SUMMARY:Klára Hosnedlová: Echo
DESCRIPTION:11 Feb 2026 – 29 Mar 2026 \nWhite Cube Bermondsey\, London \nWhite Cube Bermondsey will open a solo exhibition of work by Klára Hosnedlová\, marking the artist’s debut with the gallery. Klára Hosnedlová’s corporeal\, immersive installations address utopian visions and imagine our future\, post-nature selves. Conceived as part-stage\, part-laboratory\, ‘Echo’ combines her signature photo-realist embroideries with architectural elements\, large-scale sculpture and textile works and living mycelium fungus. Incorporating performance elements and accompanied by a soundscape\, the artist choreographs a fictional narrative around themes of flux and transformation. \n\nKlára Hosnedlová (b. 1990\, Uherské Hradiště) is a Czech artist based in Berlin whose practice examines historical perception through utopian design and architecture. Responding to specific sites\, she researches experimental projects and past futurisms\, exploring how nostalgia shapes contemporary culture. Drawing on science fiction\, technology and ecological systems\, Hosnedlová creates immersive installations with a tactile\, “futuristic archaeological” atmosphere. Part of the first post-Communist Czech generation\, she is inspired by modernist and Brutalist architecture in Central and Eastern Europe and its intersections with politics\, history and mythology. Her work combines sculpture\, performance\, photography and embroidered panels and has been exhibited internationally\, including at Kunsthalle Basel\, Kestner Gesellschaft and the Lyon Biennale. \nOrgansied by White Cube Berdmonsey. \n\n\nFor more information about the exhibition please visit White Cube Bermondsey website

SUMMARY:EATING ASHES BY BRENDA NAVARRO
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Navarro in conversation with Silvia Quin Rothlisberger\n\n\n\nCervantes Institute of London and Manchester\, in collaboration with the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at Trinity College\, University of Cambridge\, present the tour introducing the English translation of the book Cenizas en la boca – Eating Ashes by author Brenda Navarro. \nBrenda will take part in talks in Manchester\, Cambridge\, and London\, where she will discuss the writing process of her book\, its themes\, and her career as a writer. \nThe London event will be chaired by journalist Silvia Quin Rothlisberger. \nAfter the talk\, copies of the book will be available for purchase. \nSynopsis of Cenizas en la boca \nDiego jumps from a fifth-floor window\, and since then\, that image keeps drilling into his sister’s mind: six seconds and a body crashing to the ground. She is the one who looks back and tells the story of the two siblings. Their arrival into a world where life was never fair. The years they spent in Mexico with their grandparents while their mother tried to make a living in Spain\, and she\, still a child\, was the one who took care of Diego. The stage in Madrid\, a city they didn’t understand and that didn’t understand them either. The first separation\, when she left for Barcelona to make her way and her brother stayed behind in the place he hated most. And her return\, carrying Diego’s ashes\, to a Mexico very different from the one she remembered. \nThis novel narrates the emotional journey of a young woman who senses the reasons behind her teenage brother’s suicide and experiences her own “Ulysses syndrome\,” where neither departure nor return is truly a destination. A story of separations and abandonments\, of longing and rage\, of loss and initiation into life\, in which Brenda Navarro tackles elusive issues such as inequality\, xenophobia\, and uprooting with enormous courage\, confirming her as one of the most powerful and daring voices in contemporary literature. Intense\, visceral\, and devastating\, Cenizas en la boca is a book that burns and poses the painful question of what life is worth living. \nBRENDA NAVARRO is one of the most critically acclaimed authors writing in Spanish. Her first novel\, Casas vacías (Empty Houses)\, won the Tigre Juan Prize. Cenizas en la boca received the Cálamo and CEGAL awards\, as well as the Madrid Booksellers’ Prize\, and was a finalist for the Mario Vargas Llosa Biennial Novel Prize.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: And Then It Fades (Away) 
DESCRIPTION:And Then It Fades (Away) is a new bilingual publication offering a rare insight into contemporary Lithuanian photography. \n\n\n\nBringing together the work of twelve artists\, the publication assembles a fragmentary yet compelling portrait of the contemporary moment; unfolding through personal\, cultural and ecological narratives. Published by Six Chairs Books\, the project foregrounds photography as a dynamic mode of inquiry\, one that responds to and reflects the complexities of our current environment. \n\n\n\nThese ideas will be introduced through a discussion with editors Geistė Marija Kinčinaitytė and Paulius Petraitis\, joined by contributing artist Ona Julija Lukas Steponaitytė and Vytautas Kumža. Moderated by Elaine ML Tam\, the conversation will trace the book’s central themes\, from placelessness and archival thinking to identity\, instability\, and the visual conditions shaping Lithuania’s cultural present. \n\n\n\nImage credits: Pavelas Šalaikiskis.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing Masterclass: How to Write a City
