All in code.  \n\n\n\nSo young and so troubled. At home\, in school\, on the street. There’s no way out – is there? \n\n\n\nDancin’ Oxford\, in conjunction with Justice in Motion\, will present the world premiere of CODE at its Summer Dance Festival in Oxford on 19 and 20 August 2023. \n\n\n\nCODE is an original physical theatre/dance work by Justice in Motion exploring the growing levels of child exploitation across regional UK by criminal gangs based in large cities. \n\n\n\nMobile phones are used by the gangs to organise the sale\, distribution and financing of drugs throughout the regions – hence the crime is colloquially known as “county lines”. \n\n\n\nThis energetic\, breath-taking\, pulsing\, visually stimulating performances tell an unforgettable tale of one young person who falls prey to a gang. Groomed with gifts and coerced with threats\, their victim takes on the dangerous business of drug running. The result is a visually stunning\, breath-taking\, and mesmerising piece of theatre.  \n\n\n\nCODE was developed through a research and development phase\, funded by Arts Council England\, and then a series of workshops with young people\, run in association with Dancin’ Oxford. \n\n\n\nJustice in Motion’s research has encompassed organisations working on the front line\, as well as collecting real stories from young victims and survivors. \n\n\n\nCODE brings together trials bikes\, parkour\, physical theatre and live rap music to establish a narrative that delves into the crime and its effects on young people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nCODE will be performed outdoors on Oxford Broad Street on 19 August at noon and 3.00pm\, and at Barton Neighbourhood Centre\, Headington\, on 20 August at 2.00pm and 5.00pm. \n\n\n\nAll performances are free to attend.

It juxtaposes the work of two London-based painters\, Flora Yukhnovich and Daniel Crews-Chubb. \n\n\n\nDespite stylistic differences\, the work of both artists links art historical inspirations with a dynamic and contemporary painterly language. The paintings displayed\, all made specifically for this exhibition\, convey a timeless passion for the medium of painting\, its materials and processes. \n\n\n\nFor this series of three exhibitions in Gallery 8\, each artist will explore different areas of the museum’s broad collections. Ashmolean NOW will feature their four very different points of view. The summer exhibition will be followed by Pio Abad in February 2024 and Bettina von Zwehl in October 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nVenue:Gallery 8 on the Lower Ground Floor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich (b. 1990) found herself drawn to the palettes and compositions of the museum’s Dutch and Flemish still life paintings.  \n\n\n\nHer large-sized paintings feature intense red\, pink\, peach and green colours and an abstracted painterly language. Circular forms and soft contours suggest organic growth\, while glowing light and dark contrasts create an illusion of three-dimensional depth. \n\n\n\nYukhnovich’s work playfully and critically explores different notions of femininity in the history of art and popular culture\, looking at contrasting stereotypes like ‘virtuous’ and ‘monstrous’ women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984) presents a group of large-scale paintings that take inspiration from ancient sculptures of deities and non-human figures found in the Ashmolean. \n\n\n\nThese ‘immortals’\, as Crews-Chubb calls his fantastical figures\, are created through a laborious process of addition and revision\, including drawing\, impasto\, and collage. \n\n\n\nThe textured patchwork of his canvasses gives Crews-Chubb’s monumental subjects a three-dimensional presence that\, as he describes\, ‘corrodes the boundary between painting and sculpture’.  URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/ashmolean-now-flora-yukhnovich-x-daniel-crews-chubb/ LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum\, 35 Beaumont Street\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire\, OX1 2PH CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/ashmolean-now-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7550824;-1.2611489 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ashmolean Museum 35 Beaumont Street Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 2PH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=35 Beaumont Street:geo:-1.2611489,51.7550824 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230730T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230730T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T150544 CREATED:20220909T040857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240306T150137Z UID:10003617-1690704000-1690722000@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Henley Farmers Market (5th Sundays) DESCRIPTION:Henley Farmers Market\, Henly on Thames\, Oxfordshire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Henley Farmers Market\n\n\n\nThe Farmers Market takes place in Henley Market Place the 2nd Saturday\, 4th Thursday and 5th Sunday (if there be one) of the month from 8.00am to 1.30pm \n\n\n\nExpect stalls with delicious\, fresh\, locally produced\, seasonal food as well as crafts and non-food items from suppliers in and around the Henley-on-Thames area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood to know\n\n\n\nThe Town Council organises several weekend / Continental-style Markets each year\, and the Charter Market is held in Market Place every Thursday (except on the 4th Thursday of the Month when it is replaced by the Farmers Market).
