Ghosts of the Madruga
12 – 25 September
The Madrugada – the time between midnight and dawn when barriers between
the worlds are fragile and dreams and reality mingle.
Wilma Johnson creates vivid dreamscapes in which real people cross paths
with goddesses, gorgons and mythological creatures.
Many are set in her childhood home in Highgate which was destroyed by fire
– the spirit of the house has presence of its own.

Long term supporters of our Sunday lunchtime concerts may remember that among our very earliest performers were Sol Grimshaw and his jazz group – at that point just completing their stint at the Guildhall School of Music. Since then Sol has been a busy lad so we are delighted that he will be back with us at the end of September with a selection of lilting jazz tunes.

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can we ever understand Russia?
What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.
Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of Russia, Motherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.
Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.