DESCRIPTION:Join writer Elena Medel for a creative writing masterclass focused on cities and the built environment.  \n\n\n\nAbout the workshop:\n\n\n\nA city is made up of avenues and squares\, parks and buildings. Cities are inhabited by people: some live all their lives in the same neighbourhood\, others pass through them every day. And a city is also built by the memory of those streets\, those buildings\, those people. \n\n\n\nOver the course of the day\, Elena will guide you through writing prompts and group feedback sessions to develop your creative writing practice\, drawing on her own research and writing processes. Together you’ll think about the place you live and the lives of the people around you to inspire your poems\, stories or novels. \n\n\n\nThis masterclass is led by award-winning author Elena Medel. Elena was shortlisted for the 2025 Eccles Institute and Hay Festival Global Writers Award. Her book The Wonders was published by Pushkin Press in 2022 and translated by Thomas Bunstead and Lizzie Davis. \n\n\n\nSuitable for beginners. The workshop will be delivered in English. Each participant will receive a copy of Elena’s book\, The Wonders\, at the start of the workshop. Please email adultlearning@bl.uk with your accessibility requirements. \n\n\n\nA vegetarian sandwich lunch is provided. Please email adultlearning@bl.uk with your dietary requirements. \n\n\n\nElena Medel\n\n\n\nElena Medel (1985) is a writer based in Madrid.  \n\n\n\nShe was the first woman ever to win the prestigious Francisco Umbral Prize for her debut novel\, The Wonders (2020)\, which was also longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 2023 and has been translated into fifteen languages. She was shortlisted for The Eccles Institute and the Hay Festival Global Writer’s Award 2025\, and writer-in-residence at MALBA\, Arvo Pärt Centre and Passa Porta.

SUMMARY:Shadow Fate - Theatre Performance for the Day of Hungarian Culture
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the Day of Hungarian Culture\, we warmly invite you to the one-act performance\, Shadow Fate on January 22\, 2026\, at Hungary House\, produced by Klebelsberg Castle Chamber Theatre. \n\nThe drama is based on the diary ‘Our Life Path’ by Sarolta Botka\, wife of Kuno von Klebelsberg. Through her perspective\, the audience can get a glimpse into the daily life of this exceptional politician and his love and marriage\, revealing a tableau of the 20th century’s dramas—from the fall of the Monarchy and Trianon\, through the two world wars\, to communist deportation. Sarolta’s viewpoint illuminates Klebelsberg’s human character and achievements\, while her post-WWII ordeals as a widow highlight the paradoxical cruelty of communism. \nFollowing her successful drama Ilona Zrinyi\, Mária Hedry brings this tumultuous life to the stage: Klebelsberg’s figure and his era’s contradictions take center stage through Sarolta’s lonely fate. The play draws on scholarly research—including works by Gábor Ujvári\, István Bethlen\, and Ignác Romsics—alongside contemporary sources\, enriched by the author’s imagination. \nCount Kuno von Klebelsberg (1875–1932) was a defining cultural politician of interwar Hungary. As Minister of Religion and Public Education (1922–1931)\, he implemented reforms to address Trianon losses: building thousands of rural schools\, modernising universities\, promoting folk education\, and founding overseas cultural institutes (Collegium Hungaricum) for national survival. \nThe 80-minute\, one-act performance will be performed in Hungarian with English subtitles. \n\n\nCast: \n\nSarolta: Edit Majzik\nEmma\, Márta\, Hubayné\, Róza\, peasant woman: Delinke Gajdó\nSzentgyörgyi\, doctor\, German officer\, Russian officer\, Hungarian comrade: Attila Petneházy\n\nSet\, costumes: Katalin Libor\nDirector: Attila Petneházy

SUMMARY:Peter Peri in Conversation with Dávid Fehér - Book launch and display of recent paintings
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Liszt Institute London for an evening celebrating the launch of a new monograph on Peter Peri\, published by Einspach Czapolai Fine Art. \nPeri will be in conversation with Dávid Fehér\, Director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts. Their discussion will explore Peri’s artistic practice\, key themes in his work\, and the ideas shaping his most recent projects\, offering insight into both the newly published monograph and his wider artistic trajectory. \nThe event will also feature a display of Peri’s latest paintings in the gallery\, providing a unique opportunity to experience his practice first-hand alongside the critical perspectives presented in the publication. \nCopies of the book will be available on site. All are welcome to attend\, register via Eventbrite. \n\n\nPeter Peri (b. 1971\, London) \nPeter Peri’s primary media are drawing\, sculpture\, and painting: three distinct bodies of work that are developed independently by the artist to create a complex