A global exploration of selfhoodProfessor Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad FBA and Professor Lucy O'Brien FBAExplore how ideas of the self - both as individuals and as part of a community - have shifted across time and culture. From ancient traditions to modern trends, leading researchers will trace how concepts of “me” and “we” continue to shape the world we live in today.Reimagining BeautyEmma Dabiri, Professor Viren Swami, and Professor Heather WiddowsWhat role do beauty ideals play in society - and who decides? In the age of filters, photoshop and plastic surgery, how can we build healthier relationships with our bodies? Uncover the social history of aesthetic ideals and explore how we might redefine what “beauty” truly means.10-Minute TalksHomeless Families, Stigmatised Mothers: Survival in the age of selfProfessor Katherine BrickellWhat does it mean to parent without a home in a society obsessed with self-sufficiency? Drawing on her acclaimed book, Debt Trapped Nation, Professor Katherine Brickell shines a light on how homeless families navigate identity and selfhood -and why welfare systems often fail to provide the support they need.Jummah Aesthetics: Faith, beauty, and expressionDr Fatima RajinaHow do our religious beliefs impact the way we dress and present ourselves? Join Dr Fatima Rajina as she examines the intersection of masculinity, gendered beauty, religious expression, and bias through the sartorial practices of Muslim men in London’s East End.Memory and Me: Exploring selfhood in dementiaDr Josephine RossHow does our memory shape our sense of self? And what happens when it begins to fade? Join Dr Josephine Ross to unpack the language we use to define ourselves - and how our identity can become fractured if this narrative is lost.Drop-in activitiesSeeing Ourselves: Self-portraiture in an age of identityJoin artist Fiona Quadri for a creative drop-in workshop exploring how we understand and express “the self” in a world shaped by community, technology, and beauty ideals. Reflect on questions such as 'Who am I? ' and 'How do I want to be seen? and 'How do others shape my identity?'. Bring your ideas to life by illustrating or collaging your own self-portrait.Tour of the British AcademyDiscover the extensive art collection and historic architecture of 10-11 Carlton House Terrace on a guided tour with the British Academy’s curator or explore the building at your own pace with a self-guided tour.Exhibits and PerformancesJummah aesthetics: British Muslim men and their sartorial choicesDr Fatima Rajina and Rehan JamilThis digital exhibition features 25 photographs of British Muslim men and their Jummah (Friday prayers) attire - revealing how clothing shapes their identity and self-expression. Taken at Spitalfields and Whitechapel mosques, these photographs aim to challenge perceptions of Muslim men and broaden the conversation about Muslim sartorial choices beyond the usual focus on women.Sound System Outernational in session with Lin Kam Art sound systemProfessor Julian Henriques and Linett KamalaStep inside a specially curated listening space for a live DJ performance by Professor Julian Henriques and Linett Kamala, who will take us on a journey through selected vinyl tracks, accompanied by thoughts and ideas about how sound system culture cultivates and celebrates community identity, togetherness, and expression, all played on a custom hand-built sound system.Salon (Ticket add-on required)Threads and Tangles: Connection, identity, and understandingProfessor Patrick Haggard FBA, Dr Sally Holloway and Dr Pamela OdihIn this interactive event, three speakers will explore the role of self through interwoven topics before curated discussions with attendees. We will examine how the physical self is viewed through visual identities in relation to Afro-Caribbean hair before then exploring Georgian love tokens and what giving away part of your physical self to another can mean.
