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:Elinor Cleghorn A WOMAN'S WORK
DESCRIPTION:A Woman’s Work is a radical and inspiring new history of mothering\, and a timely reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom isn’t over \n\n\n\n\nA Woman’s Work \nMothers make history. For centuries\, motherhood has sparked social and political change. Yet the acts of growing\, birthing and nurturing children – and the power they hold – have been pushed to the margins\, overlooked in our narratives of the past. \nIn A Woman’s Work\, Elinor Cleghorn reveals the mothers\, othermothers\, midwives\, activists\, and community leaders who have shaped this extraordinary history. They include Hildegard of Bingen\, the medieval nun and mystic with pioneering views about the maternal body; Mary Wollstonecraft\, who laid the intellectual groundwork to release motherhood from male control; and Sojourner Truth\, who drew attention to the abhorrent treatment of mothers under chattel slavery. \nBeginning in the ancient world\, we learn how in each era\, the patriarchy constructed its own idealised notion of motherhood – from the misogynistic dogma of the early church and the stigmatisation of single mothers in 17th century England all the way through to the post-war myth of the perfectly contented housewife. But we also learn how mothers of all classes and circumstances fought back\, and lobbied to be valued\, respected and supported – not as reproductive vessels\, but as people. \nElinor Cleghorn \nDr Elinor Cleghorn has a background in feminist visual culture and history\, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals including Screen. After receiving her PhD in 2012\, Elinor spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Ruskin School\, University of Oxford\, working on an interdisciplinary medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute\, where she has been a regular contributor to their education programme\, Tate Modern\, and ICA London\, and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show The Forum. In 2017\, she was shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Editions essay prize. She now works as a freelance writer and researcher. Her non-fiction debut\, Unwell Women\, was published in June 2021.

SUMMARY:Ballet Black at 25
DESCRIPTION:From £15* \n\nAge\n7+\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\n\nCassa Pancho‘s Ballet Black celebrates its 25th anniversary with a much-anticipated return to Oxford Playhouse. \nThis landmark double bill features Ingoma (2019)\, the choreographic debut of former Company dancer\, Mthuthuzeli November. Inspired by the 1946 South African miners’ strike – a precursor to the anti-apartheid movement – Ingoma captures the suffering and resilience of Black miners and their communities\, bringing rarely told stories to the ballet stage. The work won both the 2020 Olivier Award and the Black British Theatre Award for Best Dance Production and now makes its Oxford premiere. \nAlongside it comes a joyful new commission from Alvin Ailey royalty Hope Boykin\, a two-time Bessie Award winner\, making her UK choreographic debut. Boykin\, who says “I make work and create environments from personal and lived experiences”\, creates a celebratory piece especially for Ballet Black‘s 25th year – a vibrant tribute to the company’s journey and a bold look towards its future. \nAudiences can expect Ballet Black‘s signature blend of powerful storytelling\, striking choreography and rich global influences\, in a programme that honours the past while celebrating the future. For 25 years\, Ballet Black has transformed the landscape of British ballet – creating vital opportunities for dancers and artists of Black and Asian descent\, while building a repertoire that resonates with audiences around the world. \n\n\n\n0 Stars \n Ballet Black consistently brings new and exciting work to Oxford Playhouse\nOxford Dance Writers

The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back… it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent.

SUMMARY:Ballet Black at 25
DESCRIPTION:From £15* \n\nAge\n7+\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\n\nCassa Pancho‘s Ballet Black celebrates its 25th anniversary with a much-anticipated return to Oxford Playhouse. \nThis landmark double bill features Ingoma (2019)\, the choreographic debut of former Company dancer\, Mthuthuzeli November. Inspired by the 1946 South African miners’ strike – a precursor to the anti-apartheid movement – Ingoma captures the suffering and resilience of Black miners and their communities\, bringing rarely told stories to the ballet stage. The work won both the 2020 Olivier Award and the Black British Theatre Award for Best Dance Production and now makes its Oxford premiere. \nAlongside it comes a joyful new commission from Alvin Ailey royalty Hope Boykin\, a two-time Bessie Award winner\, making her UK choreographic debut. Boykin\, who says “I make work and create environments from personal and lived experiences”\, creates a celebratory piece especially for Ballet Black‘s 25th year – a vibrant tribute to the company’s journey and a bold look towards its future. \nAudiences can expect Ballet Black‘s signature blend of powerful storytelling\, striking choreography and rich global influences\, in a programme that honours the past while celebrating the future. For 25 years\, Ballet Black has transformed the landscape of British ballet – creating vital opportunities for dancers and artists of Black and Asian descent\, while building a repertoire that resonates with audiences around the world. \n\n\n\n0 Stars \n Ballet Black consistently brings new and exciting work to Oxford Playhouse\nOxford Dance Writers

SUMMARY:The Furrow Collective
DESCRIPTION:Drawn together by a shared love of the traditional song and balladry of England\, Scotland and beyond and an open\, intuitive approach to collaboration\, The Furrow Collective share timeless songs of this world and others\, with storytelling at their heart. \nIt is this storytelling focus upon which the band are set to expand with their upcoming project Cantastoria\, including digital single releases and the use of visuals\, both in their music videos and live performances. Lucy Farrell\, who is a talented visual artist as well as musician\, will create ’crankies’ for each single\, illustrating the stories of the songs. The crankie theatre is turned by hand whilst the story unfolds on a moving scroll\, an enchanting addition to their live shows. The songs may be hundreds of years old\, but they are chosen for the parallels that can be drawn with our times; tales of courage\, resistance and wit. \nThe Furrow Collective (Lucy Farrell – viola\, voice & saw\, Rachel Newton – harp\, fiddle\, voice\, Emily Portman – banjo\, concertina\, voice and Alasdair Roberts – guitars\, voice) are well-loved for their contemporary interpretations of folk songs\, and these releases focus on what they do best\, breathing new life into old ballads\, in song\, story and art. \n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n“A mouth-watering collaboration” \n    Mojo\n\n“A bravely sparse and compelling new take on traditional songs… A quietly classy young folk band” \nThe Guardian\n\n\nThe Furrow Collective\n2 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTickets£20 \nLinksThe Furrow Collective

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: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
