Featured Events in Ealing in November, 2024 (June Updated)

We are delighted to invite our members to an exclusive Curator’s tour of Language of the Physical: Katherine Gili Sculpture. This exhibition brings together a range of sculptures by Katherine Gili, spanning four decades, from 1980 to 2022. Gili’s practice is rooted in a deeply physical engagement with materials—particularly steel, heavy-duty paper, and paper clay—and her work has steadily gained recognition in recent years. Most notably, her sculpture Vertical IV (1975) was recently displayed for the first time at Tate Britain as part of their ongoing collection display, Modern and Contemporary British Art (1965–1980), highlighting Gili’s significant contribution to British sculpture.

Join us for a celebration of the second installment of Tamara von Werthern's popular detective series, SILENT NIGHT, which has now been translated by her into English. This is a follow up to Only the Lonely, which was originally published in German in 2017, and places her eccentric real-life father in the middle of a spoof crime novel. In SILENT NIGHT, Philipp makes an unexpected discovery when a lorry crashes outside his house in the middle of the night, which draws him into a new and perilous investigation. Soon he’s on the trail of a master criminal, along with his canine sidekick Maschka and Police Sergeant Nadja Bernstein, who has her own demons to fight. With his family about to arrive for Christmas, will he solve the case in time… or is he on the wrong trail altogether? There will be a reading from the book as well as an opportunity to have your copies signed by the author as well as her father, the inspiration behind Detective Philipp. Drinks and refreshments will be provided. Both books are available to purchase at the event, or you can pre-order it from Pages of Hackney: https://www.pagesofhackney.co.uk/webshop/product/silent-night/ Venue: Queen Mary University of London, David Sizer Lecture Theatre, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS Information Source: Tamara von Werthern | eventbrite

This lady was also the inspiration for Miss Marple. She, and Agatha’s parents and sister were buried in Ealing Cemetery. Ealing and Hanwell are mentioned in several of Agatha’s stories and in one Poirot even visits Ealing. Finally David Suchet who played Poirot once lived in the borough as does another leading actor from the TV series. Information Source: Ealing Libraries | eventbrite