set of interrelations. All works are specifically invested in the tension between line and volume\, figuration and abstraction\, and in the questioning of tradition and influence in Modernism. \nA graduate of Chelsea College of Art\, he made his debut at Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2003. He has exhibited widely internationally\, including Tate Britain\, the Hayward Gallery\, and Kunsthalle Basel. Peri’s work can be found in the collections of Tate\, the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Budapest. Peri’s work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Peter László Péri (1899–1967)\, a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism. \n\n\nDávid Fehér \nDávid Fehér is an art historian\, director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and assistant professor at the Institute of Art History at the Eötvös Loránd University. His research covers 20th-century and contemporary art\, including Pop Art\, Photorealism\, and related movements. He has curated numerous exhibitions and has published widely in academic journals\, exhibition catalogues\, and art publications. He is a member of the Hungarian Section of the International Association of Art Critics.

SUMMARY:Pixels and Poetics: Sudek\, Funke\, and the Influence of New Technologies on the Development of Photography
DESCRIPTION:Pixels and Poetics: Sudek\, Funke and the Influence of New Technologies on the Development of Photography connects the world of interwar analogue photography with the visual aesthetics of today’s digital age. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to trace how the image has transformed over two centuries—from tangible traces of light to synthetic visual worlds created by artificial intelligence. \nThe exhibition presents iconic works by Josef Sudek and Jaromír Funke\, whose photographs demonstrate how light\, composition\, and atmosphere can transform reality into poetic or constructive visual worlds. These classical approaches are complemented by historical photomontages\, double exposures\, and analogue manipulations\, showing how deeply the desire to reshape the image is established in the tradition of photography. The historical works in the exhibition are drawn from the PPF Art collection\, which plays a key role in preserving and presenting Czech photographic heritage. \nThe contemporary section of the exhibition develops this dialogue through artists working with AI and generative technologies. In her work Your Addiction Is the Message\, Barbora Trnková reveals the mechanisms of visual dependency in the digital environment and the role of technologies in shaping our perceptions. Lenka Hamošová\, in the project Troubling GAN and the series Strange Attractions\, explores both the aesthetics and limitations of neural networks\, showing how algorithms create and reproduce stereotypes or visual hallucinations. A collaborative work by Trnková and Javůrek\, Generation of Princesses\, uses generative models to critically reflect on pop-culture ideals of femininity and their digital reconstruction. The exhibition offers a visually compelling and accessible perspective on how our understanding of the image\, reality\, and the things we are willing to believe when we look\, is changing. \nOrganised by the Czech Centre with the kind support of the PPF Foundation. \nEXHIBITION OPENING\nTuesday 20 January 2026\, 6.30 – 8.30 pm\nFree entry\, REGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pixels-and-poetics-private-view-tickets-1977922480383?aff=oddtdtcreator\nEXHIBITION DATES: 20 January – 13 March 2026\nVENUES & OPENING TIMES \nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10am – 5pm \nBouda Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n132 Palace Gardens Terrace\, Kensington\, London\, W8 4RT\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10am – 5pm \nPublic space outside of the Czech Embassy\, London\n26 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4RT\nAccessible 24/7

SUMMARY:Her Voice: A Celebration of the Women of Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:Following their sold-out performance in 2023\, the Waldstein Trio return to the Hellenic Centre with a powerful programme celebrating the often overlooked\, yet extraordinary legacy of women composers from the 19th century to the present day. \nFrom Clara Schumann to Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli\, this concert traces over 200 years of remarkable creativity\, showcasing the unique and compelling voices of women who composed against the grain of a male-dominated musical tradition. For too long\, their contributions were dismissed\, marginalised\, or forgotten—pushed to the periphery of concert repertoire and historical recognition. \nYet these composers\, through resilience and brilliance\, challenged the barriers set before them. Their works are filled with emotional depth\, originality\, and artistic power. This performance honours their legacy and affirms the importance of restoring women’s rightful place in the classical canon. \nJoin us in celebrating the female creative spirit—through its music\, its resilience\, and its long-overdue recognition.

