This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the painter, Joan Hodes. Born in Hampstead
in 1925, Joan studied first at the Slade School of Art, then Academy Julien in Paris and subsequently
as a pupil of Oskar Kokoschka, forging an art shaped by expressionism and a direct response to nature.
The exhibition at Highgate Gallery presents a range of her work to include oils as well as drawings,
pastels, and prints. It will allow visitors to see the development of her work from sketch through to
completed canvases and fully resolved watercolours. In addition, they will be able to view a variety
of her prints, including lino, etchings and dry points which show how even when working within a small
scale, through colour and line, she was able to create powerful and expressive images. For Joan, the
landscape with its changing weather and light, drawn from regular trips to Scotland, Wales, Ireland,
France, Italy and most recently Suffolk, was a re-occurring theme and the site for an immediate and
subjective response, full of energy and even rebellion.
Joan moved to Camden Town in the late eighties and subsequently to Hampstead where she lived for
over 30 years until her death in 2022. She regularly contributed to exhibitions at, amongst others,
the Mercury Gallery, Leicester Gallery, Ben Uri Gallery and the Royal Academy.
At a time when the work of women artists is being reassessed, an exhibition of Joan’s work is both
timely and important. There is a growing interest in her work which is already represented in numerous
private and public collections, including the British Museum, V&A and UCL Art Museum. Her archive is
held at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths, University of London.

2026 marks 10 years since the death of the late, great Victoria Wood. So be amongst friends at “The most feel-good show in town” (Daily Mail) and join Paulus The Cabaret Geek (BBC1’s ‘All Together Now’) with Michael Roulston (Fascinating Aïda) on piano to celebrate her life.
Directed by the multi-award-winning Sarah-Louise Young (An Evening Without Kate Bush), Looking For Me Friend is filled with Victoria’s best-loved songs, including the iconic ‘Ballad of Barry & Freda’ (Let’s Do It) and the classic ‘It Would Never Have Worked’.
Ariella Green trained at St Martin’s School of Art, Goldsmiths College and Manchester Metropolitan University and has exhibited with the Crafts Council, 62 Group of Textile Artists and New Fibre Art group. She is a member of the Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) Gallery in London.
Library of Moments – these works mark for Ariella key experiences in all their light and shade. Through her work she responds to these experiences, often working on, or ‘mending’ them within the collage. She perceives that Nature is key: a stage for us as humans on which to tell our story and to hold to in moments of doubt. Her imaginary animals explore mysteries and unknown feelings. The birds change their wings as they journey. They fly above and can see more than is clear to us below. Animals, figures, birds and nature are washed with colour they dance towards an alternate space where much is possible and doubt and hope can live together. Current realities can get woven in unexpected ways into this storytelling.
Collage technique is essential to her creativity and at the core of her practice. Her subject matter becomes clearer through the process of cutting and assembling – “I am often surprised at where my making takes me. Since my early training,I have worked mostly with Textile Collage. However, for this exhibition, I have incorporated papier collé, building on my own photographs and found materials and using screen-print and hand painting. This shift from sewing machine to scissors and glue allows me more directness and spontaneity in my making. Photographs give me particular access to memories and events, allowing me to tell a story of moments, that become alive in their telling.

On this International Women’s Day, Carola Emrich-Fisher, mezzo-soprano and Lara Dodds-Eden, piano will present Unheard Voices: Women Composers & Their Stories. With six different languages, three continents and several centuries represented, this recital offers a glimpse into the vast repertoire of women composers’ works. Women composers are still underrepresented in the canon of Classical music and little research has been undertaken into some composers simply because they were women and not as well-known in their time. Luckily, the world is gradually discovering the wealth of repertoire composed by women in the past and contemporary women composers are more and more represented in concert halls. This recital will be a journey of discovery: from little-known Romantic composers, such as Josephine Lang, Dora Pejačević, Clara Faisst, Johanna Müller-Hermann and Margarete Schweikert, to 20th century composers Lili and Nadia Boulanger, Henriette Boesmanns, Rebecca Clarke, Amy Beach, Marion Bauer, Florence Price and Vítězslava Kaprálová, to contemporary composers Shirley Thompson, Virginia Firnberg, Cecilia Livingston and Alice Ping Yee Ho. These women composers were and are trailblazers of their time, breaking conventions and pursuing their work despite immense challenges. The concert will not only present these composers’ works, but will shed light on the fascinating life stories and accomplishments of these women.
German-American mezzo-soprano Carola Emrich-Fisher has appeared as soloist and ensemble member in major concert halls of the US, UK and Europe. She holds an MM (distinction) from the Longy School of Music and a BM (honours) from New England Conservatory. Australian-born pianist Lara Dodds-Eden received her doctorate from the University of Toronto after postgraduate studies in the UK. As a specialist song and choral accompanist, she has performed extensively in the UK, Australia, Canada and Europe.

