This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.
Enjoy a bespoke guided walk around the Cambridge University Botanic Garden enjoying the beautiful sounds of spring, with staff from the Garden and the Museum of Zoology.

This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.
We invite families with children who have additional sensory needs to join us for our Studio Sunday Relaxed Session. These quieter art making workshops aim to provide a comfortable creative experience at Kettle’s Yard.
In our Clore Learning Studio, participants can make art inspired by artworks and ideas at Kettle’s Yard, supported by artists and volunteers. No prior art experience is required.
Activities are designed for children ages 3–11 and we encourage parents and carers to create alongside their child.
The Whipple Museum of the History of Science is home to a vast array of scientific instruments used to understand the world around us, dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. We'll be taking some of these objects out of their cases for hands-on exploration and discussion.
You are welcome to stay and explore the Museum after the tour if you would like to.

This is a free taster session for our Parkinson's Dance Course.
We're inviting people affected by Parkinson’s to take part in a short course led by dance for health artist Filipa Pereira-Stubbs and inspired by objects, artefacts and artworks from the University of Cambridge Museums.
Sessions start with minute exploration of museum objects. The stories of the objects inspire the dance session. We end with refreshments and a chance to look again at the objects. The dance is both chair based and standing, and we invite participants to work at the level that suits them best. Companions are welcome!
The course is part of a pilot programme.
Activities take place on selected Fridays from 10.30am to 12pm at Cambridge Junction:
