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:New release - Diamenti
DESCRIPTION:A film director gathers his favourite actresses\, those he worked with and those he loves. He wants to make a film about women but he doesn’t reveal much: he observes them\, takes cue\, until his imaginations throws them into an era where the noise of sewing machines fills the space\, handled and populated by women\, where men have minor and marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: the one of costume. Between loneliness\, passions\, anxieties\, heartbreaking absence and unbreakable bonds\, reality and fiction permeate\, as well as the lives of the actresses and those of the characters\, in a highly enjoyable film that celebrates the power of cinema and craft.

SUMMARY:Exclusive Screening Premiere: Lord Elgin and Some Stones of No Value (40-Year Anniversary)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive premiere screening of the newly restored film Lord Elgin and Some Stones of No Value (1986)\, celebrating 40 years since its release. Directed by Christopher Miles and featuring Hugh Grant’s first screen appearance\, the film is a nuanced and imaginative exploration of the Parthenon Sculptures’ removal from Athens\, drawing heavily on Lord Elgin’s own letters.  \nStarring Nigel Havers and Julian Fellowes\, the film has been meticulously researched and crafted with an unorthodox structure. Lord Elgin’s own words form the backbone of a narrative that shifts between past and present\, offering an experience that is at once informative\, thought-provoking\, and above all\, profoundly human.  \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A session\, mediated by George T. Lemos\, with a panel that will include film cast and crew members Suzy Miles and Alberto Bona\, who will speak about the restoration of the film. More special guests might join the event\, depending on their availability.

SUMMARY:The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch and Conversation with Editor and Translator Ágnes Lehóczky and Adam Piette \nThe translations by Piette and Lehóczky form a five-year-long project with an ambition to translate a significant selection of the poems of the modernist\, socialist\, working-class Hungarian poet\, Attila József (1905-1937). József lived a poverty-stricken\, passionate\, and unstable life as a wanderer\, a bohemian\, a poet\, a thinker\, a non-conformist\, a hobo\, and a lover till his untimely death by suicide\, struck by a train\, in Balatonszárszó on Lake Balaton\, aged only 32. His poetry is surrealist\, existentialist\, Villonesque\, tough-minded\, quasi anarchist\, deeply drenched in Hungarian folklore and the folk song\, passionate\, lyrical\, elegiac\, marked by his solitary wandering\, his keen observation of the lives of the people\, by his psychoanalytically inflected gaze into the unconscious\, into the mind and body of lovers\, his philosophical focus on dialectic and social injustice. \nThe lyrics\, free verse and formal\, in an astonishing number of experimental forms\, range from the metaphysical to the memoir\, have filiations to French medieval\, post-symbolist and surrealist poetry\, fuse Nietzsche\, Marx\, Hegel and Freud in daring raids on the inarticulate\, sing with haunting vernacular and ancient beauty and rise to extraordinary heights and flights of the imagination\, yet are always grounded in the real\, in the concrete particulars of the metropolis\, the dark streets of the underclasses of this world. \nThis bilingual volume presents a chronological selection of József’s poetry\, featuring both English translations and the original Hungarian texts. With introductions and afterwords by Ágnes Lehóczky\, George Szirtes\, György Tverdota\, Aranka Kemény and Adam Piette\, the book aims to recreate ‘The Song of the Cosmos’\, an unpublished collection József envisioned in the early 1920s. ‘Cosmos’ here isn’t the physical universe but rather the soul expanded to cosmic proportions\, a ‘universe imbued with a political subject’. The volume incorporates a faithful and playful reconstruction of the original graphic design\, conceived by József’s artist friend György Békeffi in the 1920s. \nÁgnes Lehóczky \nÁgnes Lehóczky’s poetry collections published in the UK are Budapest to Babel (Egg Box\, 2008)\, Rememberer (Egg Box\, 2012)\, Carillonneur (Shearsman\, 2014)\, Swimming Pool (Shearsman\, 2017)\, Lathe Biosas\, or on Dreams & Lies (Crater Press\, 2023) and Apropos Paradise Square (Pamenar Press\, 2025). She also has three full poetry collections in Hungarian published in Budapest: Ikszedik stáció (Universitas\, 2000)\, Medalion (Universitas\, 2002) and Palimpszeszt (Magyar Napló\, 2015). \nShe is the author of the academic monograph Poetry\, the Geometry of Living Substance – comprising four essays on the poetry of Ágnes Nemes Nagy (2011). Her pamphlet Pool Epitaphs and Other Love Letters was published by Boiler House Press (2017). She co-edited major international anthologies: the Sheffield Anthology (Smith/Doorstop\, 2012) with Adam Piette\, The World Speaking Back to Denise Riley (Boiler House\, 2018) with Zoë Skoulding\, Wretched Strangers (Boiler House\, 2018) with J. T. Welsch and most recently the ‘Monk Collective’ with Adam Piette (Blackbox Manifold\, 2023). Fission of Being – Endnotes on Earthbound was commissioned by The Roberts Institute of Art\, London in 2021. She is Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and Director of the Centre for Poetry and Poetics at the University of Sheffield. Lehóczky edited The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026) which she co-translated with Adam Piette. \nAdam Piette \nAdam Piette is Professor of Modern Literature at Sheffield. He is the co-editor of the international contemporary poetry journal Blackbox Manifold with Alex Houen. He is author of Remembering and the Sound of Words: Mallarmé\, Proust\, Joyce\, Beckett; Imagination at War: British Fiction and Poetry\, 1939-1945\, and The Literary Cold War\, 1945 to Vietnam. He edited the special issue of Translation and Literature on “Modernism and Translation”\, The Salt Companion to Peter Robinson with Katy Price (2007) and The Edinburgh Companion to Twentieth-Century British and American War Literature with Mark Rawlinson (2012). His poetry collections are: nights as dreaming (Constitutional Information / earthbound press)\, CCCLXV with Crater Press (October 2025)\, and Lies Blurring Here with Broken Sleep (2026). He is the co-translator\, with Ágnes Lehóczky\, of The Song of the Cosmos: Selected Poems of Attila József (Shearsman Books\, 2026).

SUMMARY:Third Person (Plural): A Cinematic Essay by Aikaterini Gegisian
DESCRIPTION:Third Person (Plural) is Aikaterini Gegisian’s feature-length cinematic essay\, built from over 200 postwar U.S. informational films and newsreels drawn from the Library of Congress and the National Archives. What begins as an exploration of early European integration history unfolds into a feminist re-reading of the masculine gaze that shaped the ‘new world order’.   \nThis layered work unfolds across a multi-screen installation\, a feature-length essay film\, and an artist’s book. Originating as a quest to source documents of early European integration processes in the post-war United States\, the project unfolds into an expansive feminist re-reading of the hegemonic masculine gaze and its manifestation in material images. The work is a bracing encounter with the gaze that produced the ‘image’ of the world as the new\, Western order\, bound by the notion of a united Europe\, the delirium of the Cold War\, and decolonisation processes. Casting a female gaze upon this history\, Third Person (Plural) reclaims the unseen perspectives that haunt the margins of official narratives\, making visible a collective ‘third person’.  \nGegisian will be joined by Shoair Mavlian\, Director of The Photographers’ Gallery\, for a discussion and Q&A.

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.

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: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.
