She arrived in the summer of 1951 to visit her friend and fellow artist from her days at the Slade School of Art\, Elektra Megaw (1907 – 1993) and her husband Peter\, the then Director of the Department of Antiquities.     \n\nIn this performance\, Economou attempts a parallel journey in search of sacred landscapes and the divine feminine\, across the terrain of the island of Cyprus\, trying to map out the journey and possible places Megaw and Colquhoun could have visited.  \n\nThe performance is built on seven imaginary letters written by Arianna Economou addressed to Elektra Megaw\, where she accounts the experiences\, memories and reflections\, that came up during her visits to Cyprus\, in relation to the bigger oeuvre of Colquhoun.  \n\nEconomou met Elektra Megaw through their common friend\, ceramicist Lionel Miskin. \n\nThe performance is inspired by the artworks Colquhoun made with Cyprus as stimulus.  \n\nDirection / Choreography / Performer: Arianna Economou  \n\nMusic: Giorgos Bizios  \n\nVisuals / Scenic Design/ performer: Charis Iacovou   \n\nVideo Art Film: Artemis Evlogimenou    \n\nArianna Economou wishes to thank Jacqui MacIntosh for her inspiring talk at NIMAC\, Elena Parpa and Ruth Keshishian\, for their valuable assistance with research material on Ithell Colquhoun.  \n\nProduction: Echo Arts / Culture 2024 / Deputy Ministry of Culture   \nTickets\n\n\n£12/10 concession\nBooking via Eventbrite or 020 7487 5060 URL:https://euniclondon.org/event/my-dear-elektra-by-arianna-economou/ LOCATION:The Hellenic Centre\, 16-18 Paddington St \, London\, W1U 5AS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Theatre & Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://euniclondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hellenic Centre":MAILTO:info@helleniccentre.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250613T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250613T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164945 CREATED:20250508T151059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T151102Z UID:10005327-1749837600-1749844800@euniclondon.org SUMMARY:Voices for Freedom: An Evening with Oleksandra Matviichuk DESCRIPTION:Join Oleksandra Matviichuk\, winner of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize\, for a charity event supporting war-affected communities in Ukraine. \nOleksandra Matviichuk\, has been a major figure in the fight for Ukraine’s survival. And she has given a voice to the victims of the conflict : the Center for Civil Liberties\, which she runs\, has tirelessly recorded the mass atrocities committed by Russia\, the daily war crimes on the battlefield\, the harrowing treatment of captives and the illegal abduction and reprogramming of children to reject their native language and culture. \nAs the pressure mounts on Ukraine to accept a ceasefire on any terms\, her greatest fear is that a peace defined in narrow\, territorial terms will achieve nothing. A robust peace is one that is built on the premises that Russia will not stop seeking the destruction of Ukraine through other means. She will explain that beyond security guarantees\, peace cannot be achieved without justice for the victims\, without the return of captives and children and without reparations to rebuild Ukraine. \nOrganised for charitable purposes\, this event is being held in partnership with the Insulate Ukraine association\, an innovative initiative that works to rehabilitate homes damaged by the bombardments. Half of all ticket proceeds will support their efforts\, with a dedicated fundraiser also taking place during the evening.

