What’s On This Weekend: Masterpiece London, Weavers Of The Clouds & Kiss My Genders

Cindy Sherman Exhibition in Trafalgar Square

A major new retrospective of Cindy Sherman is taking place at the National Portrait Gallery until September. Exploring the development of her work from the mid-1970’s to the present day, the exhibition will feature around 150 works from international public and private collections, as well as new work never before displayed in a public gallery. Focussing on the manipulation of her own appearance and her deployment of material derived from a range of cultural sources, including film, advertising and fashion, the exhibition will explore the tension between façade and identity.

Peter Gynt Play on Southbank

The Olivier Theatre plays host to a reproduction of Henrik Ibsen’s classic Peter Gynt. Reinvented for the 21st Century as a riotous musical adventure by David Hare, this outrageous modern myth tells the story of Peter Gynt. Peter is searching for himself. Travelling from the mountains of Scotland to the pool-sides of Florisa, he’ll meet talking hyena’s, two-heade trolls and even an Egyptian Sphinx. But will his journey be all that he hoped for? Only a short bus ride from our Kennington office, drop in if you’re keen to find out more about properties to rent or properties to buy in the area.

Kiss My Genders Exhibition on Southbank

Kiss My Genders is a group exhibition celebrating more than 30 international artists who work explores and engages with gender identity. Spanning the past 50 years, Kiss My Genders brings together over 100 artworks by artists from around the world who employ a vast range of approaches to articulate and engage with gender fluidity, as well as with non-binary, trans and intersex identities. Working across photography, painting, sculpture, installation and video, many of these artists in this exhibition move beyond a conventional understanding of the body, and in doing so open up new possibilities for gender, beauty and representations of the human form.

If you’re interested in finding out more about future events in Westminster, London, Kennington and the surrounding areas, feel free to drop by any of our offices – we’ll be glad to provide you with a list.
