SUMMARY:Desire to Create: Baťa's Architecture of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:The Czech Centre London\, in collaboration with the Tomáš Baťa Foundation and the Bata Heritage Centre\, marks the 150th anniversary of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa\, founder of the global Baťa Shoe Company\, with an exhibition exploring his achievements and guiding principles and their realisation in East Tilbury. It reveals how ideas about work\, culture\, sport\, health and community were embedded in the design of the built environment.\n\nThe exhibition unfolds in two complementary strands. Desire to Create presents Baťa’s legacy as a comprehensive philosophy\, uniting work with service\, enterprise with education\, and personal development with responsibility towards others – not as a relic of the past\, but as a continuing source of inspiration. Baťa’s Architecture of Belonging brings East Tilbury to life through architectural drawings\, historic photographs and original artefacts\, evoking its distinctive modernist atmosphere. Together\, they trace how ideas were translated into built form – from vision to planning\, from planning to everyday life – creating a cohesive narrative of belonging\, work and community.\n\nOrganised by Czech Centre London in partnership with Bata Heritage Centre.\n\n 	EXHIBITION OPENING\nThursday 9 April 2026\, 6.30 – 8.30 pm\nFree entry\, Register Here\n 	EXHIBITION DATES: 10 April – 12 June 2026\n 	VENUE & OPENING TIMES\nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10am – 5pm

SUMMARY:BATAstories
DESCRIPTION:BATAstories is a sweeping documentary driven by the voices of ‘Batamen‘ worldwide\, stories from Baťa-built towns\, and reflections from Baťa’s descendants. It traces the extraordinary rise of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa – the visionary cobbler’s son who transformed a small-town workshop into a global industrial shoe empire. \nDirected by the master documentarist Peter Kerekes\, the film weaves together three strands: Baťa’s memoir (narrated by Bolek Polívka)\, a reflection on the birth of modern global capitalism\, and a mosaic of personal stories. \nSpanning Europe\, South America\, Africa\, and Asia\, BATAstories moves between past and present\, blending archival and contemporary footage. From the industrial city of Zlín to purpose-built communities across the world\, it reveals a bold social experiment where factories became towns and employees became stakeholders. \nAt once intimate and expansive\, BATAstories is a vivid exploration of ambition\, ideology\, and the human stories behind a global empire. \nDir. Peter Kerekes\, France\, Czech Republic\, Slovakia\, 2018\, 78 min\, English subtitles / With Bolek Polívka and Zuzana Stivínová

SUMMARY:Bardot
DESCRIPTION:The screening on 6 May will be followed by a Q&A with director Alain Berliner and Prof. Ginette Vincendeau (King’s College London). \nUsing archival footage together with unique testimonies and reconstructed scenes\, Bardot offers an in-depth portrait of Brigitte Bardot\, the international icon\, the star harassed by the press\, the committed activist who abandoned cinema\, the former star\, isolated\, who flirted with extremist ideas and lost sense of the freedom she had defended for so many years. \nLoved too much or loved poorly\, she moved through the spotlight before retreating to La Madrague\, escaping public scrutiny and scandals. In this documentary\, she reflects on the many contrasts of her life: her meteoric rise\, her status as a feminine icon\, and her sometimes radical statements\, for which she was found guilty\, in her fight for animal rights. Despite some less likeable aspects of her personality\, Bardot redefined the image of women and anticipated ecological battles that remain more relevant than ever today.

