Hieroglyphs at the British Museum
For centuries, life in ancient Egypt was a
mystery. We could only glimpse into this
hidden world, until the discovery of the
Rosetta Stone provided the key to decoding
hieroglyphs, allowing us to read this ancient
script. The breakthrough expanded our
understanding of human history by some
3,000 years. Marking 200 years since the
decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, this
major exhibition takes you through the trials
and hard work that preceded, and the
revelations that followed, this ground-
breaking moment. Hieroglyphs were not just
beautiful symbols, they represented a living,
spoken language. From romantic poetry and
international treaties, to shopping lists and tax
returns, the hieroglyphic inscriptions and
ancient handwriting in this exhibition reveal
stories that are fantastically varied. As well as
an unshakeable belief in the power of the
pharaohs and the promise of the afterlife,
ancient Egyptians enjoyed good food, writing
letters and making jokes. The show will chart
the race to decipherment, from initial efforts
by medieval Arab travellers and Renaissance
scholars to more focussed progress by French
scholar Jean-François Champollion (1790–
1832) and England’s Thomas Young (1773–
1829). The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799,
with its decree written in hieroglyphs, demotic
and the known language of ancient Greek,
provided the key to decoding the ancient
signs. The results of the 1822 breakthrough
proved staggering. Using inscriptions on the
very objects that Champollion and other
scholars studied, this immersive exhibition will
help you to unlock one of the world’s oldest
civilisations.

solo show in the UK, Vicente Matte will present
works that are colourfully bold and striking in
composition. Creating images full of
suspension, Vicente takes inspiration from his
own family memories as well as popular
motives and narratives belonging to South
American culture, exploring individuals and
their relationships to collectives, place, and
memory.

In The Light – Photography Exhibition
at the October Gallery
Between its invention - almost 200 years ago
- and the post-modern present, artists have
adopted the unique medium of photography in
an astonishing variety of ways and to very
different ends. From the 1960s onwards,
photography within the African Diaspora has
been adapted as a medium to construct and
contextualise post-colonial narratives; as a
tool to condition socio-political change; and as
a means of exploring and expressing the
intrinsic complexities of identity itself. In the
Light examines the inherent qualities of this
ever-changing medium by focusing in on
several contemporary artists who, by
connecting photography to a pan-African
aesthetic, are reimagining the medium while
extending its reach into new and surprising
areas.

Tiny Traces: African & Asian Children
at the Foundling Hospital
Explore newly uncovered stories of African
and Asian children in the care of the
eighteenth-century Foundling Hospital.
Tiny Traces presents a rich history of London
life from 1739-1820, a key period in Britain’s
colonial past. Follow the stories of more than
a dozen children from the African and Asian
diasporas through personal items, physical
artefacts, works of art and archival
documents. Visitors can also explore the
circumstances surrounding their admission to
the Hospital, including the parents’ lives, the
Hospital’s ties to Empire and the wider picture
of colonial Britain.
Running as a parallel thread throughout the
exhibition, works of art from leading
contemporary artists, including Zarina Bhimji
and Hew Locke, form a dialogue with the
historic narratives. These works enable
visitors to explore the many emotions arising
from the archive, and ask questions about the
past, present and future.
Presenting brand new research, this exhibition
gives a fresh perspective on the world of the
eighteenth century, and of today.

Nigerian ‘Uli’ Art at the Brunei Gallery
Brunei Gallery is pleased to present this
collaborative exhibition curated by Chuu Krydz
Ikwuemesi of Nigerian artists drawing on and
connecting with the tradition of Uli as an
artform in their work. As Ikwuemesi explains:
“Uli refers at once to different but related
things. It is the name of the indigo dye
obtained from several species of plants
identified with various botanical names and
used for drawing on the human body. Apart
from describing the dye, the word, uli, also
stands for the drawing made on the body or
wall with the dye or pigment; and it is also the
name of the art tradition in which the indigo
dye or earth pigments were used. The word
Uli equally functioned as an aesthetic
determinant among the Igbo, referring to
various nuances of beauty, intricacy and
manifestation of design skill. Beyond its
cosmetic and clinical possibilities, Uli also
served as dress or clothing among some Igbo
women folk in pre-contact times. Derived
originally from the body painting technique,
Uli wall painting is bolder and more vigorous.”

Contemporary Black Photography:
Tyler Mitchell at the Gagosian
Next month, the Gagosian is putting on
Chrysalis, an exhibition of new photographs
by Tyler Mitchell. Opening October 6, it will be
the gallery’s first solo exhibition of works by
Mitchell, and his first in London. Mitchell’s
photographs and videos propose a utopian
vision of Black beauty, desire, and belonging.
For Chrysalis, he has produced photographs of
youthful subjects in nature. Shot on location
in upstate New York and in studios in New York
and London in 2022, the images allude to the
contemporary landscape while reflecting on
the history of photographic images of Black
people, particularly in the American South.
Playfully theatrical and surreal, the works
focus on Black figures and the landscapes they
inhabit, incorporating visual signifiers of
spirituality, transformation, and aspiration.
Chrysalis presents images of Black men and
women in idyllic states of leisure and repose,
safe and unencumbered by social
expectations. In a photograph that shares its
title with the exhibition, a young man sleeps
on a blanket-covered bed, within the
protective cocoon of a mosquito net. A Glint of
Possibility represents a figure on a tire swing
suspended above the surface of a lake, frozen
in perfect equilibrium. Treading shows a boy’s
head emerging from the same lake as a large
bunch of balloons floats in the image’s center.
Mitchell uses land, water, and sky in both
natural and artificial forms as symbols of
possibilities and transformation. Cage depicts
a woman posing before a painted backdrop of
a garden surrounded by a white picket fence—
a pictorial symbol of the artificial containment
of nature. In the triptych Protect from all
Elements, we see a figure actively creating his
own universe by pulling a painted sky
backdrop over a coffin-like structure holding
tilled earth. Juxtaposed with these images of
subjects in harmony with nature are smaller
photographs in which men are represented
wading, swimming, and struggling in muddy
water. From the mud-covered figure in The
Heart to the cleansing currents of Distillation
and muddy footprints of Tenderly, these works
picture individuals affected by clashing
elemental forces. As such, they assert the
need to remain vigilant and resilient in the
face of historical prejudice and unfulfilled
commitments.
Cage, Tyler Mitchell, 2022, Archival pigment print,
50 × 40 inches (127 × 101.6 cm)
“Collectively, these moments become
figments of an imaginative psychic state of
being, one in which radiance, resistance,
restraint, comfort, and full human agency
exist.”
