SUMMARY:Exhibition Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust UK Tour
DESCRIPTION:From January 2026\, the powerful international exhibition Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust will embark on a nationwide tour across the United Kingdom. July location: Swiss Cottage Library \n1st – 31st July\, FREE\, Swiss Cottage Library\, 88 Avenue Road\, London NW3 3HA \nThe exhibition\, organized by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) based in Poland\, brings to life the extraordinary tales of moral courage and heroism during one of the darkest chapters in human history. Visitors will gain insights into the complex and often perilous decisions faced by ordinary individuals who risked everything to help Jewish people escape the horrors of the Holocaust. \nThe UK tour kicked off at the Forum in Southend-on-Sea from January 6 to April 21\, 2026\, before continuing to multiple cities and boroughs throughout the year. Among the locations set to host the exhibition are Worcester\, Redditch\, Loughborough\, Salford\, Huddersfield\, and several boroughs in London\, including Camden\, Sutton\, and Barnet. \nThe exhibition features accounts from survivors and rescuers across fifteen European countries\, providing a comprehensive and moving perspective on the moral choices made during the Second World War. The British chapter of the exhibition highlights several significant stories\, including that of Eva Paddock\, who arrived in the UK as a child on one of the transports organized by the renowned Sir Nicholas Winton. Also featured are the remarkable stories of sisters Ida and Louise Cook\, London-based women who played a pivotal role in helping Jewish refugees by smuggling valuables across borders and supporting refugees upon their arrival in the UK. In recognition of their bravery\, the Cook sisters were honored as “Righteous Among the Nations” by Yad Vashem in 1964. \nBetween Life and Death pays tribute to the courageous individuals who\, despite the looming threats of imprisonment\, deportation\, or even death\, made the conscious decision to help those persecuted by the Nazi regime. The exhibition combines the stories of both the rescuers and the survivors\, shedding light on the complexities of human relationships during wartime\, and providing historical context to each account. By focusing on acts of moral courage\, the exhibition delves into how human compassion can thrive even under the most extreme circumstances. \nThis traveling exhibition is the result of a collaborative effort between ENRS\, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, and the Silent Heroes Memorial Centre in Berlin. First presented in Brussels in 2018\, Between Life and Death has since been shown in numerous European countries and even in Japan\, reaching thousands of visitors worldwide. \nVisitors to the exhibition will not only experience the personal stories of courage and resilience but will also be prompted to reflect on the power of individual action in the face of injustice. The hope is that this exhibition will foster greater understanding and remembrance of the Holocaust\, while highlighting the ongoing relevance of moral choices in today’s world. \nThe exhibition is free to attend\, but advanced booking is recommended for certain locations. For further details about the exhibition tour and to learn more about the stories it tells\, please visit the official ENRS website at this link. \nThe Polish Cultural Institute is one of the partners of Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust. \nThe official opening of the exhibition at Swiss Cottage Library will take place on the 7th July at 18:00 GMT.

SUMMARY:Mama Klorin: A Conversation with Visual Artist and Women Cleaners
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion centring the voices of women cleaners of Greece in the 1990s–2000s. Behind each mop-stroke lie displacement and invisible labour. Doreida Xhogu’s Mama Klorin explores memory\, migration\, class and human dignity\, issues that resonate across borders\, generations and social divides.  \nHere the women cleaners speak for themselves\, not as symbols\, but as people with voice\, memory and lived experience. Centring Doreida Xhogu’s Mama Klorin project\, initiated in 2015 as an emotional territory shaped by her and her mother’s experiences as migrant cleaning workers\, the conversation brings personal testimony into dialogue with art\, migration and social history.  \nThrough stories rarely heard in public\, the speakers trace what migration demanded of them and what it made possible: what they left behind (homes\, families\, lives and careers)\, and what they encountered on arrival\, often invisible labour\, inequality and the daily reality of being overlooked\, alongside resilience\, solidarity and persistence. They will reflect on the different routes that nonetheless converged in the same occupation and on the embodied experience of cleaning work. The tired body\, the passing glance\, the silence that can accompany everyday labour. Across each testimony emerges the richness of their identities as women\, mothers and workers\, reminding us that questions of dignity and value concern us all.  \nSpeakers: Adriana Xhogu\, Liliana Saliaj\, Maria Michalakopoulou\, Doreida Xhogu.   \nChair: Pari Vardhami and Ioanna Papapavlou\, curators of the exhibition Mama Klorin.