SUMMARY:Book Presentation & Discussion with Thomas Harding – The Maverick - George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Hella Pick Lecture Series with the Weidenfeld Institute\, University of Sussex\nThe Austrian Cultural Forum invites you to the third event in the Hella Pick Lecture series in cooperation with the Sussex Weidenfeld Institute of Jewish Studies. \nThe evening will feature a book presentation of The Maverick – George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing by renowned author Thomas Harding who will present his remarkable biography of the namesake of the Weidenfeld Institute – famed publisher Lord George Weidenfeld. \nThe presentation will be followed by a discussion with the director of the Weidenfeld Institute\, Professor Gideon Reuvenui. \nThe Sussex Weidenfeld Institute of Jewish Studies\, launched in 2019\, is an interdisciplinary research hub that places the Jewish experience in a broader context. Aimed to act as an agent of change\, their work is focussed on the present and making past experiences relevant in a world increasingly divided by disinformation and prejudice. \nThe Institute is home to the Centre for German-Jewish Studies\, which for over two decades has been at the forefront of academic enquiry into the history\, culture and thought of Jewish refugees from German-speaking lands. The Institute also works with Digital Holocaust Memory and Education Projects and sponsors prestigious Fellowship programmes. \nThomas Harding www.thomasharding.com is a bestselling author whose books have been translated into twenty languages. His publications include Hanns and Rudolf which won the Wingate Prize for Non-Fiction and Blood on the Page which won the Crime Writers’ Association’s Golden Dagger Award for Non-Fiction. His other books have received wide acclaim including The House by the Lake (shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award and extracted in BBC Radio 4’s Book Of The Week)\, Future History (nominated for the German Youth Literature Award ‘Best Youth Book’ and performed by Berlin Youth Ballet) and White Debt (longlisted for the Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing and dramatised on BBC Radio 4). In addition\, his book The Maverick: George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing was chosen as a New York Times Critics’ Pick for 2023. His most recent book\, The Einstein Vendetta\, was published in 2025. \nThomas has written for the Sunday Times\, the Washington Post and the Guardian\, among other publications. In 2024\, he was elected as a visiting fellow of Jesus College Cambridge. For ten years (2014-2024) he was president of the Alexander Haus project outside of Berlin. \nAbout The Maverick \nAfter arriving in London just before World War II as a penniless Austrian-Jewish refugee\, George Weidenfeld went on to transform not only the world of publishing but the culture of ideas. The books that he published include momentous titles such as Lolita\, Double Helix\, The Group and The Hedgehog and the Fox\, with authors he championed ranging from Joan Didion\, Mary McCarthy\, JD Salinger\, Edna O’Brien\,  Henry Miller\, Harold Wilson\, Saul Bellow and Henry Kissinger. His role as publisher brought him into the orbit of influential figures such as George Bush\, Ann Getty\, Donald Trump and LBJ. \nIn this first biography\, Thomas Harding provides a full\, unvarnished\, and at times difficult history of this complex and fascinating character. Throughout his long career\, he was written about in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Time Magazine\, Vanity Fair\, and other publications. Was he\, as described by some\, the “greatest salesperson\,” “the world’s best networker\,” “the publisher’s publisher\,” and “a great intellectual”? Was his lifelong effort to be the world’s most famous host a cover for his loneliness? Who\, in fact\, was the real George Weidenfeld and how did he rise so successfully within the ranks of New York and London society?

