This talk will survey the work of American photographer Helen Levitt, who is best known for her depictions of working-class children on the streets of New York City c.1940. Rather than consider her work within polarised social attitudes towards children as either innocent or primal, this talk argues that Levitt’s representation of the relationship between childhood and the street must be understood through her concerns with editing, movement, and public life. Understanding Levitt’s work in relation to aggregation and sequence, rather than through the dominant lens of primitivism, romanticism and the private subject allows for a historic reappraisal of an American modernism that has largely fallen out of sight.

Being a performer takes heart, grit, and relentless determination—and we're here to support you on that journey! Walk & Talk is anew FREE monthly Saturday stroll in a London park for actors. Once a month we’ll gather in a different London green space for a 90-minute Saturday morning walk, ending in a cosy local pub or café. It will be a relaxed and agenda-free space to share experiences, gain insights and connect with fellow performers. Think of it as a stroll with friends in the park; nothing more, nothing less. Plus, we’re family-friendly! Feel free to bring along your babies, children and dogs! We welcome all who want to be part of this nurturing and supportive environment. This walk starts at Gospel Oak Overground station and will take us across Hampstead Heath taking in Parliament Hill View Point where you get a great view of the city of London. We will finish at Spaniard Inn (on the other side of the heath). Who are Actors+Co? Meet Bea and Nicole, otherwise known as Actors+Co. One is a life coach and yoga teacher, the other is an acting coach and parent performer. We're passionate about creating welcoming, and non-judgmental space for professional actors to connect, share, and be heard. Our goal is to foster a network of actors who uplift one another. As Brené Brown says, ‘The two most powerful words when we're in struggle are 'Me, too.’ We echo that sentiment by creating an environment where vulnerability meets empowerment, the impossible becomes possible, and personal growth and courage can flourish.

“The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”What was Orwell’s final warning? On the 75th anniversary of George Orwell’s death, join D. J. Taylor, Sandra Newman and Jeffrey Wasserstrom to discuss the afterlife of Orwell’s final novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. ----------------- Are all interpretations of Nineteen Eighty-Four equal? Published just months before Orwell’s death, Nineteen Eighty-Four immediately sparked debate about its meaning. Was it a warning? A prophecy? Who or what was its target? When reviewers began interpreting the novel as an attack on the British Labour Party in particular, Orwell and his publishers felt compelled to issue a statement to the press clarifying his own beliefs. He was, he said, a supporter of the government, but he had set the novel in Britain because he wanted to show that “the seeds of totalitarian thought” could be found anywhere. When Orwell died just six months later, the statement took on the status of a deathbed appeal. However, despite Orwell’s best efforts, Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to be claimed by readers across the political spectrum and is increasingly wielded in support of extreme views, especially on social media. How have we got here? And will we ever be able to see the man beneath the myth? Information Source: The Orwell Foundation | eventbrite

This event marks the launch of The Routledge Companion to the Sound of Space (Routledge, 2024) by Emma-Kate Matthews Architect, Composer and Director of Fabrication and Design Collaboration, The Bartlett School of Architecture, Prof. Jane Burry, Architect and Dean of Adelaide University, and Prof. Mark Burry, Architect and Foundation Director of Swinburne University of Technology’s Smart Cities Research Institute. This edited volume explores conceptual and practical relationships between sound and space across disciplines, offering insights from technical, creative, cultural, political, philosophical, psychological, and physiological perspectives. Its chapters traverse spatial typologies—from reverberant buildings to intimate interiors, natural environments, and highly engineered spaces—revealing the many ways that sonic and spatial realms intersect. By bridging technology, philosophy, composition, and design, this volume encourages practitioners, scholars, and enthusiasts to adopt fresh perspectives and methodologies. Blending theory, practice, and reflection, it is an essential resource for anyone fascinated by the complex interplay of sound and space, from architecture and engineering to urban and product design.

In partnership with Ed Video, the Art Gallery of Guelph invites you to an engaging evening featuring a screening of Susan Mogul’s 1997 film, I Stare at You and Dream, currently showcased alongside a collection of over 80 quillboxes in the exhibition Do You Remember Love. The film highlights the intersecting lives of four individuals, following the intertwining familial and romantic relationships that explore how personal history shapes the present, inviting us to consider questions of identity, family dynamics, and the search for a sense of home. Event Highlights Candid Corner Pop-Up: At 6:30 pm, participate in Ed Video’s interactive video recording station where you can share your thoughts and reflections on relationships, relationality, and family, themes inspired by the film. Film Screening: Stay at 7:30 pm to watch Mogul’s intimate exploration of the lives of four individuals over six months. Before the screening, program facilitators will prompt participants with thought-provoking questions about relationships, interpersonal connections, and family ties. Step up to the mic in the Candid Corner booth and contribute your voice to a live, collaborative video project. Your reflections will be edited in real-time into a short film, which will be presented at the end of the evening as a collective community response to I Stare at You and Dream. Participation in the Candid Corner program is optional, and all are welcome. Please note: This event is recommended for adults. Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Susan Mogul’s film contains mature themes and conversations. Registration is appreciated but not required. Seating and space are limited, so early arrival is encouraged. ________________________________________________________ Filmed in Mogul’s Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles, a predominantly working-class Latino area, I Stare at You and Dream follows the intersecting lives of four individuals: Mogul herself; her friend, Rosie Sanchez; Rosie’s teenage daughter, Alejandra (Alex) Sanchez; and Ray Aguilar, Mogul’s on-and-off boyfriend. Susan Mogul has been involved with video since the early 1970s, creating a foundational body of humorous and staunchly feminist performance videos before expanding into experimental narratives, including feature-length work. Her numerous accolades include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and an ITVS commission. Her work has been showcased internationally, with a survey of her videos held at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna in 2024, and her first solo museum exhibition at the Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw in 2022. Other notable exhibitions include California Video at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles: Birth of an Art Capital at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Where Art Might Happen: The Early Years of CalArts at the Kunsthaus Graz. Mogul’s work has also been discussed in X-TRA (2020), where “A Feminist’s Survival Index” reviews her current work within the context of feminist art history. Her career and contributions are further explored in Women of Vision: Histories in Feminist Film and Video, where a chapter is devoted to her impactful legacy.