SUMMARY:Lorca and the archive
DESCRIPTION:MEMORY IN MOTION\n\nLorca y el archivo emerges as a powerful tribute marking the 90th anniversary of Federico García Lorca’s assassination\, revisiting his life\, voice\, and enduring legacy through documents\, memory\, and performance. The show interweaves archival materials with poetic interpretation\, bringing Lorca’s spirit into the present while reflecting on themes of repression\, creativity\, and cultural identity. More than a commemoration\, it invites audiences to rediscover the poet’s relevance today\, honoring not only his tragic death in 1936 but also the timeless vitality of his words.\n\n \n\nThis event consists of two lectures: one on la Generación del 27 and the importance of La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid for Spanish culture\, and the second one on the exhibition Lorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion\, curated by Andrew A. Anderson\, Melissa Dinverno and Christopher Maurer.\n\nLectures by Dr. Melissa Dinverno —Associate Professor of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, Indiana University Bloomington and curator of the exhibition Lorca and The Archive\, on show at La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid\, and Dr. Stephen Roberts— Professor from the School of Cultures\, Languages and Area Studies\, Department of Spanish\, Portuguese and Latin American Studies – Nottingham University.\n\n \n\n¨”The Residencia de Estudiantes and the Generation of 1927″\n\nLecture by Stephen Roberts\n\nThis talk will provide an overview of an educational institution and a literary movement that have become symbols of the cultural splendour of pre-Civil War Spain.\n\nThe Residencia de Estudiantes\, founded in 1910\, was an experimental educational space where university students lived and studied alongside their lecturers and enjoyed talks by invited speakers such as Miguel de Unamuno and José Ortega y Gasset\, Marie Curie\, Albert Einstein\, Stravinsky\, Keynes and Le Corbusier. It also brought together budding artists such as Luis Buñuel\, Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca and was one of the iconic spaces associated with the incubation of what became known as the poetic Generation of 1927.\n\nThis Generation\, whose centenary we are soon to mark\, owes its name to the commemoration in December 1927 of the 300th anniversary of the death of Golden Age poet Luis de Góngora\, whose densely metaphorical verse offered young poets such as Alberti\, Cernuda\, Guillén\, Bergamín\, Altolaguirre\, Alonso and Lorca a means of breaking free from the Romantic and Symbolist idiom of their elders and of their own youthful verse. But the Generation of 1927 was not just about poetry or about this group of male poets. It also involved women poets such as Concha Méndez and Ernestina de Champourcín and a whole host of painters\, musicians\, composers\, dancers\, actors\, directors\, puppeteers\, set designers and philosophers who often worked alongside and collaborated with Lorca and his poet friends. The talk will pay homage to this strikingly creative and vibrant generation of artists.\n\n \n\nStorytelling Archives: García Lorca and ‘Memory in Motion’\n\nLecture by Melissa Dinverno\n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion is a major museum exhibit that is currently in Madrid (April 24-July 26\, 2026) at the renowned Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid\, Spain\, where Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) once lived and studied. Curated by Lorca scholars Andrew A. Anderson (University of Virginia)\, Melissa Dinverno (Indiana University) and Christopher Maurer (Boston University)\, it tells for the first time the story of the construction of the Lorca Foundation archive since its inception in 1936\, using its own materials to activate and sew together stories of salvage\, discovery\, acquisition\, loss\, and perseverance. Through over 350 pieces\, of which approximately 70% of which are unpublished or rarely seen\, it tells the human stories behind the archive’s making\, revealing the complicated political and cultural contexts that people navigated through war\, exile and transitional democracy. This talk gives us a glimpse into this major exhibit\, the stories behind it\, and some of its signature pieces\, bringing the audience closer to the insights it offers and to the way it impacts our understanding of Lorca.\n\n \n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion\n\nA writer’s archive is a storehouse of history and possibilities. It is the fertile soil from which verse\, prose\, and a constantly evolving vision of their work spring forth\, as well as the material trace of that work and the life journey of the writer\, his family\, and his friends. The Archive of the Fundación Federico García Lorca is the most complex and diverse of the many dedicated to the poet\, located in Spain and abroad. Although it has been meticulously catalogued\, to date no one has studied its history\, its rich present\, and the gaps left by war\, exile\, and state intervention.\n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion begins the process of recovering this hitherto unknown history: the evolution of the archive from the poet’s death to the present day. As “memory in motion”\, the exhibition —like the archive itself— highlights the efforts of those who created it and the sociopolitical contexts in which it was produced. It recounts for the first time the various stages it went through: a story of loss and salvation\, discovery and perseverance. Based on new and rigorous research in personal\, family\, and state archives\, it looks both to the past and to new possibilities in the future.\n\n*\n\nStephen Roberts is Professor in Modern Spanish Literature and Intellectual History at the University of Nottingham. He has published on Spanish thought (Unamuno\, Ortega)\, the finisecular novel (Galdós\, Baroja\, Valle-Inclán)\, poetry (Juan Ramón Jiménez\, Lorca\, Neruda)\, Spanish exiles in Great Britain\, and cinema (Bardem\, Erice). He is the author of Deep Song. The Life and Work of Federico García Lorca (Reaktion Press\, 2020). He is currently researching the foreign policy of the Miguel Primo de Rivera Dictatorship (1923-1930) and is leading an international British Academy/Leverhulme project entitled The Limits of Liberalism: Lessons from Spain.\n\nMelissa Dinverno is a professor of Spanish Literature at Indiana University (U.S.A.). She has published Lorca y el archivo: Diálogos con el porvenir (2024) and essays on Spanish literature and film\, García Lorca\, cultural memory and editorial theory. She is editor of the critical reconstruction of García Lorca’s Suites (in preparation)\, curator of Suites and the Voyage of Perception (2020 Centro Federico García Lorca\, Granada) and\, with Andrew A. Anderson and Christopher Maurer\, co-curator of Lorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion (2024-25 Centro Federico García Lorca\, Granada; 2026 Residencia de Estudiantes\, Madrid). She is the recipient of an NEH Fellowship\, was a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the Universidad Complutense and is director of a digital humanities project mapping Lorca-related archives.\n\n \n\nEvent organised in collaboration with La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid.

