Ivan Kupala Night is a midsummer celebration of sun and summer in Ukraine. Join us to enjoy a performance by the Malva Voice for Ukraine community choir and immerse yourself in Ukrainian folk songs within the magical setting of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
This is a pop-up concert, so you don’t need to book tickets in advance, just show up at the Museum on the day. Donations will be invited to support the work of Ukrainian paramedics through Hospitaller Ukraine Aid, or to Malva Voice for Ukraine themselves to help with the development of their community choir.
Join us for the second of our after-hours film screenings of queer films. Lose yourself in immersive vulgar Latin with our screening of Derek Jarman’s Sebastiane (1976), a film which frames a loose retelling of the story of a Christian saint within an explicitly homoerotic gaze.
Dr Victoria Avery, curator of our Rise Up exhibition, shares her fascinating new research alongside violin performances by Nicole Cherry, the Assistant Professor of Violin from University of Texas at San Antonio and founder of the ForgewithGeorge project which commissions new violin compositions inspired by Bridgetower.
Curated by historian of abolitionist ideas, Nathaniel Adam Tobias Coleman, this unique programme of short films showcases highlights from the University of Birmingham’s groundbreaking conference, last year, Undoing 2007; Preparing for 2038.
Challenging familiar, but misleading, narratives of 'abolition’, the rigorous presentations and surprising conversations archived in these fifteen short films consider how communities can commemorate freedom-fighting, resistance, and abolition by harnessing reparative histories
Grab a glass of wine and engage in an evening of unconventional conversation where we will celebrate the body, both sculpted and flesh-and-blood.
What is the place of our body when we enter a museum? How can we find space amongst a roll-call of sculpted perfection for our own embodiment, however messy and real? Choreographer Sivan Rubenstein’s dance performance will foreground the mother’s growing body in transformation, while Caroline Vout and Sarah Fine bring academic and philosophical discourse back to the body.
