SUMMARY:Breaking Ground
DESCRIPTION:Breaking Ground Exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Image: Watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\nFrom the first-ever scientific description of a dinosaur to the revelation that Earth is much older than the Biblical 6\,000 years\, the 19th century saw a network of naturalists forge new ways of thinking about the history of life and our planet. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground is a new exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History that charts these significant developments in palaeontology and geology through a cast of characters – both the celebrated and the unsung – who helped to establish new scientific methods and ideas. \n\n\n\nCentred on an Oxford couple – William Buckland\, geologist and palaeontologist\, and Mary Buckland (née Morland)\, a scientific illustrator\, it explores some of the most historically important dinosaur discoveries ever made. \n\n\n\nMarking the 200th anniversary of the first description of a dinosaur\, Breaking Ground presents fossil material from the first three dinosaurs to be scientifically named – Megalosaurus\, Iguanodon\, and Hylaeosaurus\, including the iconic jaw that started it all. \n\n\n\nAlongside these historic specimens are more than 100 other objects\, including fossils\, skeletons\, casts\, and models. There is also archival material such as lithograph prints and watercolour paintings beautifully documenting the fieldwork\, landscapes\, and discoveries made during this fertile period of early palaeontology. \n\n\n\nWhile celebrating these important scientific developments\, Breaking Ground also investigates some inequalities of the period. William and Mary Buckland were married in 1825 and worked together to lay the foundations of modern palaeontology\, though history tends to remember their contributions differently. \n\n\n\nFamiliar names from 19th-century palaeontology are typically those of powerful people associated with certain institutions and publications; lost to history are workers in other\, often colonised\, countries who dug for specimens\, lower-status miners and quarriers around the UK\, and most women\, regardless of class or wealth. \n\n\n\nThese include Mary Anning\, who\, though more recently celebrated\, faced financial struggles for most of her life and\, as a woman\, was unable to join the Geological Society of London or present her own ideas. This is despite making some of the most important fossil discoveries of the century\, several of which will be on display in the exhibition. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground will also offer the first showcase of items from the newly acquired Buckland archive. The drawings\, prints and paintings made by Mary Buckland include those used in the description of Megalosaurus by William Buckland in 1824. \n\n\n\nAs these illustrations helped to spread understanding of extinct groups of animals and plants among the 19th-century scientific community\, they challenged any literal interpretations of the Bible. A much older planet was revealed\, one that had undergone periods of glaciation – a controversial idea at the time – and in which hyaenas once populated the caves of Britain. \n\n\n\nComplementing the exhibition is a sculptural installation by British artist Angela Palmer. Torus of Time is a visual and tactile symbol of the deep time that was being uncovered by these pioneering 19th-century palaeontologists. An elegant ring of 16 quarry stones drawn from across the United Kingdom\, the piece represents three billion years of geological time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Entry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed. No booking required.Booking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day. \n\n\n\nOpening hours:Monday to Sunday from 10.00am to 5.00pmLast entry at 4.45pmClosed on 24\, 25\, & 26 DecemberAccessibility:Please contact the friendly team at the museum by telephone (01865 272 950) or email (foh@oum.ox.ac.uk) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand with captions \n\n\n\n\nCave Hyaena Jaw. This hyaena jaw was found by William Buckland in Kirkdale cave in North Yorkshire in the 1820s. He initially thought the fossil showed evidence of the Great Flood having transported the animal to England. However\, further analysis showed the cave to have been a hyaena den from the Late Pleistocene\, 120\,000 years ago\, when Yorkshire would have been a lot warmer.\n\n\n\nHippopotamus. This watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\, is marked ‘MM’ – one of the few drawings signed with Mary’s maiden name. Morland was a gifted scientific illustrator whose drawings were used in scientific publications for William Buckland and others including Georges Cuvier.\n\n\n\nIchthyosaur with stomach contents. Exceptionally preserved\, this is one of Mary Anning’s finds of an ichthyosaur. Fish bones and scales\, visible inside the stomach area of the animal\, reveal the last meal of this marine reptile.\n\n\n\nMegalosaurus Jaw. This is the iconic fossilised jaw of Megalosaurus\, found in Stonesfield\, Oxfordshire\, and was used by William Buckland in the first ever scientific description of a dinosaur\, in 1824.\n\n\n\nProfessor and Mrs. Buckland and Frank. This silhouette of the Bucklands\, created by Auguste Edouart in 1829\, celebrates how the whole family was involved in the study of palaeontology.\n\n\n\nSynoptic view of the leading phenomena of Geology. The first plate in William Buckland’s Bridgewater Treatise VI: Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology. The Bridgewater Treatises was a series of eight volumes highlighting how science and faith could coexist. Buckland’s contribution argued that geology and palaeontology were consistent with the Bible and natural theology.

