Kettle’s Yard is pleased to present Untitled: art on the conditions of our time. This exhibition brings together work by 10 British African diaspora artists with a focus on how their innovative practices ask important questions about some of the most important cultural and political issues of our turbulent times.
Join Untitled artists Barby Asante, Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom, Phoebe Boswell and Kimathi Donkor for an online panel discussion around the key conditions of our time that the artists are looking at right now. The discussion will be chaired by exhibition curator Paul Goodwin.
Gold of The Great Steppe will display an archaeological sensation. Hundreds of outstanding 2,700 year old gold artefacts recently discovered in the extraordinary ancient burial mounds built by the Saka people in East Kazakhstan will be exhibited for the first time in the UK.

Soon after the Greek Revolution, the Acropolis was cleared of its Medieval buildings. Byzantine icons too were shunned, even in University Museum collections. This lecture touches on icons in the Fitzwilliam but focuses on the fate of one icon in the Yale University Art Museum, acquired in 1871, but hidden in its storeroom until now.
Join Fitzwilliam Museum Curator, Helen Ritchie, for a brief introduction (approx. 30 minutes) to Magdalene Odundo in Cambridge. Curated by ceramic artist Magdalene Odundo DBE, this display marks 50 years since Odundo moved from Kenya to Cambridge to study at Cambridge School of Art and brings together a selection of global collections from Cambridge collections with examples of her own unmistakeable work.
Join us online for a conversation between ceramic artist Magdalene Odundo DBE and organising Curator, Helen Ritchie, who will discuss Magdalene Odundo in Cambridge.
Join Rebecca Roberts, Curator of Gold of the Great Steppe, for a spotlight talk in the 'Gold of the Great Steppe' exhibition, introducing key themes and highlight objects.
As we take in the splendour and beauty of the gold artefacts from the Great Steppe, we can’t help but wonder about their prehistoric makers and users: Where did they obtain the precious metal? What tools and techniques did they employ to turn it into the elaborate artefacts we admire today? How did they learn their skills? Were these objects used in life, or made for the dead? Scientific analyses provide some answers but also raise new questions.
Drawing from our rich holdings of paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculpture, ‘Women: makers and muses’ is the first display in an on-going series highlighting work by women throughout the history of art and from across the globe. A series of films made in response to the display in which curators offer further thoughts on featured artworks will be followed by a Q&A with Jane Munro and Rebecca Birrell.
