SUMMARY:Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections
DESCRIPTION:Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections\n\n\n\nThis exhibition celebrates the work of Pat Suet-Bik Hui 許雪碧 (b. 1943)\, a US-based Hong Kong artist\, shown alongside others who explore the tradition of the ‘three perfections’ 三絕 – the harmonious blending of poetry\, calligraphy\, and painting. \n\n\n\nFeaturing works by Hui\, her contemporaries\, her teacher Lui Shou-Kwan\, and artists of his generation\, as well as earlier examples from the 17th to 19th centuries\, the exhibition offers a rich context for understanding Hui as both an innovator and a guardian of tradition. \n\n\n\nIn this artistic lineage\, calligraphic brushstrokes carry as much compositional weight as painted forms\, while poetry and imagery combine to create expressions neither can achieve alone. \n\n\n\nHui’s contemporary approach merges abstract and semi-abstract ink and colour washes with understated calligraphy\, inscribing poems that reflect on themes including love\, loss\, and the quiet joys of drinking. \n\n\n\nVisitors will find translations of many inscribed poems and guidance on interpreting the interplay of painting\, calligraphy\, and poetry within individual works. \n\n\n\nHui gifted her paintings to art historian Michael Sullivan\, whose collection was bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum in 2013. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrice: \n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nGallery 11 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with Poem by Xin Qiji\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Wucius Wong\, 1987\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with poem by Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, 1999\, ink colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with poem by Nara Singde\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui\, 1991\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum

SUMMARY:Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Various venues across Oxfordshire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival 2026\n\n\n\nCelebrating the county’s creativity \n\n\n\nThe Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival returns in 2026\, running from Saturday 02 May to Sunday 25 May\, offering three weeks of visual arts\, craft\, and creative exploration across the county. \n\n\n\nAs the UK’s oldest and largest artist open studios and pop-up exhibition event\, the festival showcases the remarkable talent of hundreds of local artists\, makers and designers. \n\n\n\nIn 2026\, the festival is split into three overlapping sections:  \n\n\n\n\nSouth Oxfordshire from 02 to 10 May\, \n\n\n\nNorth & West Oxfordshire from 09 to 17 May\, and \n\n\n\nOxford City from 16 to 25 May. \n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re wandering through historic streets\, ancient churches\, or glorious gardens\, Artweeks provides a chance to experience creativity in every corner of the county. \n\n\n\nExplore studios\, galleries and gardens \n\n\n\nArtweeks invites visitors to step into artists’ studios\, pop-up galleries\, medieval tithe barns\, private homes and sprawling gardens. You can see painting\, photography\, textiles\, sculpture\, ceramics\, glass\, mosaics\, jewellery\, woodworking\, and contemporary installations. Many artists offer demonstrations or encourage visitors to try their hand\, providing a rare opportunity to engage directly with the creative process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxfordshire Artweeks\n\n\n\nOxfordshire Artweeks is the UK’s oldest and largest artist open studios and pop-up exhibition event. \n\n\n\nThe Artweeks festival is Oxfordshire’s largest visual arts festival and the UK’s oldest and biggest Open Studios event. It is a three-week not-for-profit celebration in May each year of the county’s artistic and creative talent encompassing the visual arts in their broadest sense. \n\n\n\nUsually\, around 1\,500 artists open the doors to their homes and studios or participate in pop-up exhibitions and welcome the public to see their creations and watch them work. Over 100\,000 people visit Artweeks exhibitions each year\, and a million pounds of art changes hands. \n\n\n\nIn previous years\, visitors have been able to immerse themselves in a giant wild-flower meadow of paint at Oxford’s North Wall\, marvel at shimmering glass meteorites in Kidlington or take a trip into the past with jewellery inspired by archaeology or the stunning mosaics by Becky Paton. \n\n\n\nVisitors could see traditional blacksmithing in Watlington and the Cotswolds\, take an outdoor art trail through Chipping Norton and wander through a stunning five-acre garden in Kingham near Chipping Norton populated with hundreds of sculptures. \n\n\n\nIn Burford\, there were extraordinary hand-sculpted wooden tables to discover\, each like a miniature tree. And in Shipton-under-Wychwood\, animal artist Nic Vickery set up her 1968 caravan studio ‘Gertie’ at a working metalwork studio in nearby Asthall\, where a metal forest grows! \n\n\n\nYou’ll find full details for Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival on the festival website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important ticketing information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nAll venues are drop-in and are generally open between 11.00am and 6.00pm. However\, this varies\, so please confirm the times for individual venues before travelling.

SUMMARY:Wonder of Birds Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\nA major new exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries invites visitors to step into the remarkable world of birds\, exploring their beauty\, symbolism and fragility through art\, literature and science. \n\n\n\nWonder of Birds draws inspiration from The Book of Birds\, created by artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane. Both the exhibition and the book reflect on the decline of bird populations while celebrating their cultural and natural significance. \n\n\n\nCurated by Antonia Harrison\, the exhibition unfolds through seven themed sections – from nest and egg to feather\, flight and migration – combining original artwork and writing with treasures from the Bodleian’s extensive collections. \n\n\n\nVisitors can explore rare and historic material\, including previously unseen glass plate negatives by pioneering wildlife photographer Emma Louisa Turner\, alongside early nature photography from Richard Kearton and his brother Cherry. \n\n\n\nAlso on display are striking life-size illustrations from Birds of America by John James Audubon\, as well as a rare Great Auk egg on loan from Oxford University Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also highlights birds’ enduring influence on culture\, featuring works such as Maya Angelou’s ‘Caged Bird’ and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s handwritten notes on ‘To a Skylark’. Global perspectives include imagery from The Book of the Fixed Stars and the poetic journey of The Conference of the Birds. \n\n\n\nEnhancing the experience\, a specially commissioned soundscape by sound artist Jason Singh immerses visitors in birdsong and natural environments\, while artist duo Daniel & Clara present an interactive ‘Rewilding Imagination field guide’. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Wonder of Birds poster\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\nFree admission\, no ticket required \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 02 May 2026 to Sunday 03 January 2027 \n\n\n\nMonday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pmSaturday from 10.00am to 5.00pmSunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nThe Treasury\, Weston Library

SUMMARY:Where is Mrs Christie?
DESCRIPTION:Where is Mrs Christie?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Where is Mrs Christie?\n\n\n\n‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ starring Liz Grand \n\n\n\nAgatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926\, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction\, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. \n\n\n\nHer crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing\, presumed dead by many\, for eleven days. However\, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then\, and for the rest of her life\, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her. \n\n\n\nActor Liz Grand presents her one-woman show ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved?