SUMMARY:Dr Yiannis Toumazis Lecture & Talk
DESCRIPTION:A glimpse into Famagusta’s cultural : A treasure trove of Greek Cypriot art returned by the Turkish Cypriot to the Greek Cypriot community \n\n\nGeorghiou – Timeless Cyprus\, presented in London on the occasion of Cyprus’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union (January–June 2026). \n\n\nDelivered by Dr Yiannis Toumazis\, the talk offers a rare and deeply personal insight into the return of important Greek Cypriot artworks that remained inaccessible for decades in Famagusta. Drawing on his pivotal role in the bicommunal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage\, Dr Toumazis reflects on the negotiations\, field visits\, documentation processes\, and human encounters that enabled these works to be recovered and shared once more with the public. \n\n\nAt the heart of the lecture lies the work of George Pol. Georghiou\, a central figure of Cypriot modern art whose paintings became a visual chronicle of the island’s modern history. Rooted in the landscapes\, people\, and traditions of Cyprus\, his imagery captures both monumental and intimate momentsm faith and daily life\, displacement and continuity\, memory and resilience. Through this lens\, the lecture invites audiences to consider how art can function as testimony and how cultural heritage can preserve identity across time and rupture. \n\n\nExpanding the themes of the exhibition\, the talk explores the broader concept of cultural return and restitution\, addressing why the protection and recovery of cultural heritage remains a shared European responsibility. Within the context of Cyprus’s EU Presidency\, the event highlights culture as a powerful space for dialogue\, cooperation\, and reconciliation. \n\n\nVisitors are warmly encouraged to arrive early to view the exhibition before the lecture begins. \n\n\nPractical Information \n\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday 17 June 2026 \n\n\nTime: 18:30–20:30 (doors open at 18:00) \n\n\nVenue: The Hellenic Centre\, 16–18 Paddington Street\, London W1U 5AS \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition \n\n\nGeorge Pol. Georghiou – Timeless Cyprus is presented by the A. G. Leventis Foundationthrough the A. G. Leventis Gallery\, with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus and the Cyprus High Commission in the UK. The exhibition is curated by Loukia Loizou Hadjigavriel and Katerina Stephanides\, following the vision of the late Eleni S. Nikita\, and brings together works from state\, private\, and family collections\, including a significant number of works returned from the occupied areas of Cyprus.

SUMMARY:Designed to Belong: Modernism\, Industry and Community
DESCRIPTION:Belonging is not accidental – it is designed. This panel explores how architecture shapes belonging\, not just by providing shelter\, but by structuring everyday life. \n\nUsing the Bata village at East Tilbury as a starting point\, it examines how modernist ideals\, industrial ambition and community planning created a distinctive model of living. Historian Milan Balaban situates the settlement within the global story of Bata cities\, while architectural historian Gillian Darley reflects on its significance for British modernism. Mick Pinion from the Bata Heritage Centre brings a local and heritage perspective on East Tilbury’s development and legacy\, and architect Ondřej Chybík discusses contemporary lessons for urban planning. Chaired by John Tusa\, the conversation links historical experiments to today’s questions of development\, identity and place-making. \nSPEAKERS:\nSir John Tusa is a British arts administrator\, author\, journalist and former presenter of the BBC’s Newsnight. Born in Czechoslovakia\, he moved to East Tilbury in 1939\, where his father was Managing Director of the British Bata Shoe Company factory.

