# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Private View: poíēsis by Tom de Freston
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the opening night of poíēsis, an exhibition by artist Tom de Freston at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. Grab a glass of wine and be one of the first to view this new body of works, the latest in a series of creative collaborations between de Freston and his wife, the novelist Kiran Millwood Hargrave.

The works emerge from a period of profound personal upheaval: the couple experienced seven pregnancy losses before welcoming their daughter in 2023. Staged within shifting architectures and grounded within bodies which owe as much to Titian as they do the antique, the show reverberates with uncanny historical echoes - inviting us to find space for the pregnant body (and its vulnerabilities) in the classical canon. These works do not aestheticise grief; they metabolise it, fusing biography with myth in a language that is raw, tender and fiercely contemporary.

Entry is free, but booking is required.
