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:The Architectures of Infestation by Abingdon & Witney College
DESCRIPTION:Venue\, Timing and Cost\n\nVenue:\n\nThe Turrill Sculpture Garden\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nSaturday\, 7 March 2026 to Saturday\, 25 April 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\nMon\, Fri – 9.30 – 5.00pm Tues\, Thurs 9.30 – 6.30pm Sat 9.30 – 4.00pm Closed Wed\, Sun\n\n\n\nCost:\n\nFree\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA striking new exhibition in the Turrill Sculpture Garden\, showcasing large scale sculptural works by Creative Futures (Level 1) and Foundation Art & Design students from Abingdon & Witney College.\nBringing together oversized insect sculptures and hand built ceramic watchtowers\, the exhibition explores themes of surveillance\, scale\, and the uneasy relationship between humans\, creatures\, and the structures we build.\nLevel 1 students took inspiration from bugs and specimens at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History\, enlarging tiny organisms into bold\, three foot long forms using wire\, modroc\, plaster\, and paint. These monumental insects playfully challenge our perceptions of the creepy crawly world.\nFoundation students created ceramic watchtowers inspired by the panopticon\, examining how architecture can control\, observe\, and influence behaviour. Their towers range from architectural to abstract\, each acting as a quiet sentinel within the garden.\nTogether\, these works transform the garden into a lively and thought provoking landscape—where creatures seem to roam and watchtowers hold their ground. Architectures of Infestation invites visitors to explore\, imagine\, and rethink the boundaries between the natural and the built. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nKatherine Shock Sculpture Co-ordintor 07922205946. kshock1@gmail.com

SUMMARY:The Architectures of Infestation by Abingdon & Witney College
DESCRIPTION:Venue\, Timing and Cost\n\nVenue:\n\nThe Turrill Sculpture Garden\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nSaturday\, 7 March 2026 to Saturday\, 25 April 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\nMon\, Fri – 9.30 – 5.00pm Tues\, Thurs 9.30 – 6.30pm Sat 9.30 – 4.00pm Closed Wed\, Sun\n\n\n\nCost:\n\nFree\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA striking new exhibition in the Turrill Sculpture Garden\, showcasing large scale sculptural works by Creative Futures (Level 1) and Foundation Art & Design students from Abingdon & Witney College.\nBringing together oversized insect sculptures and hand built ceramic watchtowers\, the exhibition explores themes of surveillance\, scale\, and the uneasy relationship between humans\, creatures\, and the structures we build.\nLevel 1 students took inspiration from bugs and specimens at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History\, enlarging tiny organisms into bold\, three foot long forms using wire\, modroc\, plaster\, and paint. These monumental insects playfully challenge our perceptions of the creepy crawly world.\nFoundation students created ceramic watchtowers inspired by the panopticon\, examining how architecture can control\, observe\, and influence behaviour. Their towers range from architectural to abstract\, each acting as a quiet sentinel within the garden.\nTogether\, these works transform the garden into a lively and thought provoking landscape—where creatures seem to roam and watchtowers hold their ground. Architectures of Infestation invites visitors to explore\, imagine\, and rethink the boundaries between the natural and the built. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nKatherine Shock Sculpture Co-ordintor 07922205946. kshock1@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Murder in the Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Tickets from £15* \n\nAge\n12+\nDuration\n2hrs 20mins\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\nPresented by Oxford Theatre Guild \nBy T.S. Eliot\n \n“Saints are not made by accident.” \nA radical priest returns from exile to an uncertain welcome. Women gather by the Cathedral to seek sanctuary from an increasingly dangerous world. The church is in conflict with the state and shadowy forces seek to take matters into their own hands. \nWritten against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in the 1930s\, T.S. Eliot‘s powerful retelling of the final days of Thomas Becket is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century. \nThe resolute Women of Canterbury are at the heart of the performance\, their voices and watchful presence a constant reminder of the human cost of conflict\, forcing us to bear witness to a nation in turmoil. \nFollowing their acclaimed Pygmalion\, Oxford Theatre Guild\, Oxford’s leading amateur theatre company\, returns to The Playhouse with a bold and evocative production of Eliot‘s thought-provoking and relevant masterpiece.

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:VISIONS OF THE TOKAIDO ROAD ILLUSTRATED TALK
DESCRIPTION:With artist Nigel Caple\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWed 22 Apr 2026\, 2–3pm\n\n\n\n\nAt the Museum and online\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is in-person at the Museum in the Headley Lecture Theatre and online via Zoom. \nTickets are £8 each. Booking is essential. \nTickets coming soon. \n\nWith artist Nigel Caple \nIn this talk\, Nigel Caple will examine some of the artists who have left visual records of Japan’s famous Tokaido Road. \nParticular focus will be given to Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) and his celebrated woodblock print series the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road\, which includes his inspired vision of Shono Hakuu – this masterful scene depicts the fleeting moments in nature when travellers on the open road are caught in a sudden rainstorm. \n \nDriving Rain at Shōno\, Utagawa Hiroshige\, 1833-1834\, woodblock print \n\n  \nThe history and development of the Tokaido highway will be woven together by various stories from over four centuries of travel. Well-known incidents that have taken place along the route will be pursued to illustrate the realities of the journey itself and the nature that surrounds it.

SUMMARY:Murder in the Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Tickets from £15* \n\nAge\n12+\nDuration\n2hrs 20mins\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\nPresented by Oxford Theatre Guild \nBy T.S. Eliot\n \n“Saints are not made by accident.” \nA radical priest returns from exile to an uncertain welcome. Women gather by the Cathedral to seek sanctuary from an increasingly dangerous world. The church is in conflict with the state and shadowy forces seek to take matters into their own hands. \nWritten against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in the 1930s\, T.S. Eliot‘s powerful retelling of the final days of Thomas Becket is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century. \nThe resolute Women of Canterbury are at the heart of the performance\, their voices and watchful presence a constant reminder of the human cost of conflict\, forcing us to bear witness to a nation in turmoil. \nFollowing their acclaimed Pygmalion\, Oxford Theatre Guild\, Oxford’s leading amateur theatre company\, returns to The Playhouse with a bold and evocative production of Eliot‘s thought-provoking and relevant masterpiece.