SUMMARY:CZECH TRAITORS AND THE MEANING OF CZECH TREASON
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Mark Cornwall on Tuesday 20th October 2026 at 6.30pm in the Embassy of the Czech Republic\, 26-30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\n\n ‘Traitors’ are a very popular subject today\, and the idea that ‘treason’ is lurking in society is an age-old concept. The talk will focus on how traitors have regularly appeared in modern Czech history since the 19th century. As a small nation with leaders constantly striving to establish a special identity or independence in central Europe\, Czechs could often appear as traitors to those who saw them as disloyal or rebellious. Yet if many Czech traitors would be interpreted by the nation as heroes or liberators\, others could be seen as simply evil because they betrayed the nation to Habsburg\, Nazi or Communist oppressors. The talk will focus on three notorious phases of ‘Czech treason’: the Omladina trial of the 1890s; the treason of Czech leaders during the First World War; and the controversial case of Emanuel Moravec during the Nazi occupation. Each of them reveals something about Czech identity during years of national crisis. Each also shows that treason itself is a slippery concept\, whose meaning is usually in dispute until one side finally wins the power struggle\n\nMark Cornwall is Emeritus Professor of Modern European History at the University of Southampton. He has researched and taught modern Czech history for over 30 years\, and lived in Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s. He is currently researching the communist secret police (StB)\, and also writing a book about treason\, including Czech traitors\, in the late Habsburg Empire. In 2022 the Czech Academy of Sciences awarded Prof. Cornwall the ‘Palacký Medal for Merit in the Historical Sciences’ for his work on Czech history.\n\nPrice £15 including a glass of wine. To book via Eventbrite\, please click here. To pay at the door please notify us by clicking here\, or by email to events@czechfriends.net\n\nEVENT ORGANISED WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE EMBASSY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC\n\nAll proceeds raised go towards the care and conservation of Czech heritage\nImages supplied by author and via Creative Commons Wikimedia

SUMMARY:In Transit: Greek Artists Abroad
DESCRIPTION:In Transit is a sculptural dialogue shaped by the lived reality of standing between places and identities. Bringing together Greek artists who have worked abroad\, the exhibition reflects our shared in-between state—where memory\, displacement\, humour\, and adaptation collide—revealing how constant movement reshapes who we are and how we belong.  \nEach work emerges from the friction of distance: between homeland and host country\, memory and present time\, certainty and reinvention. Sculpture becomes a language for what cannot be easily spoken—the weight of absence\, the elasticity of identity\, the quiet negotiations required to belong somewhere new without losing where you began.  \nRather than illustrating migration\, the exhibition embodies it. Materials shift\, forms seem unsettled\, and meanings remain open\, echoing the instability and possibility of diasporic life. Humour appears beside vulnerability\, resilience beside doubt. These works do not seek resolution but dwell in transition\, where transformation is constant and definitions remain fluid.  \nIn Transit is ultimately an exhibition about becoming—about how movement reshapes not only where we are\, but who we are allowed to be.  \nFeaturing artists: Irini Bachlitzanaki\, Byron Kalomamas\, Amanda Kyritsopoulou\, Anna Lytridou\, Theodoris Papandreopoulos\, Eleni Papazoglou\, Eleni Tomadaki\, Costas Xanthis and Eleni Zervou. \nImage: Eleni Zervou\, Cerberus Milk\, 2023

SUMMARY:The Wisdom of Laughter for the Ancient Greeks
DESCRIPTION:What is humour? What does it do for us and for society? From the way the ancient Greeks thought of laughter to contemporary philosophy\, it is a fascinating subject that influences our daily lives.   \nFrom Plato to Bergson and\, more recently\, N. Carroll\, philosophers have always emphasised the importance of aggressiveness in humour. Indeed\, it is well known that many jokes are based\, directly or indirectly\, on racism\, sexism\, or other forms of discrimination. If there is no positive value in these types of aggression\, is it possible to regulate the humour that gives rise to them?  \nFurthermore\, we should attempt to explain why we find such jokes amusing\, even if we object to their content. Pierre Destrée and Elena Cagnoli Fiecconi will present this problem and its philosophical history. They will then discuss two very different ways in which ancient Greek philosophers proposed regulating it—those of Plato and Aristotle\, respectively.

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.