Take part in our cultural and creative community events celebrating Persian New Year and the arrival of spring, including exhibitions, music, family activities, poetry, a bazaar and more.
Our Nowruz Festival is a community-wide creative celebration of Persian New Year and the arrival of spring, a moment to come together, share stories and find connection as the seasons turn. At a time when community can feel especially important, we open our doors to everyone, whether you observe Nowruz each year, are discovering Persian culture, holidays and traditions for the first time, or just want to join in.
Embracing the arrival of spring, Nowruz is a 14 day tradition enjoyed for more than 3,000 years by over 300 million people worldwide, particularly across Western Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea Basin, the Balkans, and South Asia. Deeply rooted in Persian culture, Nowruz is marked by renewal, hope and time spent together with friends and family, especially outdoors. The Nowruz festivities culminate after 13 days on Sizdeh Bedar, also known as Nature’s Day, during which people spend time picnicking outdoors to keep bad luck at bay.
Waterlow Park, with its secret enclaves, ponds and myriad of trees (including a Persian Ironwood), brings to mind a Persian garden, and has become an important and beautiful place for local families and friends to come together. For the third year, we are bringing the festivities inside Lauderdale House under the guidance of our Artist/Curator Mehrdad Aref-Adib. Our Nowruz Festival focuses on celebrating the cultural traditions and artistic expression associated with the beginning of spring, rather than religious or political themes, so that all communities feel welcome.
Find all the activities and dates below, with more events coming soon.

Highgate Gallery is open:

“Electrifying physical performance”
— Broadway Baby
Step into the illicit glamour of The Moonlight Speakeasy – Neon Moon’s hidden world of prohibition-era decadence. Beneath the neon glow of a lavish 1920s dive bar (think Peaky Blinders meets The Great Gatsby), a heady night of mischief awaits.
Sip on ice-cold, artfully crafted cocktails as burlesque sirens bathe in martinis and retro-circus performers dazzle in a haze of smoke and scandal. This is a place where elegance meets excess, and nothing is quite what it seems.
Dressing up is more than encouraged—it’s essential. Channel your inner bohemian, Tokyo Queen, artist, or muse, and step into the spotlight for the most electrifying ‘Blind Tiger’ prohibition show in town.
Ariella Green trained at St Martin’s School of Art, Goldsmiths College and Manchester Metropolitan University and has exhibited with the Crafts Council, 62 Group of Textile Artists and New Fibre Art group. She is a member of the Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) Gallery in London.
Library of Moments – these works mark for Ariella key experiences in all their light and shade. Through her work she responds to these experiences, often working on, or ‘mending’ them within the collage. She perceives that Nature is key: a stage for us as humans on which to tell our story and to hold to in moments of doubt. Her imaginary animals explore mysteries and unknown feelings. The birds change their wings as they journey. They fly above and can see more than is clear to us below. Animals, figures, birds and nature are washed with colour they dance towards an alternate space where much is possible and doubt and hope can live together. Current realities can get woven in unexpected ways into this storytelling.
Collage technique is essential to her creativity and at the core of her practice. Her subject matter becomes clearer through the process of cutting and assembling – “I am often surprised at where my making takes me. Since my early training,I have worked mostly with Textile Collage. However, for this exhibition, I have incorporated papier collé, building on my own photographs and found materials and using screen-print and hand painting.
