SUMMARY:Tereza Stehlikova @ absolute now II
DESCRIPTION:‘Eternity does not exist anywhere but in changing time. Eternity is the absolute now.’ — D.T. Suzuki\, Time and Eternity (1956) \n\n\n\n\nRieko Akatsuka – George Barber – Kaz – Guy Sherwin – Tereza Stehlikova\n\n\n\n\nFor the 10th anniversary of absolute now—a group exhibition originally held in Tokyo—five artists return to explore the enduring paradox of time: the coexistence of the fixed and the fluid\, the eternal and the ever-changing.\n\n\n\n\nAmong the new works presented\, Czech artist Tereza Stehlikova contributes a video installation that expands on her long-term project 4 Generations of Women (2012–). Her piece immerses viewers in a layered reality where personal\, familial\, and more-than-human identities converge. Through the poetic use of moving image\, Stehlíková explores how selfhood is entangled with ancestry\, descendants\, and the natural world — revealing a timeless quality within the rhythms of change. Boundaries dissolve: between mother and daughter\, self and other\, human and non-human\, past and future — yet something essential endures in the very act of being present.\n\n\n\n\nAs with the other participating artists\, Stehlikova uses the language of the moving image — a medium built from stillness in motion — to question what ‘absolute now’ means in a socio-political context transformed over the past decade. The exhibition reflects on how we inhabit the present in a time when truth feels increasingly unstable and digital technologies offer continual escape from the here and now.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is curated by Kaz and will include a curated programme of events.\n\n\n\n\nFor further information\, please contact danielle@daniellearnaud.com.\n\n\n\n\nThe gallery is open by appointment only.  \n\n\nMore info about the exhibition on\n \nDANIELLE ARNAUD website

SUMMARY:Erev Yom HaShoah: ‘People Without History Are Dust’: An In Conversation with Dr Anna Hájková and Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová
DESCRIPTION:MON 13 APR 2026 18:30 Westminster Synagogue\, London \nWhere are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? There are almost none. Dr Anna Hájková examines why the history of same-sex desire during the Shoah – queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race – is largely absent from history books\, and how restoring these narratives can contribute to a more inclusive understanding of the Holocaust. \nBased on extensive archival research and oral histories\, her book\, recently awarded the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category\, offers a concise and accessible insight into the queer history of the Holocaust for both general readers and specialists. On Monday 13th April\, Anna will discuss her research in conversation with Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová on the occasion of Yom HaShoah\, the annual day of Holocaust remembrance in the Jewish calendar. \n\n\n 	6.30pm – Erev Yom HaShoah Service\n 	7pm – In Conversation\, followed by Q&A and refreshments\n 	Early Bird Tickets: £15 members / £20 non-members\nEarly bird ends Monday 6 April\nBOOK NOW\n\nDr Anna Hájková is Reader of modern European continental history at the University of Warwick. She is the author of\, among others\, The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt (2020) and People Without History Are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (2025) which won the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category\, in February. Hájková is the pioneer of queer Holocaust history.