SUMMARY:THERE IS AN ISLAND III: Side Event
DESCRIPTION:Maria Christodoulou and Antonis Sideras present Voices of Home & Viper in my grave at Cyprus House. \n\n\n\n\nTHERE IS AN ISLAND III: Side Event \nVoices of Home & Viper in my grave \nWednesday 13 May | 6:00pm–8:30pm | Cyprus House\, London \nMaria Christodoulou and Antonis Sideras present Voices of Home & Viper in my grave at Cyprus House. \nJoin us at Cyprus House for a special double presentation within the framework of THERE IS AN ISLAND III\, bringing together two powerful contemporary voices from the Cypriot diaspora. \nThis evening unfolds across installation and live performance\, exploring themes of home\, memory\, trauma\, and identity through sound\, poetry\, and visual art. \n🎧 Maria Christodoulou \nVoices of Home: women and everyday life in Cypriot culture \nAn immersive audio installation that recreates the atmosphere of a traditional Cypriot household in the UK. Through intimate recordings of women and girls in their homes\, Christodoulou invites audiences into a living archive of multigenerational domestic culture and memory. \nThe work explores how Cypriot traditions are carried\, reproduced\, and reimagined in the diaspora\, foregrounding the central role of women in sustaining cultural continuity. Visitors move through a multi-sensory soundscape that highlights everyday rituals as acts of preservation and resistance. \n📜 Antonis Sideras \nViper in my grave\n(Performance-lecture begins approximately 6:30pm) \nA performance-lecture and book-handling event marking the first public presentation of Sideras’ six-metre-long scroll of handwritten poetry and drawings. \nViper in my grave traces the artist’s lived experience of growing up queer in Cyprus alongside the generational trauma of being a first-generation refugee (1974). The viper emerges as a powerful metaphor for trauma embodied: coiled within the self yet capable of transformation. \nThrough poetry\, visual narrative\, and live engagement with the work\, Sideras shares a deeply personal yet culturally resonant journey of confrontation and liberation. \nTogether\, these two projects create a dialogue between the domestic and the embodied\, between women’s collective memory and queer personal testimony\, between inherited history and contemporary self-making. \nThe evening will conclude with opening remarks and a drinks reception.

SUMMARY:The Fumes of Mars by Katerina Angelopoulou: Presentation and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:‘A large wildfire has a very distinctive sound. No one can tell you unless they have been in one. It is a sound that can haunt you…’  \nThe Fumes of Mars is a book investigating the 2018 Mati wildfire near Athens — one of the deadliest in recorded history. On 23 July 2018 wildfires swept through Mati\, Greece\, 30 kilometres from Athens. Over 100 lives were lost and victims were left to fight for survival alone. Artist Katerina Angelopoulou survived the fire\, fleeing with her three-year-old child.   \nThe book acts as a counter-archive — a forensic and deeply personal investigation into how official narratives of catastrophe are constructed and enforced. It brings together Angelopoulou’s photographs taken during and after the disaster\, survivor testimonies\, aerial maps marking where each victim died\, weather reports\, CCTV footage and personal artefacts recovered from the ruins: jewellery\, books\, glasses. The work challenges the official narrative\, one that persists and blames residents and victims.  \nIts structure is non-linear\, mirroring how trauma fractures narrative\, fragmentary\, refusing easy resolution. Though rooted in a specific catastrophe\, the work speaks to something universal: the failure of institutions\, the invisibility of survivors\, and the struggle for accountability in an era of compounding climate catastrophe.  \nThe artist will be in conversation with publisher Stuart Smith (GOST Books). A Q&A will follow the presentation.  \nImage: Katerina Angelopoulou