Initially attracted by the prospect of recording the outstanding byzantine frescoes of the local churches\, Donat soon also turned his attention to the landscape and the towns’ streetscape. He became fascinated by all aspects of life on the island\, from the many traditional crafts to the religious festivities. It is indeed in Crete that he started to explore the theme that would become the leitmotif of his work\, the relationship between buildings and the people who inhabit them. Donat was to become one of the foremost British architectural photographers of his generation by capturing the built environment with a social documentary\, almost photojournalistic approach. He always valued his experience in Crete and\, many years later\, he managed to publish his beautiful images of the island in the book Crete 1960 (Crete University Press\, 1999) and display them at the Hellenic Centre in The Real Crete exhibition (2001). \n\nValeria Carullo\, Photographs Curator at the Royal Institute of British Architects\, presents Donat’s work. Q&A will follow the presentation.  \nTickets: £3/2 concession\, free for Members\n\n\nBooking required via Eventbrite\n or 020 7487 5060 URL:https://euniclondon.org/event/photographer-john-donat-in-1960s-crete/ LOCATION:The Hellenic Centre\, 16-18 Paddington St \, London\, W1U 5AS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://euniclondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/RIBA59058-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hellenic Centre":MAILTO:info@helleniccentre.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250612T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250612T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164945 CREATED:20250610T204755Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250610T204756Z UID:10005346-1749754800-1749760200@euniclondon.org SUMMARY:The Double Bass DESCRIPTION:‘You can have an orchestra without a first violin\, without wind instruments\, without brass\, without a timpani\, but you can’t have an orchestra without a double bass.’\n\nIn Patrick Süskind’s much-loved one-act play ‘The Double Bass’ (Der Kontrabaß)\, the playwright portrays a life gone wrong with humour and irony\, interpreted by actor Viktor Klem.\n\nThe Double Bass (Der Kontrabaß) is a direct conversation between musician and spectator. The double bass player is honest about his life\, his love\, his relationship with music and society\, his weaknesses\, and even plays on his instrument in between his monologues.  The musician protagonist believes his instrument to be the most important in an orchestra\, even though one couldn’t tell. Throughout his solitary reflections\, it becomes clear that he\, in fact\, hates his double bass and that the instrument itself is the main cause of all his frustrations. The question is whether he can change his life and finally get the attention of his secretly adored young soprano singer.\n\n‘The protagonist of the original work is exactly twice my age. But the questions and problems he raises are as much for a young man of today as for an experienced musician about to retire…’ /Viktor Klem/\n\nRuntime: 1 hour 10 minutes\, without intermission.\n\nPerformed in Hungarian with English subtitles.

Her focus lies in the digitisation of cultural heritage and the simulation of civilisational dynamics. Having spent much of her career in the UK and the USA tech sectors\, Polak is passionate about connecting modern technologies with the humanities. She has been named on Forbes’ 30 Under 30\, was recognised as a Top Innovator (2022)\, and received the Business Revolution Award from the UK Department for International Trade. She believes that only through education and interdisciplinary collaboration can humanity fulfil its potential — and perhaps one day survive on Mars. She explores these ideas through the Civilisational Resilience think tank\, which she co-founded.\n\nIn her talk Archaeology and AI: the last hope for our survival?\, Sara Polak will explore how civilisational resilience — the ability of societies to endure\, adapt\, and thrive through both crises and everyday pressures — increasingly depends on the synergy between technology and the humanities. She will examine how artificial intelligence and archaeology can enrich our understanding of past societies and offer strategies for a more sustainable future. By combining AI-driven archaeological research with humanistic insight\, we can preserve cultural heritage\, learn from historical adaptations\, and help shape ethical\, resilient technologies for generations to come.\n\nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBook Here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-in-focus-sara-polak-tickets-1372620447709?aff=oddtdtcreator URL:https://euniclondon.org/event/women-in-focus-sara-polak/ LOCATION:Czech Centre at the Czech Embassy Cinema\, 26 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, Select a State\, W8 4QY\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://euniclondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/women-in-focus-1x1-sara-polak.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Czech Centre":MAILTO:blues@czechcentre.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250608T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250608T201500 DTSTAMP:20260423T164945 CREATED:20250519T180451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250519T180452Z UID:10005306-1749409200-1749413700@euniclondon.org SUMMARY:Esprit Submergé by Page Blanche DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the the world premiere of Esprit Submergé\, a boundary-crossing exploration of musical influence and reinvention by British composer Luke Styles and the innovative string quartet Page Blanche – supported by the Diaphonique fund for contemporary music run by the French Institute.\n\nBlending the jazz elegance of Bill Evans with the rich textures of Debussy\, Bach\, Ravel\, and Poulenc\, this programme brings together eras\, genres\, and cultures in a spellbinding dialogue.

Reviving the precious music of Santourovioli\, the combination of violin\, santur and guitar\, this evening will introduce you to the early rebetiko music of Asia Minor. \n\nDuring the great population movement in the southern Balkans in the early 20th century\, seminal artists from Constantinople\, Smyrna and the coasts of Asia Minor settled on the Greek islands and ports. Among them\, great music masters such as Dimitris Semsis (Salonikios) and Ioannis Dragatsis (Ogdontakis) came to Greece\, bringing along their sound and becoming leading figures in the local music scene.  \n\nTheir captivating performances and recordings made them legendary figures in the history of world music. The main instruments in Early Rebetika are violin\, santur\, guitar\, kanun\, oud and tampoura. Santurovioli is a minimal combination of violin\, santur and guitar. These three form an impressively functional musical system where the microtonal use of the violin shines brightly in the rich harmonics of the santur over a solid bass-guitar rhythmical background. Today\, there are only a few grand masters in the genre and Kyriakos Gouventas is considered the leading figure worldwide. \n\nCo–organised with Rebetiko Carnival.\n\nTickets: £16/12 concession or £20 at the door | Booking via Ticket Tailor\nor 020 7487 5060 URL:https://euniclondon.org/event/the-music-of-asia-minor-presenting-violin-legends-semsis-ogdontakis/ LOCATION:The Hellenic Centre\, 16-18 Paddington St \, London\, W1U 5AS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://euniclondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_2611.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hellenic Centre":MAILTO:info@helleniccentre.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250605T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250605T210000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164945 CREATED:20250508T205750Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T205751Z UID:10005288-1749150000-1749157200@euniclondon.org SUMMARY:Greece’s Gender Divide: Unmasking the Crisis of Femicides DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with an all-female panel of academics from the UK and Greece discussing the gender divide and femicides in Greece.

