This workshop will delve into the history and artistry of still life, examining its practice and form. Through a presentation, Kenneth will discuss the technical aspects, symbolism, and history of still life, sharing how these elements are present in his own work. The workshop will then shift focus to you, the participant, with Kenneth providing guidance and instruction on creating your own still life. You are encouraged to bring personal objects, and Kenneth will offer support with lighting, backdrops, and techniques to enhance the depth and richness of your compositions. By the end of the workshop, you will gain the knowledge to create and photograph your own still life. The session will conclude with participants sharing and discussing their unique creations.

Led by Dr Karen Schucan Bird (UCL), artists Jonathan Hogg and Andy D’Cruz (Output Arts), alongside survivors of domestic abuse, Time for Tea is an innovative project that blends art, research, and survivor experience to generate messages about how to support those experiencing domestic abuse.
The project mimics domestic settings through a series of interactive art installations in public spaces, centred on the theme of "meeting up for a cup of tea and a biscuit" with friends and family. By creating safe spaces that are conducive to conversation, the group aims to raise awareness and improve responses to abuse.
As part of our Home Truths series, this interactive panel invites you to share a cup of tea and a biscuit with us, and each other.
Explore collaborative practices at the intersections of research and art, as well as methods for engaging the public with challenging subjects. Learn about the unexpected benefits of art-making processes and how these can be the perfect medium for unwrapping otherwise difficult topics.
Each attendee will receive a copy of the limited-edition Time for Tea zine.

Join Museum of the Home’s Gaynor Tutani in conversation with curator, archivist and academic Makiya Davis-Bramble, artist and cultural curator Jean Joseph, and curator, artist and scholar Michael McMillan, as they gather to explore the layered histories of migration, the legacy of the ‘Windrush Generation’, and the ever-evolving idea of Diaspora.
Inspired by the writings and wisdom of cultural thinkers of the likes of Stuart Hall, James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, Sylvia Wynter, Louise Simone Bennett and many others, this afternoon invites you to reflect on how identities are shaped, challenged, and reimagined across time and space. Together, the panel will trace lines of movement — not only of people, but of memory, music, art, culture, resistance, and renewal, exploring what it means to hold history, while stepping into the future.
This is not simply a conversation about the past. It is a reckoning with the present. It is a celebration of multiplicity, a confrontation with complex truths, and a meditation on what it means to exist in-between: between cultures, between definitions, between homes.
We often define ourselves in fixed terms to feel grounded — but what if identity is not a destination, but a journey always unfolding? As Stuart Hall once wrote, “Identity is not as transparent or unproblematic as we think… it is a production, which is never complete, always in process, and always constituted within, not outside, representation.”
Come be part of this timely and necessary dialogue — one that honours the roots of our shared history while embracing the ever-shifting nature of who we are.