SUMMARY:Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return – Monodrama in One Act – When Diary Notes Grow into Literature
DESCRIPTION:For five years\, acting student Anna Torner travelled across the world\, documenting her experiences and inner journey in blog posts. From London to South America\, from India to New Zealand\, her travel journals eventually grew into her 2024 novel\, Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)\, which traces a young woman’s coming-of-age through her diary entries. \n\nIn 2025\, Boglárka Berecz and Mátyás Dögei adapted the book for the stage\, with Péter Vargyas composing its music and writing the lyrics. Thus was born the monodrama Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return–a sensitive and humorous theatrical piece that takes the audience through this intimate journey of self-discovery. \nThroughout Anna Torner’s creative path – moving between writing and acting – her blog posts evolved into works of literary merit\, while acting became a defining part of her life. \nJoin us for this special performance\, which aims to offer us all relatable touchstones and answers. \n\n\n\nSynopsis \nIt takes one hour to fly from Budapest to Târgu Mureș. Travelling through England\, Asia\, and South America – sometimes by bicycle\, car\, train\, on foot\, by bus\, ship\, truck\, ferry\, tractor\, boat\, or motorbike – alone\, but never completely alone\, the same journey can take five years. \nThe journey matters more than the destination. I move like a ghost through a Parisian apartment. Pink ponies in London. In the junky quarter\, I swim across the canal with you. We cycle around Southeast  Asia and New  Zealand. Without you\, I hitchhike on Mexican trucks\, my Christmas dinner is green banana boiled with callaloo leaves\, and I rewrite the rules of wild camping. Don’t look for happiness outside. I try what’s worth trying in Colombia\, dance at a Kichwa celebration in Ecuador\, travel through Peru with Tata\, and get close to the Big Dipper itself. Without you. Home is within you. By the time I return\, maybe my phone will finally ring. \nThe performance runs 1 hour and 15 minutes and will be performed in English. \n\n\n\nDirector: Boglárka Berecz\nDramaturg and musical director: Mátyás Dögei\nPerformed by: Anna Torner\nLive music and vocals: Péter Vargyas\n\n\n\nWhen a young woman gathers her savings and buys a one-way ticket to Mexico – and keeps going\, farther and farther still – she can be sure to stumble upon a thousand little stories along the way. She sleeps in roadside motels\, trucks\, tents\, and pay toilets. Cooks banana soup in a Rasta hut in Belize\, finds surrogate parents in Peru\, argues with soldiers in the Indian mountains\, and ends up in a quarantine hostel in New Zealand. She babysits\, fries doughnuts\, tends bar\, and shears sheep. She makes friendships for life. Sometimes she curses the very idea of living in the moment – and herself. Because what are a thousand adventures compared to a fulfilled love? Then she’s off again\, speeding into the sunset on a truck bed. Or moves into a flat on Dob Street\, Budapest. And then moves on once more\, always farther – until… What does it really mean to arrive? \nAnna Torner travelled the world for five years. Her novel – born from blog entries and perhaps letters never sent – is both a travelogue and a diary\, written for those who keep searching\, with endless curiosity\, for their own path. \nLeonidasz Purosz\, editor of Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)

SUMMARY:Roma Routes – Art\, Identity\, and Expression from Hungary
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 8 April to mark International Roma Day for Roma Routes\, an evening of photography\, film\, and contemporary art exploring the journeys that shape Roma identity. Bringing together documentary work from a collaborative project in Tiszavasvári\, Hungary\, and artistic reflections by London-based Roma artist Robert Czibi\, the exhibition traces connections between place\, memory\, and belonging. Through images\, stories\, and personal perspectives\, Roma Routes invites audiences to reflect on how identity is shaped between the places we come from and the places we continue to become.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two intertwined narratives: the story of a segregated Roma community in Tiszavasvári\, and that of an artist born in another Roma neighbourhood in the same region who has carried its memory across borders.\n\nThe first story is that of collaboration: stepping across internal borders between the countryside and the Hungarian capital\, Budapest\, to involve participants from the Roma neighbourhood of a small town in the North-East of Hungary in a collaborative writing project with local non-Roma residents through the publication of the periodical Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together.\n\nThe second story is of the artist\, Robert Czibi who crossed internal borders of identity and the physical borders of countries on many occasions before finding his expressive voice in the multiplicity of London’s lingua-culture. The simultaneity of identity as rootedness in Roma origins and identity as motion and interaction with our surroundings is what unites the two narratives that unfold in the images exhibited together.\n\n\nThe Road Ahead\nDocumentary and Photography Projects from Hungary – Film and photography\n\nThis photo exhibition was created in collaboration between photojournalist Márton Kállai\, multiple-winner of the Hungarian Press Photo Competition\, and the Tiszavasvári Roma Girls’ Youth Club\, on the initiative of the KRE Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation research group at Károli Gáspár University in Budapest. Together\, Roma and non-Roma participants from Tiszavasvári and Budapest write and publish the journal Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together\, creating a narrative of trust and belonging about Roma futures and the coexistence of Roma and non-Roma in Hungary. The documentary film Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together: Stories of a collaborative journal in support of Roma social participation showcases stages from their journey together: how they forged a collaborative writing and research collective across the borders of identity that separate people living alongside each other.\n\n\n\n\nThere I Was Born\, Here I Become\nContemporary Art\n\nRobert Czibi’s artistic response unfolds as a parallel journey alongside the documentary and the photos. Although Robert’s works reflect his individual journey as a London-based Roma artist from Hungary\, his journey explores the potentialities that open up when collectives or individuals persistently criss-cross and interrogate physical and narrative borders of identity. Through his works\, he returns to the landscapes of his childhood not only to remember\, but to understand how identity is formed between the place of birth and the place of becoming. Through images\, he explores what it means to grow up in a Roma family\, to leave it behind\, and to continue carrying its imprint in his works. Together\, his artworks create a dialogue between here and there\, between collective memory and personal transformation.\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n 	18:30 – Film screening (25 minutes)\n 	19:00 – Panel discussion – The Road Ahead – Documentary and Photography Projects from Hungary\n 	19:30 – There I Was Born\, Here I Become – Private view\n 	21:00 – End of Event\n\n\n\n\nWe warmly invite audiences to join us for an evening of photography\, film and contemporary art marking International Roma Day. Through documentary images\, collaborative storytelling and personal artistic reflection\, Roma Routes opens a space to engage with questions of identity\, belonging\, and the journeys that shape Roma lives across places and generations.\n\nThe exhibition offers an opportunity to encounter the voices and perspectives behind these projects and to reflect on how communities and individuals navigate the paths between heritage\, memory and new beginnings.\n\nRegistration is open via Eventbrite.\n\nThe event is supported by the National Research\, Development and Innovation Office – Hungary and organised by the Liszt Institute London

