During the lockdown months, Hilary researched Greek Myths and was inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine who was taught his art by snakes. He is remembered to this day by the use of the serpent in the badges and arms of medical associations around the world. There is also on display a painting depicting the Three Greek Fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who respectively spun, measured and finally cut the Thread of Life. A particularly appropriate concept during the Pandemic.

In partnership with the London Geodiversity Partnership, we are delighted to offer a free Waterlow Park Geotrail as part of our Heritage Weekend. Join us as we learn how the geology of Waterlow Park relates to its layout and local development from the London Geodiversity Partnership.
The Geotrail will be led by Diana Clements. Diana has lived in Islington for many years and brought her children to Waterlow Park when they were young where they enjoyed rolling around in the mud produced from the springs on the slope. In 1995, she curated a temporary exhibition for the Islington Museum, then in Upper Street: Beneath Our Feet: the Geology of Islington. Since 1990 she has worked in the Natural History Museum and in 2010 compiled a Geologists’ Association Guide to the Geology of London (revised 2023). She has been able to continue her passion for the geology of London by becoming an active member of the London Geodiversity Partnership.
The tour will begin promptly at 12pm. Please meet at the front desk in the Entrance Hall from 11.45am (enter via the East Entrance directly off Highgate Hill). The walks will last approximately 45 minutes, so wrap up warm and prepare for winter weather.
For those unfamiliar with the Park, there are some steep slopes – please get in touch via email or by ringing 020 8348 8716 with any questions relating to accessibility.
This talk will focus on recent projects ranging from Highgate Library, Chester Road which has now been completed, Highgate Cemetery which is underway and Hall for All, Acland Burghley which is in development.
The talk will look at how heritage sustainability and long-term futures can be ensured through:
- the social impact of historical community buildings and spaces
- environmental improvements (within the architecture and environment).
Highgate Library has just undergone major refurbishment after numerous threats to closure.
The talk will look at the highly unusual, and successful, partnership between Council and volunteers; the volunteers having played a key role in keeping the library open when it was threatened previously. More recently, it looked as if the library may have to close due to the state of the building but the partnership between local councillors Anna Wright, Camron Aref-Adib and Lorna Jane Russell, Camden Council Officers and the Friends of Highgate Library have saved it.
Acland Burghley’s Hall for All campaign also follows a story of transformation. Built in the Brutalist style of the 1960s, the hall not only serves as an exam and assembly room for pupils, but a stage for the OAE (Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment), an exhibition space, and soon to be Museum of Brutalist Architecture. Transforming the Hall is due to be completed in 2026.
The details include:
Restoring the heritage interior and sound cladding back to the original design to create world-class acoustics.
Creating an environmental solution for heating and ventilation.
Designing flexible staging and seating in the 679 sq metres of space that will accommodate all kinds of groups including performance, arts and sports.
Including disabled access and toilets to ensure all members of the community can participate, both as audience members and performers.
Allowing for up-to-date lighting and sound systems to facilitate state-of-the-art performances.
Renovating the amphitheatre to provide an outdoor space for events.
Meanwhile, the UK’s first Museum of Brutalist Architecture will be part physical/part digital and will support heritage outreach work in the wider community. An outdoor performance space will also be created and the school’s amphitheatre, made from stones from the original Victorian school on the Burghley Road site, will be renovated. Since launching their fundraising bid, the school has been inviting back alumni to take part in a range of arts-focused activities, including creating 60 headshots for the 60 years the school has been open. Community is at the heart of this rebuild, and have been consulted at every stage to really make this into a Hall for All.
Highgate Cemetery forms the third part of this talk. With plans to undergo major redevelopments such as installing a gallery space, education workshop and new office for staff, the Cemetery is looking forward to integrating its hyperlocal communities. Though a world-renowned tourist spot, the cemetery has offered a place for communities to connect for decades. Now it is about looking at how it can support local communities to grow and develop and connect with the site. By providing a gallery space and room for educational workshops, opportunity is opened up for local schools and artists to connect with local spaces and develop new relationships.
- Speakers
Venetia Wolfenden – Founding Director of Urban Learners on behalf of Hall for All, Acland Burghley - Sarah Harrison – Chair, Highgate Library Management Group, Friends of Highgate Library
- Speaker TBC – Highgate Cemetery
This talk will focus on two local estates: the White Flats on the Whittington estate and the Holly Lodge estate.
The architecture on both estates was specifically designed with the communities for whom it was intended, while also looking at life on those estates and how it has evolved over time
The White Flats on the Whittington estate were designed between 1972 and 1979 by Peter Tabori and Ken Adie to create a place where a sense of community would flourish.
The Holly Lodge estate was built in the 1920’s. The original plan was to build houses on the entire estate but due to slow sales and the need for drainage from the higher ground, the land to the east of the new central road was instead acquired by Lady Workers’ Homes Limited to build blocks of rooms for single women moving to London in order to work as secretaries and clerks.
The talk will cover what it is like to live on the local estates where there is a strong sense of community and solidarity amongst neighbours. Both the White Flats and Holly Lodge have served a range of people in their time and have becoming living history themselves, responding to the needs of the time and supporting their tenants through major points in their lives.
The White Flats film (20 minutes) will be shown, followed by a Q&A
Speakers
Roger Elliott – Chair, Holly Lodge Community Centre

