Join artist Joshua Whitaker for a captivating and thought-provoking talk/performance titled "Acid History - Into the Silver Screen". Taking place at the prestigious Hellenic Centre in London, this event is a unique opportunity to delve into Whitaker's innovative work developed during his time as Arts Researcher in Residence at The British School at Athens (BSA), in partnership with Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Arts at University of the Arts London.

Whitaker will delve into the profound influence of the BSA's archive, library, and laboratory on his artistic practice. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as Walter Benjamin's concept of 'Left Melancholy', religious icons, Amiri Baraka's exploration of time in his short story 'Rhythm Travel', Etel Adnan's poetry, the Delphic Oracle, and Pier Paolo Pasolini's script for 'San Paolo', Whitaker will present his concept of 'Acid History'.

Through the lens of film photography and music, Whitaker will explore how to reimagine history as 'Acid' in nature, challenging traditional narratives and offering a fresh perspective on the past. By doing so, he aims to spark a radical rethinking of our current socio-political climate, envisioning a future that transcends neoliberal politics.

Don't miss this captivating event, where you'll have the opportunity to explore new horizons and challenge conventional notions of history. Please note that the event has limited capacity, so make sure to join the waiting list for a chance to secure your ticket.

🏰Westminster Abbey is really amazing!

📍It is located in the center of London, close to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. This church is an outstanding representative of British Gothic architecture, with towering spires, exquisite carvings and gorgeous stained glass windows. Every detail shows unparalleled artistic charm.

Walking into the church, it seems to travel through time and space. This is the holy place for the coronation of the British royal family and has witnessed countless important moments in history. At the same time, it is also the resting place of many celebrities. Great figures such as Newton, Darwin, and Dickens are buried here, which makes people respect their contributions.
Walking through it, you can feel the solemnity of religion and appreciate the profound historical and cultural heritage. The Henry VII Chapel in the church is even more exquisite, with a fan-shaped dome roof and dense carvings, like a fairyland. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or a history and culture fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me.

💕Highly recommended to everyone! 💕

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