SUMMARY:Athens Tales: Athens in Literature and Song
DESCRIPTION:Join the book launch and discussion of Athens Tales\, an anthology of one hundred and fifty years of Greek short fiction about Athens\, compiled and translated into English by Joshua Barley. The evening will include an illustrated presentation of the book by the translator\, and an accompanying performance of Athenian songs by mezzo-soprano Alexandra Achillea.  \nThis is the main UK launch of Athens Tales\, recently published by Oxford University Press. The book is an anthology of the last one hundred and fifty years of Greek short fiction about Athens\, comprising eighteen authors from representative periods of the city’s modern history. There are stories of war and migration\, love stories and other vignettes of Athenian life\, through which the reader traces the multiple transformations of the Greek capital. With each author bringing their own perspective as well as style\, the anthology is both an introduction to modern Greek literature as well as a portrait of Athens through its writers. At this event\, the book’s creator and translator\, Joshua Barley\, will give an illustrated talk weaving together some of the anthology’s lesser-known authors with the modern history of the city. He will be joined by special guests including the singer Alexandra Achillea\, who will perform a selection of twentieth-century Athenian songs with piano accompaniment.

SUMMARY:Why women’s stories of war matter. Ukraine in a global context.
DESCRIPTION:Location:\n\n\n\n\nInstitut français\n17 Queensberry Place\nLondon\nSW7 2DT \n\n\nJoin us for a conversation on women’s experiences of war\, inspired by stories from Ukraine collected by the Ukrainian writer Yuliia Iliukha in her book My Women. These are diverse\, often unseen and silenced experiences:painful\, intimate\, sometimes even funny. They rarely make newspaper headlines\, yet they are no less important than frontline reports or updates from sites of destruction. \nTogether with Christina Lamb OBE\,Chief Foreign Correspondent at The Sunday Times\, one of Britain’s leading foreign journalists and bestselling author of Our Bodies Their Battlefields and What War Does to Women\, we will discuss why women’s stories matter and how they resonate within a broader global context. \nStories of women’s wartime experiences allow us to better understand the trauma of contemporary war and the ways it shapes daily life. They stay with us. They are remembered\, retold\, and carried forward. They bear witness\, cultivate solidarity\, and help us endure. \n\nSpeaker \n\n\nYuliia Iliukha \n\nYuliia Iliukha is a poet\, prose writer and journalist\, born in 1982 in Kharkiv oblast\, Ukraine. She is the author of several books for adults and children. Her poems and prose stories have been translated into over fifteen languages. Iliukha has received awards\, including the Oles Honchar International Ukrainian-German Literary Prize\, the Smoloskyp Prize\, and the Rotahorn Literaturpreis. My Women won the BBC Book of the Year 2024 in Ukraine and was shortlisted for the EBRD Literature Prize 2025. The book has been published in the US\, France\, Sweden\, Slovakia\, Austria\, Poland\, Greece\, Lithuania and Italy\, with translations forthcoming in Bulgaria\, Latvia\, Spain and Finland. Illukha is currently working on a novel. \n\nModerator \n\n\nChristina Lamb \n\nCovering conflicts across the globe for the past 38 years\, Christina Lamb is recognised as one of the world’s leading foreign correspondents and is Chief Foreign Correspondent for The Sunday Times as well as a bestselling author. \nHer dispatches with the Afghan mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union saw her named Young Journalist of the Year at the age of 22. She has since reported everywhere from Israel to Ukraine\, Syria to Zimbabwe and been awarded Foreign Correspondent of the Year seven times as well as Europe’s top war reporting prize\, the Prix Bayeux\, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Society of Editors and Women in Journalism as well as the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting the understanding of war\, previously awarded to Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill. Christina’s work has earned her international renown not only as a ground-breaking journalist but as a campaigner for women impacted by war.  She has authored ten books\, including Our Bodies Their Battlefields\, What War Does to Women and co-writing I Am Malala with Malala Yousafzai. \nShe is a Global envoy for UN Education Cannot Wait\, on the board of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting\, and an Associate of the Imperial War Museum and was awarded an OBE in 2013 as well as an honorary doctorate from Oxford in 2026. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Matchbox Girl: Alice Jolly in Conversation with Rosie Goldsmith
