However when the longer historical picture is considered there are countless examples of visual culture that can illustrate the presence of a flourishing British-Russian cultural dialogue. One fascinating aspect of this history is that of gift giving and cultural diplomacy between the Russian and British monarchies. In 2018-2019 Louise Hardiman worked with Royal Collection Trust and others to organise an academic conference accompanying the groundbreaking exhibition "Russia Royalty and the Romanovs" at The Queen's Gallery Buckingham Palace. Building on this important project she decided to edit a collection of articles on the topic. In this lecture Hardiman will discuss the book "Courtly Gifts and Cultural Diplomacy: Art Material Culture and British-Russian Relations" which was published by Brill Schöningh in spring 2023. Covering topics from ambassadorial portraits to gifts of exotic plants to objects of Fabergé the book presents a richly illustrated survey of the topic through essays from twelve experts drawn from academia Royal Collection Trust and the private sector.Followed by a drinks reception.WHEN: Thursday, 22 June, 18:30 - 20:00WHERE: Yusuf Hamied Theatre, Christ College, 46 King St, Cambridge CB1 1LNLANGUAGE: EnglishTICKETS: £5 for CamRuSS members and concessions: students, OAPs, children and people on Universal credit, £8 - standard ticket.Online via Zoom - free for CamRuSS members and £4 for non-members. *Please note that £1 booking fee will be added to your ticket.This is a fundraising concert with profits going into the CamRuSS for Ukrainians hardship fund.For more information please visit: https://www.camruss.com/en/events/from-furs-to-faberge-gifts-diplomacy-and-british-russian-artistic-relations-by-dr-louise-hardiman/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/from-furs-to-fabergé-gifts-diplomacy-and-british-russian-artistic-relations-by-dr-louise-hardiman-ti/80007085940616 - **Event Categories**: art, business, concerts, music, exhibitions, theatre, entertainment, conferences - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 12 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 8, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Christ's College Cambridge, Saint Andrew's Street, Cambridge, UK - **lat**: 52.2053370000 - **long**: 0.1218170000 - **full address**: Christ's College Cambridge, Saint Andrew's Street, Cambridge, UK, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/thumb643130d2b20bf.jpg ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman being held? - **A:** From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman takes place on Thu, 22 Jun, 2023 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 22 Jun, 2023 at 08:00 pm at Christ's College Cambridge, Saint Andrew's Street, Cambridge, UK, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman? - **A:** Tickets for From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman are priced at GBP 8 per person. - **Q**: Who is organizing From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman? - **A:** From Furs to Fabergé: Gifts, Diplomacy and British-Russian Artistic Relations by Dr Louise Hardiman is organized by The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
