Photographic Exhibition – Week 1

Sunday, 4th June to Friday, 9th June

Variations on a Theme- Where Photography Becomes Art:  Sunday 4th – Friday 30th June.

Private Viewing Sunday 4th June 2.00-4.00 pm

Come and see creative photography at its best and purchase unique creations.

Photo manipulation is not new.  The Soviets did it decades ago.  But now “To Photoshop” is a verb to describe the same thing.  Mosaic Reform’s David Ruback uses Photoshop and his camera to produce stunning works of art.  In his forthcoming “Variations on a Theme” exhibition he shows original photographs and then manipulates them into something completely different.  He will be exhibiting some of his most creative photographs during June and you will have the chance to purchase your favourites, all in aid of CICRA – Crohn’s In Childhood Research Association.

Mondays – Thursdays 09.00 – 17.00.  Fridays 09.00 – midday.  Please ring 020-8864 0133 for an appointment.

“Meet the Author” – Professor Peter Lantos

Mosaic Culture Hub Invites You To “Meet the Author” – Professor Peter Lantos

Join us for a light lunch before Steve Levinson will interview Peter about his extraordinary journey as a boy of 5, through war-torn Europe in 1944 and 1945. Peter’s book ‘The Boy Who Didn’t Want to Die’ describes a background of terror, starvation, infection and death before Peter and his mother can return home, and it is a story of courage, resilience and hope for the future.

This is:  ‘A true story of survival, of love between mother and son and of enduring hope in the face of unspeakable hardship’.

Professor Peter Lantos is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and was an internationally renowned clinical neuroscientist. Peter was awarded the British Empire Medal in 2020 for ‘services to Holocaust education and awareness’.

Please book via the Mosaic website before Wednesday 21st June for catering purposes. If you require a supervised option, please let us know in advance.