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome prize-winning novelist Alice Jolly\, author of The Matchbox Girl\, in conversation with award-winning journalist Rosie Goldsmith. \nSet in 1930’s Vienna\, The Matchbox Girl brilliantly brings neurodiversity to light. \nJoin us for a conversation offering insight into the story of a young non-verbal girl’s battle for survival and search for the truth. \n\nAbout The Matchbox Girl \nAdelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this\, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible\, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat\, Franz Joseph\, listening in on conversations she can’t fully comprehend. Then she meets Dr Asperger\, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic\, where she and other children like herself will live under observation. But the year is 1938 and the place is Vienna – a city of political instability\, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city\, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made. Why are the clinic’s children disappearing\, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger’s games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive\, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand. \n\nAlice Jolly is a novelist and playwright. Her writing has been awarded the PEN/Ackerley Prize\, an O Henry Prize and the V. S. Pritchett Memorial Prize\, and been longlisted for Ondaatje Prize and the Rathbones Folio Prize. She teaches on the Creative Writing Masters at Oxford University. \n\nRosie Goldsmith is an award-winning journalist and presenter\, specializing in arts and foreign affairs. As a BBC broadcaster for twenty years\, she travelled the world. Today she combines journalism with presenting and curating cultural and literary events. As well as being Director of the European Literature Network and Editor-in-Chief of The Riveter magazine\, Rosie is also the Artistic Director of the European Writers’ Festival in the UK\, a books podcaster and book prize judge.

SUMMARY:World Between Us
DESCRIPTION:Will Marie from a small town in the Czech Republic succeed by fulfilling her lifetime dream to conquer New York as a still photographer? \nMarie Tomanová travelled from Mikulov to the USA as an au pair\, and today she shoots campaigns for fashion brands such as Nike\, Instagram\, or for the fashion magazines such as Vogue CS. However\, her name is better known abroad than in her native country\, which provided few opportunities for the young painter. Paradoxically\, it was only in New York\, far from home\, that she was able to grow up and find herself – a transition greatly supported by Marie’s partner in professional and personal life\, art historian Thomas Beachdel. Tomanová touches the world in a different way\, with a rush of positive emotions\, an immediate connection\, acting as a medium through which the energy of the portrait-sitter passes. Directed by fellow Czech expatriate Marie Dvořáková\, a Student Academy Award winner\, the film is both a tender portrait of friendship and a reflection on ambition\, identity\, and the search for home. Through the story of the two Maries\, World Between Us explores the fragile space between worlds\, showing that home is not always a place but a feeling of connection\, belonging\, and self-discovery. \nMarie Dvořáková\, Czech Republic\, Slovakia 2024\, 90 min\, English subtitles   \nBest Cinematography Award at the 24th Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival\nMarie Dvořáková was born in Jablonec nad Nisou\, and after studying directing at FAMU\, she went on to study for a master’s degree at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She now lives and works in the USA. Her short film Who’s Who in Mycology (2016)\, for which she won a student Oscar in Hollywood\, opened the door to a big world for her. \n\nAdmission: £5\nBOOK NOW\n\nThe screening is an accompanying event to the exhibition Pixels and Poetics: Sudek\, Funke\, and the Influence of New Technologies on the Development of Photography\, presented at the Vitrínka and Bouda Galleries and in the public space outside the Czech Embassy\, running from 20 January to 13 March 2026.