Join us for our Nowruz Festival, returning for the second year to Lauderdale House! We are hosting a month-long celebration for Nowruz – also known as Persian New Year – with talks from incredible speakers, a ‘Haft-sin’ Trail, a bazaar, art exhibitions and more.
Nowruz is a tradition celebrated by over 300 million people worldwide for more than 3,000 years. It holds significance in Western Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea Basin, the Balkans, and South Asia. A celebration deeply rooted in Iranian culture, Nowruz serves as a vital element of Iranian identity, fostering a sense of pride in one’s heritage while forging connections with both history and the community. Iranians exhibit commendable dedication in preserving and perpetuating this cherished tradition, ensuring its continuous vibrancy and significance throughout generations.
Often compared to a Paradise Garden with its secret enclaves, ponds and myriad of trees (including a Persian Ironwood tree), Waterlow Park has become a key location for families and friends looking to celebrate throughout the period. We are delighted to bring the party back to Lauderdale House this year under the guidance of our Artist/Curator Mehrdad Aref-Adib.

Part of our Nowruz festival, experience a captivating showcase of visual storytelling as four UK-based Iranian illustrators bring their unique artistic perspectives to Lower Gallery.
Through a fusion of digital, printmaking, and mixed media techniques, Mehrdad Aref-Adib, Sahar Haghgoo, Sahar Khaleghi and Shokoufeh Fallah explore themes of identity, nature, and the interplay between reality and imagination.
Mehrdad Aref-Adib is an Iranian-born, London-based fine artist and illustrator, Mehrdad’s work captures the essence of his dual heritage, weaving together nostalgia, culture, and art with humour. Mehrdad is an important part of the Lauderdale House family and is for the second year curating our entire Nowruz Festival. To learn more about Mehrdad and his work, please visit his Instagram.
Sahar Haghgoo is an illustrator and painter originally from Iran and now based in London. Her work explores the concepts of beauty and the sublime, focusing on the interplay between these two ideas. Sahar examines how beauty can evoke pleasure and satisfaction, while the sublime inspired feelings of awe, respect, and even fear. It seems that by drawing and visualizing monsters, Sahar discovers unknown parts of herself, and by shaping them, she also shapes her own existence and nature. Her work is deeply connected to the aesthetics of nature, exploring themes of monsters in nature, the unknown, change and transformation, and the destruction of beauty. Sahar is particularly interested in exploring this contrast through themes of size and proportion, familiarity and unfamiliarity, and the emotional responses they elicit. She often work with different techniques to capture these nuances and create pieces that invite viewers to consider the complex relationship between these seemingly opposing forces. To learn more about Sahar and her work, please visit her website or her Instagram.
Sahar Khaleghi is an Iranian artist now based in London. Her art passionately addresses the pressing concerns of her homeland. Sahar’s works have been exhibited in numerous countries around the world, including the UK, Germany, Estonia, Greece, and China. In 2018, Sahar was honoured with the Special Award at the International Gold Panda Cartoon and Illustration competition in China. Recently, her art featured prominently at the 52nd Belgrade Golden Pen Illustration Festival exhibition! and has gained recognition in several international magazines. Having grown up as a young woman in Iran, Sahar has choosen to weave modern and historical influences into her art, aiming to illuminate the experiences of women across cultures. Through her creations, Sahar seeks to convey powerful narratives that transcend borders, speaking to the challenges and triumphs of women worldwide. To learn more about Sahar and her work, please visit her website, her Instagram or her Facebook page.
Shokoufeh Fallah is a London-based Iranian Printmaker. While drawing and painting are important parts of her practice, printmaking holds a special place in Shokoufeh’s work thanks to its exquisite texture, its relation to fertility and birth, and the way the tools allow her to reach a world fraught with expressive colours, lines and textures. Shokoufeh is influenced by various themes, from that of womanhood and eroticism, which are ingrained with expressive colours and create intense, two-fold, intermingled spaces, to the reciprocity of life and death, which is accompanied with elements like fish, birds and trees taking away their freedom through rigid lines entangling them. Humans, forms and colours of her works are accompanied with a sort of embroilment, along with a sizzling rhythm which catapults Shokoufeh out from her inner world together with a cultural nostalgia, allowing her to conceive the persistence of life in the outer world through clinging the colours and forms. To learn more about Shokoufeh and her work, please visit her website.