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: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

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. Online Tickets include the livestream on both days and catch up viewing for 14 days. \n\n\n\nThe European Writers’ Festival is organised by EUNIC London (European Union National Institutes for Culture) in partnership with the British Library and the European Literature Network. Chair of Programming Panel\, Rosie Goldsmith. The festival is supported by the EU Delegation to the UK and the European Parliament Liaison Office in the UK. \n\n\n\nFull programme details are below. \n\n\n\nSaturday 16 May\n\n\n\n11.00 – 12.15: Turning Points\n\n\n\nWendy Erskine (Ireland)\, Fiston Mwanza Mujila (Austria)\, Jente Posthuma (Netherlands) \n\n\n\nChair: Rosie Goldsmith \n\n\n\nLively wit\, dark humour\, daring literary formats and unconventional characters distinguish these three novels from three writers at the top of their game. Stories of life-changing events and the impact on individual lives\, from regime change in 1990s Zaire\, a sexual assault in modern Belfast and a devastating medical diagnosis in Dutch suburbia. \n\n\n\n12.45 – 14.00: Back To Nature\n\n\n\nZdravka Evtimova (Bulgaria)\, Małgorzata Lebda (Poland)\, Carolina Pihelgas (Estonia) \n\n\n\nChair: Antonia Lloyd-Jones \n\n\n\nThree award-winning\, multi-talented female writers (aka poets\, translators\, marathon runner and photographer!) return to nature to tackle the threat of climate change\, violence\, war\, poverty and injustice. But these exceptional books are far from depressing\, elevating these stories of girls\, women and grandmothers\, with profound emotional truths\, sharp satire\, glowing prose and the solace of nature. \n\n\n\n14.30 – 15.45: Secrets And Lies\n\n\n\nJørn Lier Horst (Norway)\, Makis Malafekas (Greece)\, Krisztina Tóth (Hungary) \n\n\n\nChair: Noreen Masud \n\n\n\nSecrets and lies abound in small town Norway\, big city Athens and a near-future central European dystopia. Three renowned writers bring us the twists\, turns and treacheries of an autocracy under surveillance\, a ‘washed-up writer and philosopher of Athens nightlife’- turned sleuth\, and then there’s P.I. Wisting\, the only person small town Larvik can trust to track down the mysterious ‘Night Man’. \n\n\n\n16.15 – 17.30: Tales Of The City\n\n\n\nSulaiman Addonia (Belgium)\, Beatriz Serrano (Spain) \n\n\n\nChair: Toby Lichtig \n\n\n\nAddonia is a British-Eritrean-Ethiopian novelist living in Brussels\, running a writing school for refugees; Serrano is a journalist and debut novelist from Spain.

In conversation. \n\n\n\nChair: Maya Jaggi \n\n\n\nNino Haratischwili and Vincenzo Latronico are two of Europe’s most successful writers\, both back home in Germany and Italy and also internationally in translation. Born in the former Soviet republic of Georgia\, today living in Berlin and writing in German\, Nino is nicknamed Germany’s Elena Ferrante for her page-turning epics of female friendship. She is also a well-known playwright and director\, and outspoken champion of independent Georgia. Vincenzo was born in Rome\, lives in Milan and spent many years in Berlin. He is an art critic\, novelist and Italian translator of George Orwell\, Oscar Wilde and many others. His breath-taking psychological study of a woke millennial couple in Berlin\, Perfection\, was a major critical success. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear this dynamic duo in conversation as they discuss their multi-cultural\, multi-lingual and multi-disciplinary creative lives with award-winning writer and critic Maya Jaggi. \n\n\n\nSunday 17 May\n\n\n\n11.30 – 12.45: Personal Histories\n\n\n\nFabio Andina (Switzerland)\, Liliana Corobca (Romania)\, Marjun Syderbø Kjelnæs (Faroes) \n\n\n\nChair:  Bidisha  \n\n\n\nMighty\, moving and prize-winning literature\, and rare insights into the history of three smaller European regions\, Ticino\, Moldova and the Faroes.

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. Their mission is to bridge the gap between languages and borders through the universal power of storytelling. \n\n\nDon’t miss this sincere and powerful production that explores what it truly means to come home\, whether that is a place on a map or the people we love – registration is open on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Do You Love Me
DESCRIPTION:Do You Love Me is a playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory\, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut\, spanning 70 years of film\, TV\, home videos and photography\, exploring the Lebanese collective psyche—marked by joy and intimacy\, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens\, filmmakers and artists\, the film pieces together a fragmented history in a country without a national archive\, celebrating creative expression as a form of resistance and renewal\, and as a means of preserving memory.

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: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.
