I modi migliori per scoprire le attrazioni nelle vicinanze

La zona
Indirizzo
Quartiere: Bloomsbury
Confortevolmente annidato nel centro di Londra si trova il frondoso e accademico quartiere di Bloomsbury, una zona che si pregia di essere a breve distanza da molte delle più popolari attrazioni londinesi. È anche la sede di alcuni tra i più celebrati musei della Gran Bretagna, incluso il British Museum, assolutamente da non perdere. Nonostante una comprensibile popolarità tra gli studenti, i turisti e gli escursionisti, ampie sezioni di Bloomsbury conservano un'atmosfera tranquilla e residenziale per tutto l'anno e durante tutta la settimana.

As usual, this discreetly placed venue has produced an exceptional exhibition. 'Extraordinary Endeavours' is as enticing as it sounds, but you have to find it first. This is never easy in the campus of SOAS, despite being just around the corner from the British Museum. On this occasion the exhibition is a collaboration with the Royal Asiatic Society. For anyone who wants to understand some of the different cultures that make up this huge continent, there is no better introduction. Appealing artefacts and fascinating documentation make this exhibition a true revelation. There are just over two weeks left to enjoy this show. Entry is free.

This is part of the School of Oriental & African Studies within UCL, so exhibitions will reflect topics relevant to its interests. There tend to be a number of small exhibitions running concurrently. On this visit I loved the ground floor exhibition on the Hatha Yoga Project. Only issue was something beyond the gallery’s control, getting past the picket line for the lecturers’ strike over pensions. This was good natured but irritating. But well worth making the effort.

The Brunei Gallery is part of the School of African and Oriental Studies at the University of London, but don't let that put you off; it just gives you an idea of what to expect. Current show is of textiles - woven stuff mostly - from east and north Africa and if that seems dry, it isn't. This show throbs with quiet vitality. You sense that everything has or had a value quite unlike the self-satisfied pieces of -particularly modern - art that every other gallery seems full of these days. These are things that were used - either every day or for rare ceremonies - and each has a curious quality that will surprise. So, the most plain and regular piece of weaving suddenly reveals a crocodile or a god or man as part of its design. Figures are irregular, upside down, out of scale, but each has a vitality inherent to its use and place as both item of comfort (mostly) or treasure. Africa is a massive continent with more wonders than most Europeans would credit. (There's the same sense of vitality in the British Museum's African gallery). It has been and is a source of inspiration and wonder, both for the unique perspective of its artists and the compelling pressures of necessity that is inherent to African society. But there's richness too. In this show you'll also find gold and gold weights, bronzes, beads, silver and sumptuous jewellery. Not a huge show, it's on till 14 December 2019.

We enjoyed listening to the music - on vinyl and via headphones. We sawy some of the permanent exhibition - it looks worth going back to. We ran out of time for the roof garden. Next time!

For an organisation that prides itself on championing all sorts of equality issues, it was disappointing to find that, on the day I visited with friends who had accessibility issues, the lift was not working, so we could only see the Japanese laquer and Phillipine exhibitions on the ground floor and not anything on the others, including the roof garden which was to be a highlight of our visit.

The security guard did not know the lift was not working and, when we told him, was apologetic, but that's not the point.

Although I consider myself reasonably well informed regarding London and its museums, I only heard of this museum when I picked up a leaflet called “Museum Mile”. The Gallery is part of the School of Oriental and African Studies with exhibits reflecting this.

When I visited, there was a temporary display of exquisite lacquer work by Koyanagi Tanekuni. It was beautiful and the symbolism of each piece was clearly explained. Downstairs was an exhibition about music in Namibia, including photos and headphones to listen to music.

In the permanent gallery was an exhibition of historical artefacts, owned by SOAS, relating to Britain and the Philippines. I knew nothing about this topic so it was interesting. I think these exhibits change.

There is a Japanese garden on the top floor. Unfortunately, this was not at its best as work was being done. It is plain, even austere, with stones, gravel, some greenery and seats. I was intrigued by the wall inlets with long chains reaching to the ground pebbles. I think water is supposed to run down when it rains.

The museum is quite small. I was there about 40 minutes. It is free. I had difficulty finding it and several people I asked didn’t seem to know where it is! It is located at a corner of Russell Square and there is a signpost.

Nice gallery to visit also has a small Japanese roof garden. It was not busy at all when we visited on a weekday and we had the garden to ourselves. The garden is nicely laid out but not very big.
The exhibition when we visited was "Stolen Moments – Namibian Music History Untold (1950-80s)". We stayed for the talk given by the curators which was very detailed and very interesting.
The gallery is free and open to the public, not far from Russell Square.

“Master – an Ainu story” 🏠

➡ One-sentence summary
Anthropological photographer Adam Isfendiyar has lived with the tribe Ainu of Hokkaido for two years and detailed their everyday life and social tensions of being an ‘outsider’.

And being human yet any subtle difference from the ‘mainstream’ everyday pedestrians is all that is needed to start a cycle of alienation and un-empathy.

The Ainu’s have settled in Hokkaido having arrived in Japan as early as since 10000 B.C. Following a language and cultural ban by the Meiji government’s nationalist movement, over the years now it is estimated that only ten people in the world could speak the language. And as a glimpse of light to this perpetual darkness of neglect, as to what’s going to vanish, soon, out in a snowy night from somewhere so far away from our cities’ imagination – Ainu’s aboriginal status has only been recognized as recent as since 2008.

The exhibition blends interviews with photography by presenting monologues alongside relevant images. Here many works focus on one protagonist – with which Isfendiyar has befriended – an old man reminiscing of his inconvenient past, of how biases and bullying prevail in schools and the story of non-assimilation and rejection just because of one’s appearance.

(Isfendiyar’s disclaimer article on the top floor reminds us that there are people from both sides – Ainu and mainstream Japanese alike – that have contributed to the preservation of Ainu culture, that the tragic story of one Ainu protagonist should hardly be viewed as overly generalizable, and that there can be many views to the same phenomenon.)

A nice free museum that's part of the SOAS University of London. There's an ever changing program of exhibits and on the day I visited it was Film Poster Art in Africa. Nice to see some rather amusing interpretations of the films the posters were meant to advertise. Especially for films I've seen before. Really interesting the artists try to make their art stand out from the crowd with extra colourful arrangement, not to mention gore.

The Brunei gallery always has challenging and exciting exhibitions- one of the best venues in London - always punching above its weight! Always worth a visit to see what is on, but this exhibition is both fascinating - for archaeologists! and for anyone interested in this famous site - so visit it!