Almost fifty women and girls from eleven nations were drafted into a hurriedly assembled band that would play marching music to other inmates\, forced labourers who left each morning and returned\, exhausted and often broken\, at the end of the day. While still living amid the most brutal and dehumanising of circumstances\, they were also made to give weekly concerts for Nazi officers\, and individual members were sometimes summoned to give solo performances of an officer’s favourite piece of music. It was the only entirely female orchestra in any of the Nazi prison camps and\, for almost all of the musicians chosen to take part\, being in the orchestra saved their lives. What role could music play in a death camp? What was the effect on those women who owed their survival to their participation in a Nazi propaganda project? And how did it feel to be forced to provide solace to the perpetrators of a genocide that claimed the lives of their family and friends? \nFrom Alma Rosé\, the orchestra’s main conductor\, niece of Gustav Mahler and a formidable pre-war celebrity violinist\, to Anita Lasker-Wallfisch\, its teenage cellist and last surviving member\, Sebba draws on meticulous archival research and exclusive first-hand accounts to tell the full and astonishing story of the orchestra\, its members and the response of other prisoners for the first time. \nAnne Sebba is a historian and an award-winning biographer who began her career as a Reuters correspondent based in London and Rome. She has written eleven works of non-fiction\, mostly about iconic 20th century women\, translated into a variety of languages including French\, Polish\, Czech\, Japanese and Chinese\, makes regular television and radio appearances and has presented two BBC radio documentaries about musicians. She is the author of the international bestseller That Woman\, an acclaimed biography of Wallis Simpson\, Duchess of Windsor\, and the prize-winning Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived\, Loved and Died Under Nazi Occupation. Her most recent book was Ethel Rosenberg\, the Short Life and Great Betrayal of an American Wife and Mother\, shortlisted for the Wingate award. Anne is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature\, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research and trustee of the National Archives Trust. \nRosie Goldsmith is an award-winning journalist specializing in arts and foreign affairs.

With Nicosia remaining Europe’s last divided capital\, the documentary explores the aftermath of the 1974 conflict\, which left the North predominantly inhabited by Turkish Cypriots and the South by Greek Cypriots. After 50 years of stalled negotiations\, the question remains: will the island ever reunite?  \nAmid the ongoing wars against Ukraine and Palestine\, the frozen divide in Cyprus has often been forgotten. The Divided Island challenges the hostile narratives commonly seen in mainstream media\, instead seeking the truth through deeply personal interviews with those whose lives\, homes\, and country were torn apart\, alongside the voices of young Cypriots yearning for  reconciliation.  \nThis debut feature documentary is directed by Turkish Cypriot Cey Sesiguzel and co-produced by Greek Cypriot Andreas Tokkallos\, the founders of the award-winning London-based production company\, Two Fresh Productions. By offering a nuanced and unbiased understanding of the Cyprus issue\, The Divided Island fosters a narrative of hope for a peaceful future and a resolution to the ‘Cyprus problem.’  \nDirector: Cey Sesiguzel  \nProducer: Andreas Tokkallos  \nRunning Time:  90 Minutes  \nCert: 15  \nThe Q&A will be hosted by BFI Digital Production Editor and Film Programmer Georgia Korossi.  \nTickets\n\n£6/4 concession\nBooking required via Eventbrite or 020 7487 5060 URL:https://euniclondon.org/event/the-divided-island-screening-and-qa/ LOCATION:The Hellenic Centre London\, 18\, 16 Paddington St\, ONLINE\, W1U 5AS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://euniclondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/The-Divided-Island_web_01-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="The Hellenic Centre":MAILTO:info@helleniccentre.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