Come and enjoy the beauty of Persian calligraphy as three UK-based Iranian artists bring their visions to Upper Gallery.
This exhibition celebrates the elegance of Persian script, where tradition meets contemporary expression through the hands of skilled calligraphers Tahmineh and Saeid Palizdar and Razieh Riazati.
Tahmineh and Saeid Palizdar are a dynamic father-daughter calligraphy duo who breathe new life into Persian calligraphy, blending heritage with modern interpretations. Their work embodies a deep-rooted passion for the fluidity and elegance of Persian script.
Saeed Palizdar is an accomplished calligrapher with a deep-rooted passion for Persian calligraphy, which he began exploring in Iran in the 1980s. With an extensive background in traditional scripts such as Nastaliq and Shekaste, his work reflects years of dedication to preserving and evolving this ancient art form. Recently, Saeed has been blending modern techniques with traditional calligraphy, incorporating mixed media and acrylic on canvas to create striking compositions. The elegance and precision of his work showcase the timeless beauty of Persian calligraphy, while his exploration of new methods breathes fresh energy into the art.
Tahmineh Palizdar’s work is a vibrant, youthful expression of Persian calligraphy, characterized by bold colours and dynamic forms. Trained from a young age under the guidance of her father, Saeed, she has built upon traditional techniques to create her own distinctive approach. By blending modern sensibilities with classical forms, she brings a playful and experimental element to the art. Through the use of vivid colours, her pieces convey a sense of energy and movement, while still honouring the grace of Persian script. Tahmineh’s work seeks to connect the rich heritage of calligraphy with a contemporary perspective, offering a fresh interpretation that resonates with today’s audience. To learn more about Tahmineh and Saeid, please visit their Instagram.
Razieh Riazati was born in Tehran in 1976. Although she pursued a degree in clinical psychology, her passion for the arts was ever-present. Her journey eventually led her to calligraphy, igniting an enduring fascination with this expressive art form. “Calligraphy feels like a harmonious dance between structure and creativity. Every brushstroke, like words on a canvas, holds boundless meaning.” Razieh’s works are deeply inspired by the poetry of Victor Hugo, Hafez, Rumi, Saadi, and Sohrab Sepehri. Her paintings spontaneously emerge from this poetic influence, using vibrant acrylic and oil colours to capture profound philosophical themes. She eventually founded Raaz Art, a brand with a name that blends her own name and the Farsi word for “mystery,” symbolizing the enigmatic beauty inherent in her creations.

We are delighted to exhibit paintings and artificial flowers crafted by Yaran Women’s Club members in celebration of Nowruz.
Yaran Women’s Club is a non-profit constituted organisation and is solely established to help women of all ages who are suffering from isolation and loneliness, anxiety and depression or any other kind of mental health issues. It is a safe place for women and their children.

