and welcoming workshop is perfect for those new to goldwork embroidery. \n\nAbout our Tutors\n\nOur embroidery courses are taught by expert hand embroiderers who have worked in the couture industry for brands such as Alexander McQueen\, Chanel\, Dior\, Valentino\, Hermès\, Louis Vuitton\, YSL\, Givenchy\, Dolce & Gabbana\, Schiaparelli\, Lanvin and Burberry to name a few. The course will cover the basics\, insider tips and practical application making sure students are fully equipped to go on and apply what they have learned to their own pieces and develop their own unique styles. Our tutors are professional embroiderers first and tutors second which means they are able to give you a unique insight into the magical world of couture hand embroidery.\n\nAbout Hand & Lock\n\nHand & Lock’s rich history dates back to 1767 when M. Hand\, a young Huguenot refugee from France\, arrived in London and began selling lace to military tailors. As his reputation grew\, M. Hand expanded his business to include the design and manufacture of military badges and uniform accoutrements. His expertise in embellishing officers’ dress uniforms\, which required precision and craftsmanship\, quickly made M. Hand & Co. a trusted name among Savile Row and military tailors—a relationship that endures over 250 years later.In the 1950s\, Stanley Lock\, a gifted embroidery designer\, joined CE Phipps & Co.\, a specialist embroidery house. When the owner retired in 1956\, Lock acquired the business and rebranded it as S. Lock Ltd. The company soon became a key collaborator for haute couture designers like Christian Dior\, Norman Hartnell\, and Hardy Amies\, working on garments for the Queen\, Queen Mother\, and later\, Princess Diana. In recognition of its exceptional craftsmanship\, the company was awarded the Royal Warrant in 1972. \nToday\, Hand & Lock continues to serve a diverse clientele\, including international fashion houses\, emerging designers\, interior decorators\, the Royal Family\, and costume designers for theatre\, film\, and television. Despite its evolution\, the company prides itself on preserving the traditional embroidery techniques that have remained largely unchanged since 1767. \nHand & Lock is not just a hub of expert craftsmanship but also a global ambassador for the fine art of embroidery. Through workshops and educational programs worldwide\, the team remains committed to promoting quality British craftsmanship and passing down the timeless skills of embroidery to future generations.

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
