🔔 EXHIBITION ALERT 🚨
“Wandering in Other Worlds – Evenki Cosmology and Shamanic Traditions” at the @PittRiversMuseum is open until 3 September 2023, inviting you, through this display and the virtual reality (#VR) headset, to wander in another world, an #Evenki world.
Listen to stories shaped by Evenki #cosmology and #shamanic #tradition and find out how these relate to objects in the Pitt Rivers Museum.
The Evenki are a diverse cultural group living across Northern and #CentralAsia. They are primarily reindeer-herding and hunting people, although in the steppes, Evenki took up horse herding, while in the #Arctic, fishing became an important occupation. Adapting to change and living in #harmony with nature has always been central to Evenki way of life.
The exhibition features work by @AnyaGleizer whom you may remember from our 2020 interview about her work in the region (also linked in our bio).

The 14th of August will see the world-renowned London Symphony Orchestra, led by its Principal Guest Conductor Gianandrea Noseda perform these works:
Rachmaninoff’s intoxicating Second Piano Concerto marked his triumphant return to composing following a four-year recovery from the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony. It’s brought to life in the hands of Mikhail Pletnev, one of the greatest pianists of his generation.
Shostakovich’s Eleventh Symphony drew on stories shared around his family table, particularly those of his father who survived St Petersburg’s Bloody Sunday massacre. The cinematic work features stirring revolutionary songs, painting a vivid musical portrait of blood-soaked battle.

“From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and Bri

“From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations” talk by Dr Louise Hardiman on 22 June at Christ College, Cambridge
There are countless examples of visual culture that can illustrate the presence of a flourishing British-Russian cultural dialogue. One fascinating aspect of this history is that of gift giving and cultural diplomacy between the Russian and British monarchies. In 2018-2019, Louise Hardiman worked with Royal Collection Trust and others to organise an academic conference accompanying the groundbreaking exhibition, “Russia, Royalty and the Romanovs” at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. Building on this important project, she decided to edit a collection of articles on the topic. In this lecture, Hardiman will discuss the book “Courtly Gifts and Cultural Diplomacy: Art, Material Culture and British-Russian Relations”, which was published by Brill Schöningh in spring 2023. Covering topics from ambassadorial portraits to gifts of exotic plants, to objects of Fabergé, the book presents a richly illustrated survey of the topic through essays from twelve experts drawn from academia, Royal Collection Trust, and the private sector.