SUMMARY:Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong contemporaries
DESCRIPTION:Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries. Images (left to right): Everlasting 2/50\, Cheung Yee\, 1977\, red relief on cast paper. Family\, Cheung Yee\, 1960-1969. Chan Painting\, Lui Shou-Kwan\, 1969.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries\n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases newly-acquired works for the Ashmolean by the Hong Kong artist Cheung Yee (1936–2019). It will be the first substantial display of his work outside Hong Kong\, including sculpture and works on paper. \n\n\n\nCheung Yee was a leading figure of innovation in the Hong Kong art scene\, especially during the 1960s\, when the city established its own identity as an artistic centre. \n\n\n\nHis work will be shown alongside those by Lui Shou-Kwan (1919–75)\, Wucius Wong (b.1936)\, Liu Kuo-sung (b.1932) and others from the avant-garde Circle Art Group. \n\n\n\nDisplayed with his peers\, the works highlight Cheung Yee’s connection with a generation of modern art pioneers from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the latter 20th century. \n\n\n\nAlthough Cheung Yee is mainly known as a sculptor\, the Ashmolean exhibition will include some outstanding examples of his experiments with works on paper. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Admission is FREE \n\n\n\nDate and times:From 30 November 2024 to 09 November 2025 \n\n\n\nThe museum is open every day from 10.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:Gallery 11\, ground floor

SUMMARY:Blood Wedding
DESCRIPTION:Blood Wedding\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Blood Wedding\n\n\n\nPresented by University of Oxford student company Full Moon Theatre \n\n\n\nWritten by Federico García Lorca \n\n\n\nIn a new translation by Emma Nihill Alcorta \n\n\n\nA blade sharpened. A bride wedded. A blood-feud unleashed. \n\n\n\nUnder the burning Andalusian sun\, a woman is set to marry a man she does not love. Tables are laid\, vows are spoken\, and the woman condemns herself to a traditional life walled inside a house of stone. But another man has been riding to her window in the dead of night\, calling her name on the wind\, and she begins to wonder if the burden of tradition might be too heavy to bear. If passion drove you mad\, would you risk it all? \n\n\n\nWritten in the summer of 1932\, Lorca’s acclaimed rural tragedy is a story of arid land and tough people\, where societal expectations are rigidly defined and hidden yearnings simmer under the surface of convention.

DESCRIPTION:Isabel Fishlock: Dreamlands\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Isabel Fishlock: Dreamlands\n\n\n\nIsabel Fishlock’s latest exhibition\, Dreamlands\, is a vibrant showcase of new works that captivate the viewer with their bold energy and dreamlike quality. The collection features a stunning range of paintings\, varying in scale\, that draw you into a world brimming with colour.

The landscapes she creates are ethereal\, almost otherworldly\, transporting the viewer to tranquil yet surreal spaces.  \n\n\n\nBold graphic florals are at the heart of the exhibition\, their striking patterns and vibrant palettes commanding attention. These works are full of life\, bringing a sense of freshness and vitality to the space.  \n\n\n\nThis marks Isabel’s first exhibition in Oxford\, following her sold-out show in London. A graduate of Central Saint Martins School of Art\, Isabel spent 10 years painting and designing prints for leading luxury fashion brands including Dior and Paul Smith before focusing on her fine art career.  \n\n\n\nFor the past five years\, she has dedicated herself to painting\, now bringing her distinctive vision to Oxford with works that exist in a world just beyond our own\, where reality blurs and colour takes centre stage.

