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.

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.
We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.
Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!
Saturday 23 March | 10–12 noon |
Saturday 20 April | 10–12 noon |
Saturday 18 May | 2.30–4.30pm |
Thursday 20 June | 7.30–9.30 pm |
Friday 19 July | 7.30–9.30 pm |
Saturday 17 August | 10–12 noon |
Wednesday 11 September | 7.30–9.30pm |
Saturday 19 October | 2.30–4.30pm |
Saturday 16 November | 10–12 noon |
Saturday 14 December | 10–12 noon |
Do come along to meet your neighbours, enjoy a good cup of coffee and find out what is happening in Highgate.
The planning committee often have someone on hand to answer planning queries.
A Word For Mother

Three sisters return home after their mums passing. They all reflect on their relationships with their mum and, over time, secrets, tensions and lies simmer to the surface. Will the sisters bond survive?

In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer gave it all up. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer. This show investigates the strange disappearance of Tom Lehrer – and includes some of his greatest songs, like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Elements.
This June, we are delighted to present the ethereal works of William Cai, Chinese painter whose feather-light strokes immortalise the beauty of nature.
William Cai is an internationally renowned artist, accomplished in both freestyle brushwork (Xieyi) and fine detailed brushwork (Gungbi). His work has received many awards and been collected by museums all over the world. In the early 1990s, he was hired by the Victoria and Albert Museum to teach Chinese painting, and has since taught the discipline at various art institutions in the UK.
