SUMMARY:Walking Tour - Modernist Hampstead
DESCRIPTION:Discover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s such as The Sun House by Maxwell Fry\, and 66 Frognal by Connell Ward and Lucas. Much of the architecture echoed design trends in Europe and the walk includes passing housing by the émigré architects Ernst Freud and Erno Goldfinger. Elements of eighteenth-century architectural design were also an influence for some architects. \nPassing some more recent examples and of course striking non modernist Hampstead buildings\, this walk will finish at the iconic and idealistic Isokon flats in Belsize Park which were famous in the 1930s for enabling Bauhaus designers and refugees to live here to escape the Nazi regime. \nThis tour is timed to coincide with the opening hours of both 2 Willow Road (needs to be booked 2 weeks in advance) and the Isokon Gallery which you may like to visit afterwards \n  \n  \n\n\nBook here \n  \nMeet in the forecourt outside Wagamamma\, 58-62 Heath Street\, London NW3 1EN \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Walking Tour - Diverse London - Art and Refugees in Hampstead
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1930s the Hampstead Art scene rallied support to rescue artists trapped in Czechoslovakia under Nazi rule. Led by the refugee lawyer/artist Fred Ulman and his aristocratic English wife Diana Croft from their Downshire Hill house\, they formed the artist refugee committee. We learn about how their house became a refuge for artists and about the organizations that they were involved with. We visit sites Uhlman was known to frequent and discuss the role of his artistic friends and neighbours and consider other refugees who settled in Hampstead during this time. \nBefore or after the tour you may wish to visit the Isokon Gallery and/or 2 Willow Road (advance booking required). \n  \n\n\n\nBook here. \n  \n\nMeet in the forecourt outside Wagamama\, 58-62 Heath Street\, London\, NW31EN. \nYou can check travel options at the Transport for London Journey Planner. \n\nPicture: The Coffee Cup\, Hampstead which Fred Uhlman frequented by Marilyn Greene

SUMMARY:Comrades in Art – For Peace\, Democracy and Cultural Freedom
DESCRIPTION:In the autumn of 1933 a group of twenty-something largely unknown artists and designers felt impelled to begin organising against the threat of fascism and war. They determined to create a London-based artists’ auxiliary in support of progressive causes. \nWithin two years the Artists International Association had won the support of some of the best-known artists of the era from Laura Knight to Henry Moore and was staging the landmark exhibition Artists Against Fascism and War in Soho Square. By April 1937\, with a membership approaching a thousand\, the AIA organised the First British Artists Congress – an event that laid the groundwork for positive postwar developments. \nAndy Friend’s new book – Comrades in Art\, Artists Against Fascism 1933-43 sets the rich history of the AIA in a global context. In this talk he will discuss how recently re-discovered sources have shed new light on the role of political emigrés from its first founding meetings to the landmark For Liberty exhibition\, held in the spring of 1943. The young founders of the AIA succeeded in reaching upward generationally and outward politically to build a broadly based organisation with strong international links. In doing so they united artists of many different aesthetic persuasions in opposition to divisive populism\, authoritarianism and oppression – how they did so is a tale for our time. \nAndy Friend was involved in community politics in the 1970s and worked for the Greater London Council in the 1980s before becoming Chief Executive of the City of Melbourne in the 1990s. After returning from Australia\, he held senior positions in a number of major infrastructure organisations. In 2017 Andy published Ravilious & Co; the Pattern of Friendship and co-curated the eponymous Towner Gallery touring exhibition. In 2020 he wrote John Nash – The Landscape of Love and Solace (2020) and co-curated its accompanying Towner touring exhibition. Artists International – The First Decade\, curated by Andy\, is showing in the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Archive Gallery at Tate Britain until March 2026. Comrades in Art – a more extensive exhibition – will open at the Towner Eastbourne on May 6th 2026. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Activism Through Art: Edith Tudor Hart in Britain
DESCRIPTION:Sociologist Larry Ray\, one of the contributors to the anthology Poverty for Sale: Edith Tudor Hart in Britain\, recently published by MuseumsEtc\, will give a talk about the life and work of photographer and committed communist Edith Tudor Hart. Born in Vienna\, she settled in the UK in 1933 and went on to produce a powerful body of images that bear witness to her profound sympathy for the young\, the underprivileged\, the disabled and displaced. \nThis major new publication\, described by one reviewer as “a reminder of the power of activism through art” and by another as an overdue “documentation of her important photographic contribution and her often tragic life”\, provides a comprehensive overview of the largely-unknown work of Edith Tudor Hart (1908-1973) during her forty years living in Britain. It is extensively illustrated with over 200 images (many published for the first time)\, original letters and documents held in leading international museums\, galleries and private collections – including pages from her recently discovered personal scrapbook. \nLarry Ray is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent. He has published and taught extensively on social theory and philosophy\, postcommunism\, the politics of Holocaust memory in Poland\, the sociology of violence\, and photographic aesthetics. His book Violence & Society was first published in 2011; the second revised edition appeared in 2018 and includes an analysis of violence and the visual. His article on ‘Social theory\, photography and the visual aesthetic’ published in Cultural Sociology in 2020 won the annual SAGE Prize for Innovation/Excellence. He has a long-standing interest in the photography of Edith Tudor Hart\, and his essay ‘Social Realism and Edith Tudor Hart’ is included in Poverty for Sale. \n\nImage: Edith Tudor Hart \n\nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour - Diverse London - City Public Art by Refugees and Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour \nThe City of London has always been home to immigrant communities. This walks winds its way through the City streets and highlights immigrants who made a mark here in a literal way as it is home to some of their sculptures and reliefs. We will discover the first official public sculpture\, the Monument which was carved by Caius Gabriel Cibber a Danish immigrant; a drinking fountain by French refugee\, Aimé-Jules Dalou; mosaics by Russian born Boris Anrep and perhaps the most significant contribution of sculptures are by a number of refugees from Nazi Europe who settled in the UK such as Naomi Blake\, Frank Meisler\, Oscar Nemon and Georg Ehrlich. The tour finishes with the most recent sculpture\, Unity\, 1992 by a Croatian refugee from former Yugoslavia\, Ivan Klapez. \nPlease note that a couple of sculptures may not be accessible to view due to security or building work issues. \n\n\n\nBook here. \n\nMeet outside the front of St Botolph’s Church\, Aldgate High Street London EC3N 1AB