SUMMARY:Wolves\, Folklore\, and Family: Reading and Discussion with Zuzana Rihova
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Czech writer and scholar Zuzana Říhová joins Dr Kathryn Murphy (University of Oxford) for an informal evening of readings and discussion of her novel Playing Wolf\, a contemporary tale set in the Czech countryside. \nA couple move from Prague with their young son to a remote village in the hope of repairing their failing marriage. As they attempt to settle in\, they encounter a closed community shaped by unspoken rules\, strange coincidences\, and fragments of local folklore. Using the familiar tale of Little Red Riding Hood\, subtly woven into the narrative\, the story illuminates themes of vulnerability\, trust\, and hidden menace. \nBlending psychological insight with folkloric resonance\, Playing Wolf explores how myths and inherited stories continue to influence behaviour and relationships in the present day. The conversation will reflect on the role of folklore and fairy-tale motifs in the novel\, and on how quiet tensions within families and communities can slowly transform lives. \nZuzana Říhová studied Czech language and literature and comparative literature at Charles University in Prague. She has published a collection of poetry\, Pustím si tě do domu (I’ll Let You in My House)\, and a novella\, Evička (Little Eve). \nAlex Zucker’s translations include novels by Magdaléna Platzová\, Jáchym Topol\, Bianca Bellová\, Petra Hůlová\, and Tomáš Zmeškal. He has also translated plays\, subtitles\, young adult and children’s books\, poems\, philosophy\, art history\, and an opera. \nKathryn Murphy is Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oriel College\, Oxford\, where she writes about and teaches seventeenth-century literature. Her book\, Robert Burton: A Vital Melancholy is forthcoming from Reaktion. She studied Czech literature at the University of Glasgow\, and reviews Czech fiction for the Times Literary Supplement. \nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBook Here \nZuzana Říhová will also appear in Oxford the day before\, on Wednesday 4 March 2026\, for a special event at The Queen’s College exploring poetry in translation alongside a reading from Playing Wolf. The Oxford evening will include discussion\, a book signing and refreshments. Free entry. More info

SUMMARY:VICTORIA EUGENIA
DESCRIPTION:Instituto Cervantes in London\, in collaboration with National Heritage\, the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, and The Royal Collection Trust\, presents a lecture dedicated to the exhibition on Queen Victoria Eugenie at the Gallery of the Royal Collections in Madrid.\n\nThe event offers an illuminating journey through the life\, legacy\, and public image of one of the most distinctive figures of modern Spanish monarchy. Through the pieces featured in the exhibition—portraits\, personal objects\, clothing\, documents\, photographs\, and artworks related to her life—the presentations will offer the audience a multidimensional view of a queen whose biography was shaped by historical tensions\, social transformations\, and personal challenges.\n\nVictoria Eugenie of Battenberg\, born in Scotland in 1887 and Queen Consort of Spain following her marriage to Alfonso XIII in 1906\, lived through a decisive period in European history: the rapid modernization of cities\, the emergence of new artistic sensibilities\, the rise of the mass media\, and the profound political changes that culminated in the Second Republic and her subsequent exile. The lecture examines how the exhibition brings these contexts together to portray not only the institutional figure\, but also the woman\, wife\, and mother who had to adapt to an often-hostile environment.\n\nThe lecture will also highlight the museographic contribution of the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, emphasizing how the exhibition uses visual and narrative resources to bring closer to visitors a figure who remains largely unknown to the general public.

