Anne McNeill Pulati – Allegories and Metaphors
16-29 September 2022
Anne McNeill Pulati uses the figure as a vehicle, metaphorically and pictorially, in her creative practice. These images are her personal reflections of human experience and spirituality.
Inspiration and research for the work includes ancient and modern belief systems, myths and legends, and cultural variations from around the world, particularly regarding the journey of the soul. For many years she has been interested in metaphor and often incorporates motifs and symbols, ignoring compositional perspectives and using metaphysical landscapes.
Symbols which are commonly understood, such as figures, angels, flowers, rivers, and shadows appear frequently. Anne states that she is principally a colourist. The medium of paint offers her the freedom to tell a narrative through colours, textures and surfaces and allows an immediacy that encourages her imagination.
Art-making has enabled Anne to develop an understanding of the journey in life which she follows. The essence of Quakerism sits in her life’s journey. The making of a painting has come, for her, from a place which at that point is a “story beginning to unfold.”
“Through the act of creativity, I enter a process which delivers something that usually surprises me and also is not consciously designed. In this process, I receive insights and a fulfillment only by entering this activity.”
She believes that we all have gifts that are not our own, but are to share, and which may possibly benefit others. The fact that we should share our gifts is the point, and it is usually fear of failure that stops us. She says: “It doesn’t matter what you share, it’s the intention behind it that people will see.” In showing her work she hopes that those who see it, will be able to ponder on their own responses.

Snapshot Photography and Highgate School’s Collection
Elaine Woodbridge has been a volunteer archivist at Highgate School for the last two years working on the school’s photographic slide collection and other projects. Elaine has been fascinated with mid-century slide photographs since she began collecting them more than twenty years ago in South Africa. In her journey with old slides, she has digitised and creatively edited them, shared them on social media, made art and given public talks about them.
Found photographs have an enthusiastic following in popular culture where people do everything from collecting, blogging and making art with them, to trying to reunite them with their original owners. The snapshots of yesterday have also influenced mainstream photography and given rise to new aesthetic traditions. They have great creative potential and have been used by artists in a myriad of ways. But they also contain an intimate and important record of people’s lives and society in past decades, as well as the worlds of work and education. Elaine has read widely on this subject which finds itself at the meeting place of technology, history, popular culture, fine art and archives.
Elaine is completing a Masters degree in Archives and Records Management at the University of Dundee and previously studied Archaeology, Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Cape Town. She is not averse to scratching around in flea markets and dusty drawers for lost photographs. Elaine was delighted to be given the task of working with Highgate’s slide collections, showing school life in the 1960s and 1980s, which she says is a treasure trove of surprising images that open a window on decades past, and is a valuable component of the school’s archive holdings. She asks what we can learn from them and how to understand the collection against the backdrop of British vernacular photography.
Elaine will discuss concepts of snapshot photography and offer behind-the-scenes insights into caring for and archiving a slide collection, covering storage and preservation, copyright and digitisation. Her talk will be illustrated with stunning images from her South African collection, as well as those of Highgate School. She will comment on the value of the collection for bringing to light the school’s changing education technology, built environment and way of life. The 1960s to 1980s was a period on the brink of great technological and digital change. It is a world still cherished in the living memories of many parents and alumni.
Join Elaine Woodbridge online on September 26 to hear more about this intriguing topic and see a glimpse of life at the school back in the day.

Electric cars will be vital to London achieving net zero carbon targets because of reluctance of drivers to walk and cycle, according to David Metz, Professor of Centre for Transport Studies at UCL. This reluctance is illustrated by Highgate’s resistance to Haringey and Camden’s plans to encourage walking and cycling, arguably for good reasons including demography, suburban location, topography and road layouts. David has been described as a “guru” in understanding how people travel and his new book “Good to Go, Decarbonising Travel after the Pandemic” puts all of this into perspective, particularly his research in Copenhagen and other cities. The book has been described as “a tour de force survey from one of our most thoughtful transport experts”. He shows how the car will remain important and how transport planners and modelers keep focusing on the wrong thing in looking at time savings. Decarbonising will thus require a new way of thinking; no easy answers but lots of options.
