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.

Best Things to Do

Night view

M33***70

It is definitely worth going. You can deeply feel the profound British culture and the importance Britain attaches to talents in various fields such as science, culture and art. When we went there, we queued for less than an hour to get in. The order arrangement in the venue was very reasonable and the Chinese translator was very useful.

The British Museum

Museums

M29***10

I can attest to this: when visiting museums, you absolutely must purchase an guided tour. This morning I visited the British Museum. Luckily, I wisely chose the more expensive premium guided tour. Diana&#39;s explanation was lively, engaging, and undeniably professional. She not only told you what you saw but also provided an accessible explanation of the history behind the exhibits, allowing you to appreciate the characteristics of different cultures and even compare them with Chinese civilization. Diana, like a wise woman, not only shared the stories behind the exhibits but also showcased the unique humanistic appeal of Britain and the insights of someone who experienced it firsthand. Her profound knowledge and deep understanding of Beijing culture made us feel truly moved and reluctant to leave. My fellow travelers immediately decided to listen for an extra hour. Diana also shared the best camera angles, guaranteed to make your photos go viral on social media.

The view was beautiful. However the length of visit was a bit short compared to ticket price (personal perspective)