SUMMARY:Poem of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Ilhnat Fedorchenko\, a general in the Soviet army\, returns to his native village in Ukraine to find that it is about to be submerged as part of the reservoir for a new power plant that is being built nearby. Though most of the local workforce have left to work at the plant\, Ihnat finds that many of his old acquaintances have also returned to take a final look at the village. \nSolntseva directed Poem of the Sea from a script written by her husband Oleksandr Dovzhenko\, who died just before shooting was to begin. Though Solntseva maintained that her only intention was to fulfil her late husband’s intentions\, the film’s poetic exploration of memory\, transformation and modernity displays a talent for filmmaking that was all her own. Poem of the Sea is one of the classics of Ukrainian cinema.

SUMMARY:Radim Vizvary: Solo
DESCRIPTION:Solo is an award-winning tour de force by Radim Vizváry\, acclaimed Czech mime\, director\, choreographer\, and Artistic Director of Laterna Magica Prague. Hailed internationally\, most recently at Expo Osaka\, this spellbinding performance takes audiences on a journey through the full spectrum of pantomime — from the elegance of classical mime to the raw intensity of butoh\, from razor-sharp physical comedy to the bold invention of contemporary mime theatre. Visually striking\, deeply human\, and at times laugh-out-loud funny\, Solo is both a masterclass in wordless storytelling and pantomime reborn — timeless\, daring\, and unforgettable. \nConcept\, director and starring:: Radim Vizváry\, 90´The performance includes partial nudity 12+ \n2016 Thálie Award in the category of Ballet\, Pantomime\, or Other Dance-Drama Genre for his performance in Sólo.\nABOUT RADIM VIZVÁRYRadim Vizvary is a prominent figure in European contemporary physical mime theatre. He is a mime artist\, author\, stage director\, choreographer\, and teacher. He teaches at the Music and Dance Faculty of Prague’s Academy of Performing Arts. He holds the role of Artistic Director for The Laterna Magika Ensemble\, The Mime Prague Company\, The International Mime Fest\, and the international street festival in Tabor. Vizváry received numerous accolades in the Czech Republic\, various European countries\, and the USA\, including the 2016 Thalia Prize. \n\nVizváry’s “Solo” has become a silent legend\, still receiving standing ovations after years of playing. It shouldn’t be\, since the performer takes constant care of it and continuously modifies the individual performances. “Solo” carries a cross-section of the genre from the days of Jean Gaspard Deburau’s “Pierot” romantic pantomime\, through Marcel Marceau’s modern mime\, clownery\, and contemporary physical theatre and conceptual art… And no other production has yet emerged that has a similar ambition\, to make pantomime non-violently accessible to audiences and to show its wide range. Opera Plus \n\n\nVizváry is undoubtedly the greatest personality of contemporary mime theatre\, encompassing both its present and its classical legacy. protisedi.cz \n\n\nBOOK NOW\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Jewish Music from the Hellenic Region
DESCRIPTION:Cantor Assaf Levitin is joined by pianist Naaman Wagner for an evening of deeply moving and timeless music. This concert journeys through the rich tapestry of Jewish musical heritage\, shaped by the Hellenic world\, ancient mythology\, and the enduring symbolism of the sea as a vessel of connection\, exile\, and return.  \nThe programme interweaves stories of displacement\, memory\, and belonging\, linking ancient voices with modern echoes across the shifting tides of time and culture. Alberto Hemsi’s Coplas Sefardies evoke the Judeo-Spanish heritage of Thessaloniki and Crete. Works by Fauré\, Schubert\, Barber\, and Ireland delve into the mythic and emotional depths of the sea\, conjuring themes of burden\, illusion\, and yearning. Contemporary songs by Yehuda Poliker and Corinne Alal explore memory\, migration\, and post-Holocaust identity with raw emotional power.  \nFrom haunting Sephardic ballads to rock music\, this concert offers a heartfelt musical tribute to the enduring Jewish presence in the Hellenic world.  \nThe event is supported by the Goethe-Institut London
