Art Exhibition: “Brush, Lens, Life” by Mika Hadar
1st May – 27th May 2024
This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.
Mika is a London-based photographer, painter, and poet, integrating the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter’s brush.
Their work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence.
They view their art as ‘Visual Poetry’, where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses their inner landscape.
Mika explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through their lens. In painting, they respond to the view with their inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective.
Mika’s approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment. Their ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.
Come see Mika Hadar’s work at Lauderdale House during the month of May (1st – 27th). The exhibition is free and doesn’t require a ticket, but the gallery opening times change daily – please check on www.lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716 when planning your visit.

It is an evening of gowns, glamour and political hustings! Everyone’s invited. This is an inclusive community event.
As Londoners head for the polls, politicians are invited to address the voting public and share a song accompanied by Miss B Flatt.
Note to politicians and editors: politicians are invited to make their case and share a favourite melody, with live piano accompaniment. In the second half, questions from the Winchester ‘public box’ are revealed – and answers required!
About Miss B Flatt: Former musical director of avant-garde 1970s drag troupe The Bloolips, Miss B’ seeks national & local answers extempore & encore. Her geo-political ‘soft power’ soiree leaves little off the program.
For King, Country and Community!
Persuade, perform…VOTE!
THANK YOU!