SUMMARY:HubArt Theatre Company: Magic Cube - A play about friendship\, migration\, and finding home
DESCRIPTION:Join us this May for the performance of Magic Cube\, a contemporary drama by the London-based Hungarian theatre company\, HubArt. \nSix childhood friends\, two countries\, and a thousand miles between them. How do you keep a bond alive when life scatters you across Europe? Some stayed in Hungary to build a future at home\, while others moved to London to seek a new start. Through laughter and heartache\, the play follows their journey across life’s major milestones – career shifts\, marriages\, and the search for belonging. \nJust like the Rubik’s Cube\, their lives are constantly being twisted and turned by time and distance. Can they ever align the colours again\, or has the “game” become too complex to solve? Magic Cube is an honest\, relatable\, and often humorous reflection on the modern Hungarian diaspora and the enduring power of the chosen family. \nThe play is approximately 75 minutes long and will be performed in English. \n\nDirector: Blanka Molnár \nWritten by: The HubArt Ensemble \nCast: \nOrsi Antalóczy- Gabi \nAttila Bongyán- Bálint \nAnita Hornai- Natália \nÁron Kun- Alajos \nBlanka Molnár- Zita \nBarbara Tatai- Gizi \nSet and costume design: \nCsenge Réka Horváth \n\n\nAbout HubArt – Hungarian Theatre Company \nHubArt is a London-based Hungarian theatre society dedicated to bringing contemporary Hungarian culture to the UK stage. Led by Blanka Molnár\, the company focuses on creating original works and adaptations that resonate with the experience of living between two cultures. Since its founding\, HubArt has become a vital hub for the Hungarian creative community in London\, performing at venues like the Hen and Chickens Theatre\, Playground Theatre and participating in international festivals such as the Voila! Theatre Festival.

SUMMARY:European Writers' Festival 3
DESCRIPTION:The European Writers’ Festival returns to the British Library for its third edition \n\n\n\nLeading and debut writers from 26 countries\, from Spain to Ukraine\, the Faroes to Turkey\, gather to discuss love\, war\, humour\, nature\, crime\, myth and memoir and the power of literature and translation to help navigate the challenges facing Europe today. \n\n\n\nWith Nino Haratischwili\, Vincenzo Latronico\, Gonçalo M. Tavares\, Sara Stridsberg\, Christy Lefteri\, Jáchym Topol\, Fiston Mwanza Mujila\, Wendy Erskine\, Artem Chapeye and many more. \n\n\n\nThis is the perfect chance to catch up on what’s hot in contemporary European writing\, to meet authors\, translators and publishers over one special weekend. Most of the writers appearing present their latest novels but it’s fascinating to note how broad the fiction genre is in Europe today and how all these writers juggle genres\, topics and styles\, from the play-writing memoirist to the crime-writing screenwriter and the war-reporting short story writer. \n\n\n\nDay and Weekend Tickets to attend in person are available\, with a 30% discount to attend on both days.

SUMMARY:TO BE CURIOUS – A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography
DESCRIPTION:The Liszt Institute\, Hungarian Cultural Centre London\, is proud to present TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography\, a group exhibition by TOBE Gallery Budapest. \nContemporary photography is always fertile ground for curiosity: it raises questions\, responds sensitively to the present\, and offers new perspectives on interpreting reality. The exhibition TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography presents works by artists such as Máté Bartha\, Kincső Bede\, Anna Fabricius\, Ádám Magyar\, Katharina Roters\, Júlia Standovár\, and Wanda Martin\, who\, through different approaches yet with a shared sensitivity\, engage with important issues of our time. \nTheir works move along the boundary between personal and collective experience: questions of identity\, layers of memory\, and the uncertainties and tensions of the present all emerge in them. The images do not merely document\, but also interpret and reorganise\, while creating space for quiet observation and reflection. \nHere\, curiosity is not only an attitude\, but also a method: a tool for understanding\, doubt\, and discovery. The exhibition invites viewers not to seek ready-made answers\, but to approach what they see with openness and sensitivity\, connecting with the works through their own questions. \nJoin us for the exhibition opening on Tuesday\, 19 May\, 6.30 – 8.30 PM. The evening will include a book presentation by Wanda Martin on her photography book\, The Ballad of Eternal Youth. Opening remarks by TOBE Gallery. RSVP via Eventbrite. \nProgramme: \n6.30 PM Doors open \n7.00 PM Book presentation by Wanda Martin \nThe exhibition is on view 20 May – 12 June 2026\, Mondays – Fridays 11.00 AM – 6.00 PM. \nExhibiting artists: \n\nMáté Bartha\nKincső Bede\nAnna Fabricius\nÁdám Magyar\nKatharina Roters\nJúlia Standovár\nWanda Martin