SUMMARY:Franz + Q&A with director Agnieszka Holland and actor Josef Trojan
DESCRIPTION:Agnieszka Holland charts the burgeoning talent and tragically short life of the Czech writer. \nSelected as Poland’s official Oscar submission\, Agnieszka Holland’s bold and dynamic portrait of Franz Kafka finds a creative young man at odds with the world. Franz is torn between a stern father and the monotony of his job at an insurance company\, and an overwhelming desire to write. What emerges is an author who transforms his lived experiences into a vision of a bureaucratic world that edges towards nightmare. Idan Weiss excels as the young Kafka with Josef Trojan skilfully playing his alter ego and Tomasz Naumiuk’s camera beautifully conjures up early 20th-century Prague. \nPart of the 24th Kinoteka Polish Film Festival organised by Polish Cultural Institute. \nDir. Agnieszka Holland\, Czech Republic-Poland-Germany-France-Turkey 2025\, 127min\, English subtitlesWith: Idan Weiss\, Peter Kurth\, Jenovéfa Boková\, Carol Schuler\, Josef Trojan \n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Mr Nobody Against Putin
DESCRIPTION:When Russia invades Ukraine\, schoolteacher Pavel “Pasha” Talankin becomes an unlikely dissident. In a small industrial town\, he is beloved by his students for his humor\, creativity\, and care. But as patriotic lessons\, military drills\, and state propaganda take over classrooms\, Pasha begins filming. \n\nOver two years\, he covertly documents the transformation of the school into recruitment grounds for war\, children drawn into the machinery of indoctrination\, and colleagues silenced under new repressive laws. What emerges is a gripping\, intimate portrait of life under a tightening regime and one man’s quiet courage. Haunted by his past and risking everything\, Pasha exposes the erosion of truth and the resilience of those who dare to resist from within\, even at great personal cost. \n\nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBOOK NOW\n\nThe screening commemorates the four-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for peace and justice. \nIn collaboration with the Danish Embassy in London. \n\n\nDavid Borenstein\, Pasha Talankin\, Denmark\, Czech Republic\, Germany\, 2025\, 90’\, English subtitles

SUMMARY:UK Premiere: Mary\, Marianna\, Maria: The Unsung Greek Years of Callas
DESCRIPTION:“A fascinating\, as well as moving film\, bound to be a revelation for many people” – Marie-Aude Roux\, Le Monde  \nJoin us for the UK premiere of Mary\, Marianna\, Maria: The Unsung Greek Years of Callas. The documentary sheds light on Maria Callas’ life in Greece during her early years and her coming of age as a woman and as an artist in Athens during World War II and the years after 1957 when the internationally renowned diva reconnected with Greece.  \nThe Greek National Opera’s documentary\, conceived\, researched\, and written by Vasilis Louras\, directed by Michalis Asthenidis and Vasilis Louras\, and produced by Stella Angeletou\, brings to light valuable archival material and reveals\, for the first time\, the last rehearsal recording that Maria Callas made at her home in Paris a month prior to her passing.  Her foremost artistic achievements and little-known debuts\, the figures who influenced her\, and the major landmarks in her development as an artist are all explored – as well as  the prevailing social and political circumstances in Greece during World War II\, the Greek Civil War milieu of the 1940s and 19’50s\, and the unjust attacks she endured. These key narrative threads tell the story of the troubled\, novel-like life of Callas\, who always walked the line between tragedy and triumph.  \nThis documentary seeks to tell the story of Callas’ early years – the story of a triumph achieved through strength of character and talent\, hard work and dedication\, a story that saw her defy every difficulty and the abusive behaviour she faced. We are delighted that a discussion and Q&A with directors Vasilis Louras and Michalis Asthenidis and producer Stella Angeletou will follow the screening.  \nThe event is supported by AEGEAN\, the Hellenic Centre’s official air carrier.  \nImage credit: Still from the documentary Mary\, Marianna\, Maria: The Unsung Greek Years of Callas

SUMMARY:Meet the artist - Guided Tour & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by Géza Starmüller\, this workshop takes a participatory artistic format\, fostering direct dialogue between artists and audiences. Participants are encouraged to engage in shared creative processes and moderated discussions\, exploring themes of philosophy\, history\, and contemporary art. The programme moves beyond traditional presentation models\, emphasising collaboration\, critical thinking\, and collective reflection in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. \nThe guided tour offers an open platform where artistic practice and intellectual exchange meet in a live\, communal\, and warm setting. \n\n\nGéza Starmüller (b. 1966\, Cluj) is a contemporary visual artist and sculptor based in Transylvania. The fourth generation of artists in his family\, his practice is rooted in a lifelong engagement with art\, supported by both family heritage and formal training. He studied sculpture at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca and further developed his practice through private mentorships and international art camps. \nWorking primarily with conceptual and spiritual foundations\, his artistic language unfolds through oil painting and bronze sculpture\, and more occasionally through stone and wood. His work explores the moment when spirit penetrates matter\, an approach he defines as cosmic surrealism. Influenced by philosophy\, diverse cultures\, personal life experience\, and place\, his creative process often begins with an intuitive vision that matures over the years into its final form. \nStarmüller has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions and has contributed to major public art projects\, including the restoration of the Statue of Liberty in Arad\, as well as other monuments in Romania and abroad.