SUMMARY:Music at Oxford: Fretwork My Days – A Celebration of Orlando Gibbons
DESCRIPTION:Music at Oxford: Fretwork My Days – A Celebration of Orlando Gibbons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Music at Oxford: Fretwork My Days – A Celebration of Orlando Gibbons\n\n\n\nPioneering viol consort Fretwork is joined by the cream of British singing talent for a celebration of the astonishingly rich music of composer Orlando Gibbons. \n\n\n\nThe concert includes two of his great anthems\, some of his greatest consort music – possibly the finest chamber music ever composed in England – his moving tribute to Prince Henry\, and the riotous and irreverent Cries of London. A vocal and instrumental tour de force\, where street traders shout out news of their wares\, and we can buy fish\, apple pies\, chestnuts\, cabbage\, ink\, oysters\, waistcoats; even a poking stick with a dubious handle…  \n\n\n\nAll of Jacobean life\, packed into a few minutes. Bringing the celebration up to date is a piece by acclaimed composer Nico Muhly. With its hazy harmony and unexpected twists\, it is a fitting tribute to Gibbons and the Elizabethan and Tudor musical tradition. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, Fretwork celebrated 35 years of performing music old and new\, and looks forward to a challenging and exciting future as the world’s leading consort of viols. \n\n\n\nIn these last three and a half decades\, they have explored the core repertory of great English consort music\, from Taverner to Purcell\, and made classic recordings against which others are judged.  \n\n\n\nTheir series of discs for Virgin Classics included CDs devoted to William Lawes\, Henry Purcell\, William Byrd\, Matthew Locke\, John Dowland and Orlando Gibbons; while their more recent work for Harmonia Mundi USA has produced three discs of J.S.Bach — The Art of Fugue\, Alio Modo and The Goldberg Variations — which have been exuberantly praised; and discs of the earliest instrumental music (Petrucci); Sir John Tavener’s The Hidden Face; Thomas Tomkins; Alexander Agricola & Fabrice Fitch; Ludwig Senfl with Charles Daniels and two collaborations with the choir of Magdalen College\, Oxford.  \n\n\n\nTheir recording of concert songs by William Byrd with Emma Kirkby has received particular praise. \n\n\n\nIn addition to this\, Fretwork have become known as pioneers of contemporary music for viols\, having commissioned over 40 new works. The list of composers is like the role call of the most prominent writers of our time: George Benjamin\, Michael Nyman\, Sir John Tavener\, Gavin Bryars\, Elvis Costello\, Nico Muhly\, John Woolrich\, Orlando Gough\, Sally Beamish\, Tan Dun\, Barry Guy\, Thea Musgrave – to name but a few. \n\n\n\nThe group now frequently presents programmes consisting entirely of contemporary music\, though most audiences find that the creative tension of juxtaposing old and new leads to a thrilling experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFull Price: £29.00 – £45.00    \n\n\n\nConcession: £14.50 – £22.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 07 June 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note that Jeremy Budd has been replaced by Simon Wall in this performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout SJE Arts Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSJE Arts Oxford is a concert venue and arts organisation based at St John the Evangelist Church on Iffley Road\, Oxford. \n\n\n\nThe church itself was built in the 19th century as part of a monastery established by the Cowley Fathers\, an Anglican religious community.

He has won awards for his books\, his comedy\, and his science communication. If you have never seen him before\, expect fireworks and undiluted passion.   \n\n\n\nAbout Robin Ince  \n\n\n\nRobin Ince is many things. A comedian\, an author\, a broadcaster\, and a populariser of scientific ideas. The Guardian once declared him a ‘becardiganed polymath’ which seems about right. \n\n\n\nHe is probably best known as the co-host of the Sony Gold Award-winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox. He has also co-hosted a number of other successful podcasts including They’ve Made Us with Dr Helen Czerski\, Book Shambles with Josie Long\, and An Uncanny Hour\, all three of which are a part of the science and culture entertainment network\, The Cosmic Shambles Network\, which he also co-created with producer Trent Burton. \n\n\n\nAs a standup\, he has toured the world and won three Chortle Awards\, the Time Out Outstanding Achievement Award\, and was nominated for the British Comedy Awards Best Live Show. The Guardian once wrote that\, “When someone writes a history of modern comedy\, they should make room for Robin Ince” and of his latest show The Scotsman described it as an “alchemic mix of enthusiasm\, knowledge and observation.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the critics say\n\n\n\n\n“You need Robin Ince in your life.” \n\n\n\nNatalie Haynes  \n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the UK’s most accomplished comedians.” \n\n\n\nThe Bookseller  \n\n\n\n\n\n“Joyfully entertaining. Full of warmth\, wisdom\, and affectionate delight in the wonder and absurdity of being human.” \n\n\n\nObserver on I’m a Joke and So Are You  \n\n\n\n\n\n“A delightful and scintillating hymn to science.” \n\n\n\nProfessor Carlo Rovelli on The Importance of Being Interested  \n\n\n\n\n\n“When someone writes a history of modern comedy\, they should make room for Robin Ince.” \n\n\n\nTime Out  \n\n\n\n\n\n“An alchemic mix of enthusiasm\, knowledge\, and observation. An outrageous\, laugh-out-loud rollercoaster.” \n\n\n\nThe Scotsman  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£17.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 07 June 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.
