OXFORD LIFE

The Drawing Project The North Wall Gallery 12 February – 7 March

Dancing with Jane Austen Blackwell Hall, Weston Library Until 12th April 2026

The Drawing Project is a collaborative work involving sixteen artists and two paintings from the Ashmolean Museum: The Forest Fire by Piero di Cosimo and The Exposition of Moses by Nicholas Poussin. The aim was to produce drawings that worked collectively as well as individually.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, Dancing with Austen explores how important dance was to Austen’s gentry society and its crucial role in her creativity. This display brings together items from the Bodleian's collections and from Jane Austen’s House. See a reconstruction of Austen’s writing space at Chawton Cottage, Hampshire and details from a ball imagined through music, word, and dress.

Pat Suet-Bik Hui & The Three Perfections Gallery 11 Ashmolean Museum Beaumont Street Pat Suet-Bik Hui 許雪碧 (b. 1943) is a US-based Hong Kong artist. This exhibition showcases her work alongside others who engage with the tradition of the 'three perfections' 三絕 , which brings together the three art forms of poetry, calligraphy, and painting. In this tradition, calligraphic brushstrokes are as integral to compositional balance as those used in painting. Likewise, images conjured by a poem and those rendered in a painting combine to create effects neither can achieve alone.

Step inside The Hot L Baltimore – Lanford Wilson’s award-winning play about the humour and heartbreak of America’s forgotten dreamers. Set in a once-grand hotel, this play brings to life the vivid stories of the people who call it home. With sharp wit and compassion, Wilson reveals the resilience of the human spirit even as the lights begin to fade. Don’t miss this powerful, poignant, and darkly funny portrait of life on the margins. Presented by nineteen actors from The Oxford School of Drama, this is a great chance to watch emerging talent from a top UK drama school.