The collaborative exhibition was created by women of Yaran and their teacher Mitra, a professional textile artist, combining paintings with artificial flowers. Each member contributed by sticking flowers onto the canvas and textile and painting over them, producing unique and amazing works of art.
Widely observed in various regions, including the Middle East, Asia, the Balkans, and East Africa, Nowruz has evolved with diverse traditions centred around the theme of rebirth. Celebrated around the spring equinox, Nowruz announces the transition from winter to spring in the northern hemisphere. These beautiful works represent not only the rebirth heralded in by Nowruz, but also the transformative power that Yaran Women’s Club has on its members.

Join us for our Nowruz Festival, returning for the second year to Lauderdale House! We are hosting a month-long celebration for Nowruz – also known as Persian New Year – with talks from incredible speakers, a ‘Haft-sin’ Trail, a bazaar, art exhibitions and more.
Nowruz is a tradition celebrated by over 300 million people worldwide for more than 3,000 years. It holds significance in Western Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea Basin, the Balkans, and South Asia. A celebration deeply rooted in Iranian culture, Nowruz serves as a vital element of Iranian identity, fostering a sense of pride in one’s heritage while forging connections with both history and the community. Iranians exhibit commendable dedication in preserving and perpetuating this cherished tradition, ensuring its continuous vibrancy and significance throughout generations.
Often compared to a Paradise Garden with its secret enclaves, ponds and myriad of trees (including a Persian Ironwood tree), Waterlow Park has become a key location for families and friends looking to celebrate throughout the period. We are delighted to bring the party back to Lauderdale House this year under the guidance of our Artist/Curator Mehrdad Aref-Adib.

Part of our Nowruz festival, experience a captivating showcase of visual storytelling as four UK-based Iranian illustrators bring their unique artistic perspectives to Lower Gallery.
Through a fusion of digital, printmaking, and mixed media techniques, Mehrdad Aref-Adib, Sahar Haghgoo, Sahar Khaleghi and Shokoufeh Fallah explore themes of identity, nature, and the interplay between reality and imagination.
Mehrdad Aref-Adib is an Iranian-born, London-based fine artist and illustrator, Mehrdad’s work captures the essence of his dual heritage, weaving together nostalgia, culture, and art with humour. Mehrdad is an important part of the Lauderdale House family and is for the second year curating our entire Nowruz Festival. To learn more about Mehrdad and his work, please visit his Instagram.
Sahar Haghgoo is an illustrator and painter originally from Iran and now based in London. Her work explores the concepts of beauty and the sublime, focusing on the interplay between these two ideas. Sahar examines how beauty can evoke pleasure and satisfaction, while the sublime inspired feelings of awe, respect, and even fear. It seems that by drawing and visualizing monsters, Sahar discovers unknown parts of herself, and by shaping them, she also shapes her own existence and nature. Her work is deeply connected to the aesthetics of nature, exploring themes of monsters in nature, the unknown, change and transformation, and the destruction of beauty. Sahar is particularly interested in exploring this contrast through themes of size and proportion, familiarity and unfamiliarity, and the emotional responses they elicit. She often work with different techniques to capture these nuances and create pieces that invite viewers to consider the complex relationship between these seemingly opposing forces. To learn more about Sahar and her work, please visit her website or her Instagram.
Sahar Khaleghi is an Iranian artist now based in London. Her art passionately addresses the pressing concerns of her homeland. Sahar’s works have been exhibited in numerous countries around the world, including the UK, Germany, Estonia, Greece, and China. In 2018, Sahar was honoured with the Special Award at the International Gold Panda Cartoon and Illustration competition in China. Recently, her art featured prominently at the 52nd Belgrade Golden Pen Illustration Festival exhibition! and has gained recognition in several international magazines. Having grown up as a young woman in Iran, Sahar has choosen to weave modern and historical influences into her art, aiming to illuminate the experiences of women across cultures. Through her creations, Sahar seeks to convey powerful narratives that transcend borders, speaking to the challenges and triumphs of women worldwide.