Both studies are forthcoming publications in ANTIQVVS magazine.\n\nAlexis Kyriacou\, archaeologist and PhD researcher at the University of Reading\, will present Sculpture and Identity in Archaic Cyprus (740–475 BC)\, examining limestone votive figures from across the island. His talk explores how Greek\, Phoenician\, Egyptian\, and native traditions fused to create hybrid forms that reflect Cyprus’ central place in the ancient Mediterranean.\n\nDr Mark Merrony\, Editor in Chief of ANTIQVVS magazine and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, will focus on the mosaics of Kykkos Monastery\, demonstrating how Cypriot art continued to negotiate influences from East and West into the Byzantine and later periods.\n\nThe evening will include time for audience questions and discussion\, followed by a wine and snack reception\, offering further opportunities for exchange among academics\, students\, and enthusiasts of Cypriot history and art.

SUMMARY:Penthesilea: Queen of the Amazons – Screening and Q&A with Laura Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:Penthesilea: Queen of the Amazons (1974) is a defining work of the radical filmmaking of the 1970s. The first collaboration between Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen\, the film interrogates myth and spectatorship through its engagement with the fierce Amazonian queen of Greek mythology\, offering a sharply theorised feminist reworking of classical narrative forms.  \nPenthesilea has been understood\, from its earliest reception\, as a landmark work of feminist counter-cinema and avant-garde experimentation. Contemporary critics noted its rigorously structured five-part design and its exploration of alternative didactic methods that challenged conventional cinematic language. Emerging from the early Mulvey–Wollen collaboration\, the film quickly came to be seen as a ‘theory film’\, deeply intertwined with the feminist and psychoanalytic debates shaping their writing and signalling a decisive turn towards radical aesthetic and political critique.  \nMulvey uses the Greek myth as the perfect terrain on which to expose how patriarchal culture constructs and contains female figures. The film stages a contrast between classical mythic representation and feminist counter-cinema\, ultimately revealing how myth itself becomes a tool of ideological control.  \nIn more recent decades\, retrospectives and scholarly reassessments have emphasised the film’s enduring relevance as a bold feminist reworking of classical mythology and a sustained inquiry into representation\, spectatorship\, and cinematic form\, affirming its status as a significant and still challenging experiment within the history of avant-garde film.  \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with Laura Mulvey and film curator Georgia Korossi.

SUMMARY:Rivers

DESCRIPTION:A site-responsive poetic performance \n\nSunday 5 July 2026 | 6:00–8:00pm\n \n\nSt James’s Square Garden\, London \n\n\nThe Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in London invites you to the closing event of its Cultural Season 2026 (first half) — an immersive\, site-responsive performance unfolding within the intimate landscape of St James’s Square Garden. \n\n\nConceived by writer Costas Mannouris\, director Petros Charalambous\, and visual creator Eugene Gabriel\, Rivers transforms the park into a living poetic environment. Through a careful interplay of text\, image\, performance\, and spatial experience\, the work invites audiences to move through the space and encounter fragments of memory as they surface\, dissolve\, and reappear. \n\nInstalled across the garden\, poems emerge as quiet markers within the landscape\, guiding visitors through a reflective journey shaped by presence and absence. The performance unfolds gradually\, without a fixed point of view\, encouraging a personal and contemplative engagement with the work.\n\nAt its core\, Rivers reflects on the transient nature of memory — on words once spoken\, emotions once felt\, and moments that pass through us\, often leaving only traces behind. Like rivers that flow irreversibly towards the open sea\, these fragments resist containment\, yet continue to shape our inner landscapes. \n\nAn experience that invites us to pause\,to listen\,and to remember.\n \n\nPractical Information \n\n\n\n\nLocation: St James’s Square Garden\, London \n\n\nAccess: Entry via the northwestern gate\, closest to the Cyprus High Commission \n\n\nTime: Doors open at 6:00pm | Event concludes at 8:00pm \n\n\nAdmission: By complimentary ticket \n\n\nIn case of adverse weather conditions\, the event will be transferred indoors to Cyprus House.
